Ethereum vs Bitcoin: what the numbers say
At the latest snapshot, 1 ETH = 0.026851 BTC.
By market capitalisation, Bitcoin is the larger network — about 6.2× the size of Ethereum in AUD terms. Larger caps generally mean deeper liquidity on Australian exchanges and tighter spreads, while smaller caps can move more sharply on news or thin order books.
Over the past seven days, ETH is down 4.98% while BTC is down 4.82% — the two are moving in lockstep. Short-term percentage moves show momentum but say nothing about long-term value.
Australian buyers can trade both Ethereum and Bitcoin on AUSTRAC-registered exchanges such as CoinSpot, Independent Reserve, Swyftx and Kraken AU. Each disposal — including swapping ETH for BTC — is a CGT event under ATO guidance, so keep records of the AUD value at the time of every trade.
