According to @cas_abbe, Ethereum recorded 6,069 mentions by VCs and angel investors over the past month, with discussions up 35.77% and unique investor interest up 17.82%, highlighting a clear increase in institutional and angel focus on ETH (source: @cas_abbe on X, Aug 28, 2025). Bitcoin declined in both mentions by 12.63% and unique investors by 12.42%, indicating waning VC mindshare for BTC during the same period (source: @cas_abbe on X, Aug 28, 2025). For trading, the documented shift in VC attention supports monitoring ETH versus BTC relative strength and liquidity signals in ETH ecosystem deal flow as a sentiment gauge, without inferring price direction (source: @cas_abbe on X, Aug 28, 2025).
