At this point, it is tempting to compare the price trajectories of both the leading cryptocurrencies.

Over the last seven days, BTC fell 0.09% and ETH rose 3.18%.

Over the last month, BTC rose 9.8% and ETH rose 53.6%.

Over the last year, BTC rose 77% and ETH rose 13%.

What we can infer from the data above is that ETH's price uptick is significantly higher than that of BTC in the past few weeks. However, BTC is a clear winner on a 12-month timeframe.

However, the BMNR stock remained rather flat and closed at $32 even as the company announced a $1 billion stock repurchase program on July 29.
