In August 2025, Ethereum surpassed Bitcoin in trading volumes on centralized exchanges for the first time in seven years, making a significant mark in the cryptocurrency market.
Ethereum Surpasses Bitcoin in Trading Volume
According to data from The Block, Ethereum's trading volume on centralized exchanges reached $480 billion in August 2025, which is $79 billion more than Bitcoin. This historic moment ended Bitcoin's dominance in global spot trading volumes.
Record Investments in ETH ETFs
In August, spot ETH ETFs attracted $3.87 billion in investments, while Bitcoin products reported a loss of $751 million. This reflects the increasing interest in Ethereum from institutional investors and large corporations.
State of the Bitcoin and Ethereum Market Post-August
Following a significant surge in August, Bitcoin and Ethereum prices have cooled off slightly. Currently, Ethereum is trading at $4,403, while Bitcoin is around $112,210. Despite the minor cooling, both assets maintain a bullish trend in the cryptocurrency market.
The crypto market is expected to end the year on an optimistic note, especially with potential changes in economic policy that may trigger new records for both Ethereum and Bitcoin.
