On December 28th, Grayscale's official statement on social media indicated that Ethereum (ETH) has generated strong returns in 2023, exceeding 80%. However, its performance lags behind BTC and some other smart contract blockchain tokens. The ratio between ETH and BTC price indices recently reached its lowest level since mid-2021. In fact, the gains of most smart contract platform tokens this year have been lower than Bitcoin, and ETH has largely aligned with this broader category. The FTSE Grayscale CryptoSector Index, representing smart contract platforms, has risen by approximately 94% in 2023, slightly higher than ETH's increase. Despite ETH trailing behind Bitcoin and some other crypto assets in 2023, it still outperforms traditional asset classes. Therefore, the rebound of ETH should be considered as evidence of the broader cryptocurrency market recovery.
