Ben Cowen: Ethereum Season Is Here | How Far Can ETH Go?

Ethereum has flipped the switch. After years of underperformance, ETH is showing decisive momentum, not just in USD terms, but against Bitcoin and the broader altcoin market. In this episode, Ben Cowen returns to break down what’s changed, why ETH may be on a path to new all-time highs, and what its dominance means for the rest of the cycle. We explore ETH’s regression bounce, ETHBTC targets, the fading strength of altcoins, and how market narratives tend to follow price, not the other way around. Ben also lays out his roadmap for the coming months and shares why this phase might be “Ethereum season,” not just in name, but in structure. For anyone navigating crypto in 2024–2025, this is essential context. ------ 📣 INTO THE CRYPTOVERSE | GET 10% OFF https://intothecryptoverse.com/ref/bankless/ ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi https://bankless.cc/Frax 🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN https://bankless.cc/unichain 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 3:40 ETH Coming Home 14:13 Why ETH Outperforms Now 18:51 What ETH Season Actually Looks Like 24:48 ETHBTC Targets & USD Projections 29:25 Price First, Narrative Later 32:27 Bitcoin Risks & the Flippening Hypothetical 36:17 Ben’s Market Timeline 43:36 ETH Treasury Narrative Flip 48:11 Where’s the Alt Season? ------ RESOURCES Ben Cowen https://x.com/intocryptoverse Ben’s Channel https://www.youtube.com/@intothecryptoverse Into The Cryptoverse https://intothecryptoverse.com/ ------ Not financial or tax advice.
