Ethereum (ETH) investors are bracing for potential market pressure as Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, warns of an impending ETH/BTC price crash. Mow predicts that the upcoming unstaking of 768,400 ETH, worth approximately $3.5 billion, could lead to significant market volatility and a potential ETH/BTC price crash to 0.03 or lower [1].
Mow's concerns are echoed by Tom Lee, now chairman of BitMine Immersion Technology, who has been accumulating ETH while still promoting Bitcoin. Lee's statement that ETH could flip BTC has been met with skepticism from Mow, who believes that Bitcoin's dominance will remain unchallenged [2].
Bitcoin (BTC) price analysis suggests two possible scenarios. Mow predicts a "Godzilla/Omega candle" scenario where altcoins, including ETH, could be pushed down by 30-40%. Alternatively, Mow suggests that once the altcoin mania subsides, Bitcoin could experience a significant price surge [3].
The unstaking event is expected to put additional ETH into circulation, potentially leading to increased market supply and downward pressure on ETH's price. This event coincides with a broader shift in institutional and retail investment flows, with Ethereum ETFs recording $1.02 billion in net inflows compared to $178 million for Bitcoin ETFs [4].
Institutional investors are increasingly viewing Ethereum as a key player in the future of digital finance. The continued buying spree and strong ETF inflows indicate a long-term strategic view of Ethereum as a reserve asset with strong utility. However, the market remains volatile, with both institutional and retail investors reevaluating their crypto portfolios in response to these dynamics [5].

Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, believes Ethereum will never flip Bitcoin. He points to the upcoming unstaking of 768,400 ETH, worth $3.5 billion, which could lead to market pressure and a potential ETH/BTC price crash to 0.03 or lower. Mow also disagrees with Tom Lee's statement that ETH could flip BTC. Lee, who is now chairman of BitMine Immersion Technology, has been accumulating ETH while still promoting Bitcoin. Mow suggests two possible Bitcoin price scenarios: a Godzilla/Omega candle that pushes altcoins down 30-40%, or once the altcoin mania passes, Bitcoin will take off.
