Bitcoin\u2019s spot dominance stands at 59.42%, while Ethereum is at 13.62%. However, in open interest, the gap narrows: <strong>Bitcoin holds 56.7%<\/strong>, ETH 43.3%.

As a result, ETH\u2019s open interest dominance increased, and investors maintained a bullish outlook. Furthermore, Fed decisions on interest rates directly influence ETH\u2019s potential to outperform BTC.
