Ethereum outpaced Bitcoin over the latest 24-hour window, with the performance gap already on the board by early Sunday, November 1, according to figures published by COINOTAG.

Market data timestamped 02:07 UTC showed Ethereum (ETH) up 1.28% over the trailing 24-hour period, while Bitcoin (BTC) recorded a 0.51% gain over the same interval. At that reading, the Ethereum price stood at $2,273. The figures were published on November 1, 2026.

The resulting spread of 0.77 percentage points is what places the two assets side by side on relative performance, a comparison followed as a rolling read on how the largest cryptocurrencies are moving against one another. Because the 24-hour window refreshes continuously as older price points drop out of the calculation, the gap can widen, narrow, or reverse with subsequent updates; a single early-Sunday reading therefore describes one moment rather than a settled trend. Later publications of the same metric will indicate whether the gap held, tightened, or flipped.

Background

Ethereum is the native asset of the Ethereum blockchain, a smart-contract platform that underpins a large share of decentralized finance (DeFi) activity. Bitcoin, introduced in 2009, remains the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, with Ether commonly ranked second among digital assets.

The ETH/BTC pairing is a widely followed benchmark for gauging relative performance between the two largest cryptocurrencies. Twenty-four-hour percentage change is a standard metric used by exchanges and market-data providers to compare short-term price movement across digital assets. Because ETH and BTC together anchor most digital-asset benchmarks, shifts in their relative standing are closely watched reference points in routine market commentary.
