According to Crypto Rover, Ethereum has significantly underperformed compared to other major cryptocurrencies this cycle, leading many traders to overlook its potential. However, the thread highlights several trading-relevant factors suggesting a possible change in ETH’s trajectory, including upcoming network upgrades, potential ETF approvals, and increasing institutional interest (source: Crypto Rover, Twitter, May 6, 2025). These developments could improve ETH’s liquidity and price stability, making it a strategic asset for traders seeking exposure to large-cap altcoins as market sentiment shifts.
