A 25 GB pruned Ethereum node is the same as a Bitcoin full node. A pruned Ethereum node is one that has pruned all intermediate states (the state refers to all account balances at a given block), which Bitcoin full nodes don't store (Bitcoin full nodes only keep a copy of the latest block's state, Ethereum full nodes keep a copy of every block's state).

So a pruned Ethereum node and a Bitcoin full node both have the entire transaction history and the current state.
