In a groundbreaking move, BTCS has unveiled plans to distribute the world’s first blockchain dividend to its investors and pay out shareholders with Ethereum. By delivering shareholder rewards directly on-chain, the company is signaling a future where blockchain-native payouts could become the norm across the global financial sector. The Long-Term Signal For Institutional Crypto Adoption Nasdaq-listed BTCS Inc. has announced a landmark move in traditional finance and crypto integration to become the first publicly traded company in the world to issue dividends in Ethereum. According to the announcement on X, the company revealed that it will pay shareholders a one-time blockchain dividend or “Bividend” of $0.05 per share in ETH, breaking away from the traditional cash dividend model and signaling its deep commitment to blockchain adoption. Related Reading: Bitmine And Donald Trump Spent The Weekend Stacking Ethereum, Here’s How Much They Got BTCS is going further to reward loyalty and empower long-term holders, offering a one-time $0.35 per share ETH loyalty payment. Eligible shareholders who transfer their shares to book-entry form with the company’s transfer agent and hold them through January 26, 2026, will unlock this additional benefit.  Combined, the bividend and loyalty shareholders could receive $0.40 per share in ETH, which is significantly designed as a reward and structural defense against short-selling. “These payments are designed to reward our long-term shareholders and empower them to take control of their investment by reducing the ability of their shares to be lent to predatory short-sellers,” BTCS stated. BTCS Inc. is excited to make history in the financial landscape with this key strategic move. The company frames this move as more than just a dividend, but also a statement of trust, loyalty, and shared vision for BTCS’s future. Bitmine Ethereum Hoard Signals Long-Term Institutional Confidence While BTCS Inc. is becoming the first publicly traded company in the world to issue a dividend in ETH, Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), a leading treasury company, has cemented its place in history to become the largest ETH treasury holder in the world and the second-largest crypto treasury globally. Related Reading: SharpLink Poised To Dominate Ethereum Treasury Holdings At Record Pace — Here’s How Marty Chargin, a market expert on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), highlighted that the treasury company disclosed that its crypto holdings now exceed $6.612 billion, led by a staggering 1,523,373 ETH, which is valued at $4,326 ETH each. According to Bloomberg data, BMNR also holds 192 Bitcoin in addition to its ETH stack, signaling a diversified strategy.  The firm’s crypto strategy is substantial, with ETH being the company’s core bet. This positions BMNR Bitmine directly behind Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR), which holds an industry-defining 628,946 BTC valued at $74 billion.

According to CoinShares’ latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, inflows into crypto-products were $3.75 billion last week, the fourth-largest on record. Unsurprisingly, Ethereum was the standout after attracting the majority of capital with record-breaking inflows. Solana and XRP also experienced impressive demand, resulting in both cryptocurrencies receiving inflows exceeding 10% of the year-to-date total flows. Ethereum’s Record-Breaking Numbers Ethereum witnessed the most activity last week since the 2021 bull run that took many crypto investors by surprise. In terms of crypto-based products, Ethereum managed to displace Bitcoin’s supremacy last week by leading with $2.87 billion in inflows, representing 77% of the total $3.75 billion. This performance brought its year-to-date inflows to $11.094 billion, which is about 29% of total Ethereum assets under management.  Related Reading: Here’s Why Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices Are Crashing The intensity of institutional demand had an immediate impact on Ethereum’s market price action. Notably, the Ethereum price surged to $4,776 last week, its highest level since the 2021 bull market.  In terms of geographical location, most of the inflows came from the United States, with $3.725 billion in inflows, more than 99% of the total. This concentration was mostly by iShares ETFs. Smaller but meaningful contributions came from Canada with $33.7 million, Hong Kong with $20.9 million, and Australia with $12.1 million. On the other hand, Brazil and Sweden posted outflows of $10.6 million and $49.9 million, respectively. Although Bitcoin also managed to push to a new all-time price high of $124,128 last week, the leading cryptocurrency took a step back in institutional inflows. Bitcoin brought in $552 million last week. Although its year-to-date inflows are larger in absolute terms at $21.08 billion, they represent only 11.6% of its total assets under management (AuM), compared to Ethereum’s 29%. XRP And Solana Join The Party Although Ethereum captured most of the inflows, both Solana and XRP also attracted notable inflows that show the altcoins are gaining strength among institutional investors, despite the absence of spot crypto ETFs for these assets in the US market. Related Reading: Ethereum Falls Behind Solana In Major Metric, Is Altcoin Season At Risk? Solana-based products recorded $176.5 million, bringing its monthly flows to $199.2 million and its year-to-date figure to $1.05 billion. Effectively, this means that Solana-based products witnessed 89% of their total monthly inflow and 16.8% of their year-to-date inflow last week. XRP witnessed about $125.9 million worth of inflows last week, boosting its monthly total to $148.1 million and its 2025 total to $1.238 billion. As such, XRP-based products also witnessed 85% of their total monthly inflow and 10% of their year-to-date inflow last week. Sui, Cardano, Chainlink, and Short Bitcoin products also witnessed $11.3, $0.8 million, $1.2 million, and $4 million in inflows, respectively, last week. The only major exception was Litecoin, which diverged from the broader trend and recorded net outflows of $400,000. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Up to $2 billion in long positions face liquidation amid this Ethereum price crash. These positions would get liquidated if ETH drops to $4,200. Meanwhile, the ongoing wave of sell-offs puts the largest altcoin by market cap at risk of dropping to this level.  $2 Billion In Liquidations On The Horizon Amid Ethereum Price Crash Coinglass data shows that $2 billion in ETH long positions are at risk of being wiped out on exchanges if the Ethereum price drops to $4,200. The liquidation heatmap shows that there is a massive cluster waiting to be triggered. Therefore, further declines to the downside could trigger a wave of forced selling even as traders rush to close their positions.  Related Reading: Ethereum 4-Week Trend Shows When It Is Time To Sell Everything However, a positive for the Ethereum price is the fact that more traders are currently short than long. As such, market makers could hunt for liquidity at higher levels up to $4,500, where $2.8 billion in short positions could be wiped out if ETH reaches there.  Market commentator Zerohedge also highlighted how the net ETH shorts are at new highs on the CME. Based on this, he remarked that these short traders are “generously providing liquidity into the new all time highs.” Notably, these shorts were at new highs back when ETH broke above $4,000 earlier this month.  Meanwhile, ETH continues to see massive demand from the Ethereum treasury companies. The largest ETH treasury company, BitMine, yesterday announced that over the past week, it increased its ETH holdings by $1.7 billion to $6.6 billion. In the process, it added over 373,000 coins, increasing the total from 1.15 million to 1.52 million coins. Such purchases put massive buying pressure on ETH, which is bullish for the Ethereum price.  Sell Pressure From ETFs And Whales It is worth noting that the Ethereum price is currently facing selling pressure from the ETH ETFs and some whales, which can be bearish for the altcoin in the near term. SoSo Value data shows that these funds recorded a net outflow of $196.62 million on August 18. BlackRock’s ETHA, the largest ETH ETF, saw a net outflow of $87.16 million.  Related Reading: Pundit Predicts ‘Near Term’ Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices, There’s Still Room To Run This marked the second consecutive daily net outflows for the Ethereum ETFs. These funds had recorded an outflow of $59.34 million on August 15. Meanwhile, on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed that whales like Longling Capital are offloading ETH. Longling Capital sold 5,000 ETH today, locking in profits. A whale that has been dormant for a year has also begun selling and has sold 3,075 ETH so far.  At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $4,230, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Ethereum is navigating a crucial battleground between $3,900 support and $4,800 resistance, testing the market’s resolve. With recent pullbacks and strong support in place, speculations are whether ETH can sustain momentum and target the next milestone at $5,000. ETH Hits $4,793 Local Top: Bullish Continuation Confirmed The Crypto Professor, in a recent analysis posted on X, highlighted Ethereum’s impressive rally to a local top of $4,793. This surge came after ETH successfully broke the critical $4,100 resistance level, confirming a bullish continuation structure and signaling strong momentum from buyers despite the volatile market environment. Related Reading: Historic Test Ahead: Ethereum Nears Its All-Time High Amid Retail Sell-Offs Following this breakout, Ethereum entered what the analyst described as a healthy retracement phase, as traders took profits near resistance. Such pullbacks, while often unsettling to less experienced traders, are considered a natural part of sustaining an uptrend. The analyst stressed that as long as ETH maintains its position above the $4,100 support zone, the broader bullish structure remains intact. Consolidation between $4,100 and $4,700 would be especially constructive, creating a strong base of support before any attempt at a fresh breakout. Looking ahead, the key level to watch is the recent $4,793 high. A clean break above this point could act as a catalyst for momentum, propelling Ethereum toward the $5,000 psychological barrier, with $5,200 also within reach.  Ethereum Faces Key Resistance At $4,800 Previous ATH GrayWolf6, in a post on X, shared his thoughts on Ethereum’s weekly chart, noting that it is currently facing resistance at its previous all-time high of $4,800. He highlighted $3,900 as another critical level, explaining that ETH had failed to break this zone three times before dropping as low as $1,400. On the fourth attempt, however, ETH finally managed to break through, confirming the importance of this level in the broader market structure. Related Reading: Ethereum Looks Strong Despite Volatility – $10,000 Price Target Gains Momentum Currently, ETH is holding above $3,900, which now serves as a key support level. GrayWolf6 pointed out that after Ethereum’s rejection at $4,800, a pullback occurred, and a possible retracement back toward $3,900 remains a possibility. Despite the rejection, GrayWolf6 maintained that his expectation for a new all-time high is unchanged. He stressed that fluctuations of this nature are a normal part of price action, especially when an asset is testing major resistance levels. For now, the range between $3,900 and $4,800 remains the critical area to watch. A breakout above $4,800, according to GrayWolf6, would open the door for ETH to move beyond its previous highs and potentially enter a new phase of price discovery.

Ethereum’s evolution has followed a trajectory many analysts predicted, from a high-growth utility asset powering decentralized applications, to a maturing store of value that institutions and long-term holders are beginning to recognize. How Ethereum Enters Traditional Finance Ethereum’s journey as a store of value has followed a predictable but powerful curve, and ETH’s rise has been less of a surprise than a confirmation of history. Analyst Cas_Abbe has highlighted on X that since the ETH launch in 2015, what began as an experiment among cypherpunks and developers slowly found its footing in ICOs, DAOs, and retail adoption. By 2020, ETH had taken on a far more serious role, serving as the core collateral layer of Defi, drawing in funds, family offices, and crypto-native VCs. Related Reading: Ethereum On-Chain Volume Soars To $13 Billion, Approaching Historic Records Then in 2022 was the year the conversation changed and ETH reached its milestone, of Macro funds, corporates, and eventually ETF issuers. The financial advisors also started to pay attention to ETH, recognizing that its role is extended far beyond utility. Presently, ETFs are live, and large institutions are building positions, pension funds, and global allocators are beginning to engage.  According to Cas Abbe, this is the real inflection point, where finance runs on cycles, and history has shown a clear pattern that once pensions and institutions normalize an asset class, central banks are never too far behind. ETH is no longer a niche tech bet; it is evolving into a recognized monetary asset. The curve is slow at first, followed by early adopters, speculative capital, and then institutional adoption. However, the history shows that ETH is now firmly on that trajectory, and the final stages have accelerated rapidly. ETH Becoming The Era Of Tokenized Assets Crypto investor known as Ted on X has mentioned that Ethereum would power the next era of finance, and currently, trillions are flowing through its ecosystem. Institutions are building on it, and ETH has transformed into a yield-bearing reserve asset. Related Reading: Ethereum Is ‘The Biggest Macro Trade Over The Next 10–15 Years,’ Says Tom Lee The Ethereans have always known that ETH would scale, while rollups have turned congestion into capital, and reliability will matter as nearly a decade online without interruption has proven critical. Transactions are now cheap, measured in mere cents, not dollars, which is allowing value to move globally with efficiency. Everything is becoming tokenized: stablecoins, real-world assets, NFTs, corporate treasuries, it’s all on-chain. ETH is the foundation upon which companies from nimble startups to Fortune 500 giants are building as the default. Decentralization will be valued as a global neutral settlement layer for the world. ETH is no longer just a technological experiment, with companies buying and staking it. Institutions now recognize it as productive collateral. Ethereum is powering the future of finance, and what was once considered a bold prediction has become an inevitability. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum’s (ETH) latest price rally has sparked renewed debate over whether the market is nearing a critical turning point. Analysts are looking closely at past cycles for insight, with some suggesting that history may be repeating itself. If the patterns hold true, ETH could be only weeks away from a cycle peak, making this a decisive moment for investors to consider when it might be time to sell everything.  Ethereum’s Cycle Top Signals When To Exit Crypto analyst Jackis has shared insights into Ethereum’s recent price movements, indicating when investors should exit the market entirely. In a recent X social media post, the analyst noted that the ETH price action is closely mirroring its behavior from previous market cycles.  Related Reading: 5 Reasons Why Ethereum Price To $15,000 Is ‘Programmed’ Looking at the chart, Ethereum had hit one of its major cycle tops in January 2018, followed by another peak in November 2021. Moreover, both instances were preceded by a sharp upward trajectory that culminated in heavy corrections. Jackis also points out that in those earlier cycles, ETH was trading significantly above prior highs before topping out. This time, however, the altcoin has not even broken into a new all-time high yet, although it is currently approaching that critical resistance.  Notably, the timing of ETH’s current setup is significant, as the four-year cycle theory suggests that the cryptocurrency could be just four weeks away from a major top. Jackis noted that this window aligns with September, which could serve as a critical moment for investors to reassess risks and consider whether “selling everything” is warranted.  The analyst further highlighted that while Ethereum’s structure shows strength, most altcoins are lagging far behind. Cryptocurrencies such as Binance Coin (BNB), XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE) have already established their tops in 2021 and remain far below those levels.  Jackie stated that their price action suggests a market environment more consistent with ETH trading around $2,200, rather than its current level below $4,500. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has continued to march higher since its November 2022 lows, forming higher lows and higher highs in a textbook bull market structure. ETH Panic Selling Or Pre-Breakout Opportunity? In other news, crypto market expert Ether Wizz argues that the current panic selling of Ethereum mirrors the same mistake traders made with Bitcoin in past cycles. At the time, early sellers underestimated the strength of institutional demand and long-term buyers, only to watch BTC surge far beyond expectations. Related Reading: Pundit Predicts ‘Near Term’ Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices, There’s Still Room To Run The analyst highlighted a recent rebound in the Ethereum price above the 50-week Simple Moving Average (SMA), which historically has signaled the beginning of explosive rallies. The comparison between Ethereum’s 2025 chart and its 2017 breakout also highlights a similarity. In both cases, the cryptocurrency consolidated, reclaimed its moving average, and then accelerated higher.   Notably, Ether Wizz points out that Ethereum could still experience a short-term correction of 5% to 10%. However, he argues it is misguided to assume ETH has already peaked, maintaining instead that the cryptocurrency is in the early stages of a move that could eventually drive its price toward a new all-time high of $10,000.

Ethereum is about to enter into a new week, coming off of a week of interesting price action that saw it trading at its highest price levels since 2021. On one hand, the Spot Ethereum ETFs that had driven billions in inflows have just recorded their first daily outflow in over a week. On the other hand, order-book data shows a towering sell wall at $4,800 that could be described as Ethereum’s “final boss,” the level that could unlock a parabolic run if broken. Related Reading: XRP Chatter Reaches Ride-Share Drivers — Small Survey Shows Mixed Results ETF Inflows Break: Sentiment Cooling Down? The optimism around Ethereum’s rally cooled just as the week came to a close. Notably, US-based Spot ETH ETFs reported net outflows of $59.34 million on August 15, effectively ending an eight-day streak that had added $3.7 billion in inflows.  The reversal came just as Ethereum failed to clear $4,788, a level within 3% of its all-time high of $4,878, before slipping back to about $4,450. Although BlackRock’s ETHA stood out with $338.09 million in daily inflows, Grayscale’s ETHE and Fidelity’s FETH registered notable withdrawals of $101.74 million and $272.23 million. Total Ethereum Spot ETF Net Inflow: SoSoValue Speaking of Ethereum failing to clear $4,788, on-chain data shows a huge cluster of liquidity around this level. Particularly, Merlijn The Trader described the $4,800 as the “final boss” for ETH, pointing to billions in sell orders stacked at that level on Binance’s ETH/USDT pair. A liquidity heatmap shows a massive concentration of asks in this zone. According to the analyst, breaking above this level could unleash open skies for Ethereum. As long as this level is filled with more asks, there’s a possibility of it acting as a resistance for any upward move. However, clearing this fortress with enough buy volume would not just be a technical breakout but a psychological one, with the potential to push its price to new all-time highs. Image From X: Merlijn The Trader Bearish Retracement Scenario Although the liquidity narrative is currently leaning more towards a bullish breakout than bearish, another analysis from TradingView paints a more cautious picture. The analysis, which is based on the 4-hour candlestick timeframe chart, also identifies the $4,700 to $4,800 region as a supply-heavy resistance where Ethereum has already shown signs of exhaustion after an aggressive rally from early August.  However, multiple technical alignments, such as Break of Structure signals, fair value gaps (FVG), and Fibonacci retracements, show that Ethereum may be due for a retracement. The trade plan outlined anticipates an entry around $4,440, with a stop loss above $4,790 and a downside target of $3,375 at a strong support area. This would imply a corrective move of over 20% if the bearish projection plays out.

This week saw record trading in US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, driven largely by a sudden rush into Ether funds. Related Reading: Chainlink Breaks 3-Month High Amid Record 2025 Enthusiasm According to ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, Ether ETFs alone posted roughly $17 billion in weekly volume, a figure that surprised many after months of quiet. The spike has pushed trading desks to rethink how fast money can flow into these funds. Ether ETFs Record Big Volume Reports have disclosed that spot Ether ETFs not only logged about $17 billion in weekly trading volume, but also saw a record single-day net inflow of $1 billion. Across the first two weeks of August, the funds pulled in more than $3 billion. According to Balchunas, it was almost as if the Ether ETFs were in hibernation mode for 11 months and then crammed one year’s worth of activity into six weeks. That phrase captured how suddenly demand arrived. Spot Bitcoin + Ether ETFs did about $40b in volume this week, biggest week ever for them, thanks to Ether ETFs stepping up big. Massive number, equiv to a Top 5 ETF or Top 10 stock’s volume. pic.twitter.com/Z89uV63A3w — Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) August 15, 2025 Price Peaks And Quick Pullbacks Based on market data, Bitcoin hit a headline-making high of $124,000 on Thursday, while Ether came within nearly 2.1% of its November 2021 high by reaching $4,787, CoinMarketCap data shows. The highs did not stick. Since Thursday, Bitcoin has fallen over 5% from that peak and was trading around $117,648, while Ether dropped 6.15% and sat near $4,475. Short swings like these are common when excitement and fresh flows meet thin liquidity. Comparisons To The Bitcoin ETF Run Analysts are drawing parallels to last year’s Bitcoin ETF rush. Reports point out that Bitcoin ETFs reached new highs of $73,680 just two months after launching in January 2024. MN Trading Capital founder Michael van de Poppe said, “There’s way more to come for this cycle.” That view reflects optimism among some traders that ETFs can keep driving prices higher across crypto markets. Related Reading: Trump Coin Jumps 10% On Canary Capital ETF Filing: Details Caution From Market Watchers At the same time, some market watchers warn that a fresh all-time high for Ether could still be weeks or months away. Flows can be volatile. Big one-day inflows can move markets quickly, but they can also reverse just as fast when traders take profits or shift strategies. If Ether funds keep bringing in large sums beyond the first two weeks of August, the move looks more durable. If not, the big numbers could turn out to be a short-lived spike. Based on reports and market behavior so far, ETFs are clearly a major near-term driver for both Bitcoin and Ether. The story is still unfolding. Some expect more gains; others urge patience. Either way, the sudden rush into Ether ETFs has made this chapter one of the busiest in recent crypto trading history. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView

The global financial system is on the verge of a seismic shift. A prominent figure in the financial institution believes that tokenized assets could grow into a $100 trillion market in the coming years. As tokenization expands, Ethereum is positioned to become the foundation of a new, faster, and more accessible global financial system. Ethereum As The Settlement Layer For Global Finance In an X post, CryptoGucci shared a clip of SharpLink Gaming (SBET) Co-CEO Joseph Chalom outlining his bullish outlook for Ethereum, while forecasting a financial tectonic shift. According to Chalom’s statement, the tokenized assets will surge to a staggering $100 trillion in market cap, and Ethereum will be the financial backbone keeping it all moving. Related Reading: Are Ethereum Treasury Companies A Threat To Bitcoin? Michael Saylor Reveals His Stance Chalom also mentioned that the new asset class won’t be limited to niche crypto tokens. It will encompass everything from stablecoins to traditional funds, and real-world assets (RWAs), which will grow into $100 trillion market cap. The defining features of this revolution will be programmable, decentralized, and 24/7 global accessibility, all of which demand a neutral, trusted, and always available ecosystem. For Chalom, the answer is obvious, and that layer is Ethereum.  The network’s unmatched developer ecosystem, battle-tested security, and thriving DeFi infrastructure make it the natural backbone for a programmable, multi-trillion-dollar global economy. Such a development will rejuvenate and drive the growth of ETH. According to the CEO, SharpLink’s mission is aligned with that vision. The company aims to drive adoption, build market awareness, and aggressively accumulate ETH for its shareholders, while positioning itself as one of the dominant ETH treasuries in existence. Overall, Chalom’s comments about Ethereum’s prospects underscore how the network is becoming the bedrock of a $100 trillion global transformation, and a future where every asset, every payment rail, every settlement flows through the ETH network. This isn’t just a shift in technology; it is the rewiring of the global financial system. Futures Market Shows ETH’s Increasing Market Maturity As Ethereum continues to expand its role in DeFi, staking, and tokenized assets, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Ethereum futures have smashed records, signaling institutional confidence. An analyst known as CryptoBusy has revealed on X that July was a historic month for ETH futures on CME, with trading volume hitting an all-time high of $118 billion, which is the largest ever recorded.  Related Reading: Ethereum CME Gap Threatens Recovery, Why A Crash To $4,080 Is Possible While the CME futures exploded to new heights, ETH’s open interest also witnessed a notable increase. This highlights a shift in market behavior as institutions are chasing short-term gains and also positioning themselves for bigger, longer-term moves ahead, signaling growing confidence in ETH as a strategic asset.

The Ethereum price has struggled to keep up with the rapid acceleration of Bitcoin over the years, failing to put in a new all-time high despite Bitcoin crossing $120,000. However, with a turn toward altcoins, Ethereum has quickly become the center of attention, especially after ETH crossed the $4,000 level. Now, as interest balloons, expectations for how high the Ethereum price could go have expanded, with many expecting 5-figures soon. Why Ethereum Price Is Headed For $15,00 In an X (formerly Twitter) post, popular crypto analyst Rekt Fencer predicted that the Ethereum price was “programmed” to reach the $15,000 mark. As for why he believes that the altcoin would climb this high, he highlights five major developments that will be the defining trigger for the Ethereum price to reach $15,000. Related Reading: Ethereum CME Gap Threatens Recovery, Why A Crash To $4,080 Is Possible The first thing on the list is the fact that ETH buying has been ramping up among institutions lately. For example, Ethereum treasury companies have sprung up in the last year, with the likes of Bitmine and SharpLink leading the charge. With ETH quickly becoming the cryptocurrency of choice for these large investors, over $10 billion worth of ETH has been bought by these companies in less than three years. Next on the list is the fact that US President Donald Trump is a major Ethereum holder. The president, who is hailed as the first pro-crypto president of the United States, currently holds over $500 million worth of ETH. This means that the majority of the president’s crypto wealth is actually in Ethereum. Another major factor driving up the value of the Ethereum price is the heightened interest in Spot Ethereum ETFs. As buying of Spot Ethereum ETFs has ramped up, so have their total holdings. According to data from the CoinMarketCap website, Spot ETH ETF issuers now control a whopping $19 billion in AUM, which translates to 3.76% of the total Ethereum market cap. Related Reading: Brace For Impact: Bitcoin Price Could Crash To $110,000 Amid Signs Of Exhaustion Fourth on the list is the proliferation of pro-crypto laws such as the GENIUS Act that was passed this month. This has made it easier for institutional investors to move into Ethereum and driven up buying during this time. Then the fifth point is the fact that staking for Spot Ethereum ETFs is coming. While this is yet to be approved, there have been multiple filings by Spot Ethereum ETFs to allow ETH staking for the funds. This means that if this is approved, then these funds would end up locking a large number of their ETH holdings in order to enjoy yield from staking.

Ethereum price started a downside correction from the $4,780 zone. ETH is again rising from $4,480 and might attempt a steady increase. Ethereum started a fresh increase above the $4,520 and $4,550 levels. The price is trading above $4,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bullish trend line forming with support at $4,500 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could continue to move up if it remains supported above the $4,500 zone in the near term. Ethereum Price Dips Remains Attractive Ethereum price started a fresh increase above the $4,600 support zone, beating Bitcoin. ETH price was able to climb above the $4,650 and $4,700 resistance levels. The bulls even pushed the price above the $4,720 resistance zone. Finally, the price tested the $4,780 resistance zone. A high was formed at $4,782 and the price recently corrected gains below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $4,170 swing low to the $4,782 high. However, the bulls were active near the $4,480 support. They protected the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $4,170 swing low to the $4,782 high. The price is again rising and showing positive signs. Ethereum price is now trading above $4,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a bullish trend line forming with support at $4,500 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $4,640 level. The next key resistance is near the $4,680 level. The first major resistance is near the $4,720 level. A clear move above the $4,720 resistance might send the price toward the $4,780 resistance. An upside break above the $4,780 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,880 resistance zone or even $5,000 in the near term. Another Pullback In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,700 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $4,550 level. The first major support sits near the $4,500 zone. A clear move below the $4,500 support might push the price toward the $4,400 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $4,315 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $4,250. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is losing momentum in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is now above the 50 zone. Major Support Level – $4,500 Major Resistance Level – $4,700

According to Fundstrat research, Ether could climb much higher before the end of 2025, with price targets ranging from $10,000 to as high as $15,000. Related Reading: Dogecoin Draws New Attention As Open Interest Tops $3 Billion Reports show Ether jumped about 60% over the past 30 days and hit a four-year high near $4,770 in early trading, while other coverage put the token at $4,694 and noted a 78% surge over an eight-week stretch. Those moves have pushed Ether close to its all-time peak, and fund managers are taking notice. Fundstrat Targets And Rationale According to Fundstrat’s chief information officer Tom Lee and head of digital asset research Sean Farrell, institutional forces and new rules are key drivers. They point to stablecoin work and tokenized projects being built mostly on Ethereum, and they cite regulatory efforts such as the GENIUS Act and the SEC’s so-called Project Crypto as factors that could speed Wall Street’s move onto blockchain rails. Based on data, Ethereum holds a commanding 55% share of the $25 billion real-world asset tokenization sector, a stat that Fundstrat uses to argue for broader institutional adoption. Institutional Demand And Big Buyers Reports have disclosed large-scale corporate accumulation that several analysts say is taking supply off the market. BitMine Immersion Technologies has reportedly added about 1.2 million ETH since early July, leaving the company with roughly $5.5 billion worth of Ether on its books. Company stock (BMNR) has been volatile, with some coverage pointing to a 1,300% jump over a short period. Fundstrat and other observers say those kinds of corporate treasuries, combined with fresh ETF flows, could create a structural bid for ETH if the buying is sustained. Rachael Lucas, a crypto analyst at BTC Markets, described these positions as strategic and long-term, saying they remove “substantial liquidity” from trading pools. Market Momentum And Price Claims According to Fundstrat, Ether is outperforming Bitcoin this year. One set of figures put ETH’s year-to-date gain at 28% against Bitcoin’s 18%, while other reports more recently showed ETH up 41% YTD and Bitcoin up 30% YTD, with BTC trading near $121,000 in that snapshot. Based on reports, Fundstrat’s analysts view ETH as a major macro trade for the next 10 to 15 years if institutional and regulatory trends continue to push demand higher. Analysts caution that lofty targets will need sustained, large inflows to become reality. Watch for the pace and consistency of ETF flows, corporate treasury disclosures, and any regulatory moves around stablecoins and custody rules. Related Reading: Solana Strategy: Nasdaq Firm Taps Arthur Hayes For Advisory Role There’s also a practical concern: big, concentrated buys can tighten markets quickly but may also reverse if sentiment shifts or liquidity needs change. According to analysis and public comments from Fundstrat, the bullish case for Ether is clear and backed by specific numbers: $10,000 to $15,000 targets, corporate treasuries holding millions of ETH, and rapid recent gains.

SharpLink is rapidly positioning itself as a leader in corporate Ethereum holdings. The company is accelerating its accumulation strategy at unprecedented speed. Combined with its existing ETH holdings, the company might be on track to outpace every other ETH treasury holder in both speed and scale. Why SharpLink’s Ethereum Strategy Could Redefine Corporate Treasuries In an X post, CryptoGucci shared a short clip of Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin’s recent remarks about SharpLink Gaming. Lubin believes that the company isn’t just participating in the race, but it’s about to lap the competition. Related Reading: Ethereum Treasury Companies Go Head To Head As Bitmine Dwarfs SharpLink — Details According to Lubin, SharpLink Gaming (SBET) has rapidly emerged as one of the largest ETH accumulators on the planet, leveraging a strategy that goes far beyond simply holding ETH. The company actively manages its treasury to maximize productivity through staking, restaking, and compounding into some of the most powerful DeFi yield opportunities available. What sets SharpLink apart is its direct backing from the ETH company itself, which is a massive advantage that few competitors can claim. This relationship provides strategic alignment, insider insight, and access to key infrastructure, positioning SharpLink to move faster and more efficiently than any other treasury operator.  The company is managed by some of the best DeFi investors in the world, combining institutional discipline with native crypto expertise. SharpLink’s approach is straightforward yet powerful. The process involves accumulating more ETH than anyone else, deploying it intelligently across high-yield opportunities, and generating steady returns while compounding for the long term. Why Ethereum Is Emerging As The Institutional Protocol Ethereum is gaining mainstream recognition at the institutional level. CryptoGucci has also shared a post where Cathie Wood, the founder and CIO of ARK Invest, laid out a bullish case for why Ethereum is becoming the institutional protocol of choice, which has captured the attention of the crypto and institutional investment communities.   Related Reading: Ethereum Surpasses MasterCard In Asset Rankings, Bullish Targets Set Wood highlighted that major infrastructure developments are signaling ETH dominance. Coinbase L2 is built on ETH, Robinhood L2 leverages ETH, and the ongoing stablecoin that is predominantly occurring on the ETH network. Unlike Bitcoin treasuries, ETH treasuries offer both utility and staking opportunities, while creating a more productive institutional asset. ETH may carry slightly higher costs and operate at a slower speed than some alternatives, but its decentralization and security make it the most resilient and reliable choice for institutional adoption. This foundational robustness is enabling ARK ETFs to take their first substantial positions in ETH, while marking a pivotal moment for institutional adoption. ARK has also strategically invested in Tom Lee’s BitMine (BMNR), which is currently the largest ETH treasury in the world, while signaling an alignment between traditional investment strategies and Ethereum-based infrastructure. Wood concluded that the foundation of the next financial system is being laid out in real time, and it’s all happening on ETH. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

For much of late 2024 and early 2025, many in the crypto world believed XRP could overtake Ethereum in market capitalization. The belief grew after XRP’s powerful rally late last year, which saw it outperform most major coins while Ethereum struggled to hold key price levels.  At the time, market analysts were confident the gap between the two would soon close. Now, one of the most vocal supporters of the flippening, a popular analyst known as Charting Guy, has reversed his position and says it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Analyst Backtracks On XRP Flippening Ethereum Prediction Charting Guy pointed to the period between November 2024 and January 2025, when XRP surged nearly 600%, while ETH barely moved and even dropped to lows of $1,385 in April. During that time, XRP’s price strength and rapid market cap growth, increasing about seven times in just weeks, led many to believe it could become the top altcoin. Related Reading: The Grand Bitcoin Roadmap: Crypto Expert Says $160,000 Still In The Works However, in a post this week, Charting Guy admitted, “that is no longer the case.” He explained that he re-entered Ethereum in April, near its lows, and since then, ETH has shown “immense strength.” As of today, Ethereum is trading just 10% below its all-time high of $4,891, reaching $4,784 earlier in the day. Its current price of $4,736 marks a 239% increase from its April low. The surge pushed Ethereum’s market cap to $572 billion, compared to XRP’s $193 billion. The gap between them, now more than $368 billion, has grown significantly since July 13, when it was under $200 billion. Charting Guy says Ethereum’s strong performance has made a flippening far less realistic, at least in the near term. Ethereum’s Strength Leaves XRP Playing Catch-Up In the past four weeks alone, ETH has jumped 52%, while XRP’s growth has largely stalled. Even if XRP were to rise 2.5 times from its current price of $3.22 to roughly $8, its market value would be around $477 billion, still far short of Ethereum’s current level. Related Reading: Raoul Pal Says He’s Been Long XRP For 4 Years After Calling It A “Moron” Trade Charting Guy also pointed out that for XRP to match Ethereum’s current market cap, it would need to reach $9.30, and that’s assuming ETH stops moving entirely while XRP rallies 3x. In his view, that scenario is “rather unlikely.” He warned against listening to “moon boys” who push unrealistic XRP price targets while ignoring Ethereum’s continued strength. Instead, he advises investors to hold both assets, arguing that being too focused on one coin leaves traders exposed if the market moves in a different direction. He stressed that Ethereum’s strong rally was overdue, as it had been playing catch-up to Bitcoin for most of the season. What once seemed like a real possibility now appears distant as Ethereum gains momentum. While XRP still has room to grow, it’s clear that Ethereum is not standing still, making the race between them more one-sided for now. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

After an incredible rally that has put Ethereum on the path to possible new all-time highs, the altcoin is now facing something that could hinder its newfound path. This comes down to a CME gap that had formed on its way up, and historically, CME gaps tend to be filled before there is a bullish continuation. In this case, the CME gap is sitting almost 15% below its current price, and could mean that ETH is in for a crash. The CME Gap Waiting At $4,080 A crypto analyst has pointed out that the Ethereum price could be facing heavy resistance after rallying to levels not seen since 2021. There is also the formation of a CME gap that threatens to drag the price back down before the bullish rally can continue. Related Reading: Analyst Says What Happened With Bitcoin Is About To Happen With XRP The first of these is the resistance that is currently forming at around the $4,868 zone. This is the previous all-time high levels, so naturally, bears are beginning to mount pressure at this point that could ultimately lead to a price rejection. There is also a potential reversal zone skirting around the $4,680 area as well. The CME Gap is sitting very low at the $4,185-$4,080, suggesting that the price could retrace to this level to close the gap. If this happens, then late long positions could be trapped as the correction plays out, before reversing toward its all-time high levels once more. Interestingly, the analyst also points out the fact that the Ethereum price seems to be playing out the Elliot Wave Theory. According to the analysis, Ethereum is actually playing out a microwave 5 in the meantime. What this suggests is that the current uptrend is only the start, and that the main Wave 5 is yet to begin. Related Reading: 4-Year Cycle Says Dogecoin Price Will Reach $1, Here’s Why Using the Elliot Wave Theory, Wave 5 is expected to be the final wave before the bear market. However, it is a major wave that has historically led to new all-time highs. If the bullish momentum does continue, then Ethereum could end up crossing the $5,000 level in quick succession. There is also the possibility of a deeper correction if bulls fail to maintain control above $4,000. The analyst points out that another CME gap is left to be filled as low as $3,417-$3,461. But if the price is able to cross toward $4,800, this would be invalidated. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Ethereum price found support near the $4,500 zone and started a fresh surge. ETH is rising and might soon aim for a move above the $4,750 zone. Ethereum started a fresh increase above the $4,550 and $4,650 levels. The price is trading above $4,600 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bullish trend line forming with support at $4,480 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it remains supported above the $4,400 zone in the near term. Ethereum Price Rallies Further Ethereum price started a fresh increase from the $4,180 support zone, beating Bitcoin. ETH price was able to climb above the $4,500 and $4,650 resistance levels. The bulls even pushed the price above the $4,700 resistance zone. Finally, the price tested the $4,780 resistance zone. A high was formed at $4,782 and the price is now consolidating gains above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $4,170 swing low to the $4,782 high. Ethereum price is now trading above $4,700 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a bullish trend line forming with support at $4,480 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $4,780 level. The next key resistance is near the $4,840 level. The first major resistance is near the $4,880 level. A clear move above the $4,880 resistance might send the price toward the $4,950 resistance. An upside break above the $4,950 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $5,000 resistance zone or even $5,150 in the near term. Are Dips Limited In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,780 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $4,700 level. The first major support sits near the $4,650 zone. A clear move below the $4,650 support might push the price toward the $4,550 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $4,480 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $4,350. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is gaining momentum in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is now above the 50 zone.

Ethereum is closing in on a historic test, hovering just 6.4% below its all-time high of $4,891. Despite persistent sell-offs from retail traders, the asset’s upward momentum continues, signaling a potential breakthrough that could set the stage for new record levels. Retail Sentiment Misfires: Lessons From Past Greed And Corrections Santiment, a popular platform in on-chain and market analytics, recently highlighted in a post that Ethereum is now within striking distance of a historic milestone — just 6.4% away from its all-time high of $4,891 set on November 16, 2021.  Related Reading: Ethereum Price Breaks Toward $5,000, Analyst Reveals When To Sell Everything And Why This approach toward record territory has been accompanied by a surprising trend: retail traders are consistently selling off their holdings even as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap pushes higher. The divergence between price action and retail sentiment is becoming increasingly notable in this rally. When smaller market participants become overly optimistic, prices tend to cool off; conversely, when fear and skepticism prevail, the market often continues its upward march. This pattern has played out multiple times in the past, making the current wave of selling from retail traders a potentially bullish signal. Santiment also pointed to previous scenarios to support this observation. On June 16, 2025, and again on July 30, 2025, Ethereum experienced periods of extreme retail greed, which were followed by sharp corrections as the market recalibrated. These historical instances underline the contrarian nature of market psychology, where excessive optimism can precede pullbacks, while disbelief and hesitation can pave the way for price growth. In the current rally, retail sentiment has been marked by FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) and disbelief. Despite Ethereum consistently printing higher highs, many traders remain convinced that the move is unsustainable.  Loose Coins Changing Hands as Ethereum Eyes Historic Breakout This emotional disconnect between sentiment and price action may be providing fuel for Ethereum’s continued ascent, as stronger hands — particularly institutional players and large-scale investors — absorb the supply being offloaded by smaller traders. If the current dynamics persist, a break above $4,891 could happen sooner than many expect, potentially marking a significant chapter in Ethereum’s market history  The platform further noted that major stakeholders have been actively accumulating Ethereum, taking advantage of the coins that smaller traders are currently willing to sell. This quiet but steady accumulation suggests that larger players are positioning themselves for a potential breakout. Related Reading: Ethereum Rally Not Fueled By Bitcoin Dump, On-Chain Signals Show With minimal sentiment-based resistance in the market, prices appear well-positioned to push higher. If this trend continues, Ethereum could break through its previous all-time high and set new records in the near future, marking a historic moment for the asset.

A math-based scenario is getting attention in markets this week. According to experts, Ether’s market value has historically moved to about 30–35% of Bitcoin’s market cap during major bull runs. Related Reading: Ethereum Faith Fading? Samson Mow Says Holders Will Shift To Bitcoin If Bitcoin climbs to $150,000 from its current price of $119,250, that ratio would put Ether near $8,656 at the top end of the model. At the time of writing, Ether was up 8% in a 24-hour price move, hitting $4,630 for new weekly high. Bitcoin was up a percent, and slowly closing in the key $120,000 region, data from Coingecko shows, According to an analysis by trader Yashasedu a lower range of ratios — between close to 22% and 30% — would put Ether between $5,370 and $7,400 if Bitcoin does reach $150,000. Market Cap Math And The Upside Case According to the trader’s logic, the calculation is simple: pick a BTC price, multiply by BTC supply for market cap, then apply a chosen ETH/BTC market-cap ratio and divide by ETH supply to get an ETH price. In major bull runs, $ETH typically hits 30-35% of Bitcoin’s mcap. 2017: ~35% 2021: ~36% We’re seeing similar setup now???? > TVL on @ethereum crossed $90B after 2022 > Institutions buy billions of dollars worth of $ETH > Billions of dollars of ETF inflow > Stocks transitioning… pic.twitter.com/xuaCOAfw9P — YashasEdu (@YashasEdu) August 10, 2025 Yashasedu notes that in 2021 Ether climbed to about 36% of Bitcoin’s market cap, which is why the 30–35% range is getting cited now. Reports have disclosed that institutional flows and growing ETF demand for Ether are part of the reason some traders expect the pattern to repeat. Flows, Treasury Buys, And TVL Based on reports, spot Ether ETFs recorded a single-day inflow of $1 billion recently — the biggest day so far — and TVL on Ethereum has topped $90 billion, figures that supporters point to as proof demand is rising. Several well-known market voices have put out higher Bitcoin targets that feed into these scenarios. Tom Lee, Arthur Hayes, and Joe Burnett have forecasted Bitcoin could reach as high as $250,000 by the end of 2025. MN Trading Capital founder Michaël van de Poppe has said that we’ll likely see a new ATH for ETH and then some consolidation. Those calls are opinions, and traders use them to build scenarios rather than certainties.

According to one price prediction, Ethereum is expected to rise about 10% to reach $5,125 by September 12, 2025. Ether recorded 20 out of 30 green days recently, a 67% run of positive days, and about 8.33% price volatility over the last 30 days. These numbers feed both the bullish story and the case for caution. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

SharpLink Gaming is solidifying its position as one of the world’s largest corporate holders of Ethereum, announcing a landmark of $400 million registered direct offering secured through partnerships with five major institutional investors. This move underscores the growing confidence institutional players have in ETH’s long-term potential and its aggressive accumulation strategy. Institutional Backing Pushes SharpLink Toward $3 Billion Milestone SharpLink Gaming has announced a $400 million registered direct offering agreement with five global institutional investors, which includes some of the largest in the world. The agreement marks one of the company’s most significant funding deals to date, bolstering its capital reserves and signaling strong institutional confidence in its growth strategy. Related Reading: Are Ethereum Treasury Companies A Threat To Bitcoin? Michael Saylor Reveals His Stance This capital injection adds to its unused $200 million at-the-market (ATM) facility, giving the company a powerful liquidity arsenal. In addition to these funding streams, SharpLink currently holds approximately 598,800 ETH in its treasury, and the company’s ETH holdings are expected to exceed an estimated $3 billion in value with the latest move. While SharpLink entered an agreement with investors to boost its ETH reserve, BitMine Immersion is also aggressively buying Ethereum. A recent report revealed that the company has become the largest ETH treasury in the world, holding more than 1,000,000 ETH in corporate reserves. The firm’s treasury now sits at a remarkable 1.15 million ETH, valued at approximately $4.96 billion at current market prices. Meanwhile, the scale and speed of this accumulation are unprecedented. In just over a month, the company has expanded its holdings from 163,000 ETH to more than a million, with a bold goal to stake 5% of the entire ETH supply. “In just a week, BitMine increased its ETH holdings by $2.0 billion to $4.96 billion (from 833,137 to 1.15 million tokens), lightning speed in the company’s pursuit of the ‘alchemy of 5%’ of ETH,”  Thomas “Tom” Lee of Fundstrat, Chairman of BitMine’s Board of Directors, stated. How Ethereum Delivers Security And Alignment In an X post, BitDigital_BTBT emphasized that the company does not consider Ethereum a hedge, but the foundation of their entire investment strategy. The firm regards ETH as the most productive, secure, and aligned asset in the world, uniquely positioned to drive the future of finance.

Currently, Bit Digital holds over 120,00 ETH, but this is just the beginning. Specifically, their boldness is fueled by a deep conviction in ETH’s potential to transform the world of finance and beyond. The company believes that no other blockchain and technology platform comes close to matching ETH’s ability to reprogram finance. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum’s price trajectory has taken on a decisively bullish tone with its movement in the past 24 hours. Now, technical patterns are pointing to the possibility of a rally that would not only push it past its current all-time high of $4,878, but also carry it to as high as $8,500.  A recent analysis by TradingView analyst melikatrader94 points to the formation of a Right-Angle Broadening Formation (RABF) on the daily candlestick chart, a rare but powerful continuation setup that has been in play since March 2024. The Mechanics Of Ethereum’s Current Bull Run Ethereum’s price action in the past few days has been very notable in terms of bullishness. The leading altcoin is currently up by 20% and 45% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. This powerful upswing has pushed Ethereum to its highest price point since the peaks of the 2021 bull market. Related Reading: Pundit Says Ethereum Price Is Headed For $9,000 After This Broadening Wedge Retest According to the technical analysis in question, which was initially shared by melikatrader94 on the TradingView platform, Ethereum is now playing out the last phase of an RABF pattern that has dragged on for many months. This RABF pattern is characterized by a horizontal resistance zone, now situated between $4,200 and $4,300, and a downward-sloping support trendline, which indicates that buyers are becoming increasingly aggressive with each pullback to reach the resistance again.  The last time Ethereum bounced off this support trendline was in early April 2025, when it reached a low of $1,470. Since then, it has increased by about 194% up until the time of writing, where it is now attempting to break above the upper trendline. Price Target And What Needs To Happen According to the measured move principle, the breakout target is derived from the pattern’s vertical height, which is roughly $2,070. Adding this vertical height to the breakout level at $4,300 results in an initial price objective of $6,370. However, a strong bullish momentum beyond that milestone would see Ethereum extend its rally to as high as $8,500.

According to the analyst, this would set off a rapid advance with only a brief consolidation near the $5,100 mark before resuming its upward move. On the other hand, support levels to watch are at $3,700, then $3,200 in case Ethereum fails to hold above $4,300 and extend its rally. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,320, up by 1.1% in the past 24 hours. Interestingly, this move has seen Ethereum outperforming other top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana, which are down by 2.2%, 3.5%, and 4% in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin and Ethereum prices began to rally over the weekend, and interestingly, ETH was able to beat the $4,000 level for the first time in eight months. Bitcoin also recovered from its crash below $113,000 the previous week, taking the rest of the crypto market with it. Naturally, the reversal to bullish sentiment has brought investors out of the woodwork, with predictions now circling for where both Bitcoin and Ethereum prices are headed. Bitcoin To $150,000 And Ethereum To $8,000 Ex-Wall Street trader Vivek Raman has shared a prediction that has reignited hope once again in crypto investors. This comes after a notable weekend rally and the possibility of Bitcoin and Ethereum reaching brand-new all-time highs soon. Despite this already impressive rally, Raman does not believe that the move is over, sharing a near-term prediction for both cryptocurrencies. Related Reading: Bitcoin Nears $120,000 Again As El Salvador Opens Bitcoin Banks In the post, the pundit uses the ETHBTC chart, which has been on fire lately, to predict where both digital assets are headed next. Raman was responding to another crypto analyst, Pentoshi, who believes the ETHBTC chart was headed to 0.055 after moving above 0.036. Breaking this down, Raman explains that reaching this level would mean that the Ethereum price would be at $8,250 per coin, pushing it to a $1 trillion market cap. Amid this, he believes that the Bitcoin price could hit as high as $150,000 in the near term, making the likelihood of ETH touching $8,000 higher. The push for Ethereum to hit $8,000 comes amid ETH treasury companies gaining ground recently. Raman suggests that investors could rotate from Bitcoin treasury companies into ETH, triggering a Wall Street run on Ethereum. Looking at the longer timeframe, Raman forecasts that the Bitcoin price could hit as high as $250,000. At the same time, the Ethereum price is expected to hit $25,000, which would put the ETH market cap at a whopping $3 trillion market cap while Bitcoin moves in on a $10 trillion market cap. BTC And ETH Getting Big Predictions Raman is not the only crypto pundit who has shared major predictions for the Bitcoin and Ethereum prices recently. According to a report from Bitcoinist, another analyst Fapital has shared where they expect both Bitcoin and Ethereum to be by 2032. Related Reading: XRP Price Could Explode To $3.8 Amid Trend Continuation Fapital puts the Bitcoin price as high as $889,969, with Ethereum as high as $28,000 during this time. While both predictions span between shorter and longer timeframes, there is a similarity in the exception that the Ethereum price will eventually cross the $20,000 target.

Ethereum (ETH) has extended its bullish run, surging past $4,300 and posting a staggering 45% gain over the past month. The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency now eyes the $5,000 milestone, triggered by unprecedented whale accumulation, institutional inflows, and a wave of regulatory clarity in the U.S. Related Reading: Ethereum Bullish Fundamentals Clash With Short-Term Leverage Risks In just the past four weeks, over $4.17 billion has flowed into Ethereum-focused investment products, with entities like Galaxy Digital, FalconX, and BitGo facilitating large-scale purchases. One “mysterious institution” reportedly acquired 221,166 ETH worth nearly $1 billion in a single week, signaling long-term confidence at elevated prices. Whale Buying and Institutional Inflows Strengthen Ethereum (ETH)’s Bullish Case Whale addresses holding more than 10,000 ETH have climbed to their highest level in a year, while public companies added 304,000 ETH ($1.3B) to their treasuries last week alone. Notably, BitMine Immersion Technologies accounted for $900 million of these purchases. Ethereum spot ETFs have also recorded significant inflows, with $327 million added in just the first week of August. Analysts note that the combination of whale activity and institutional buying has historically preceded major rallies, and with ETH breaking above the stubborn $4,000 resistance for the first time since 2021, market sentiment remains firmly bullish. ETH's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: ETHUSD on Tradingview  Regulatory Clarity and Network Growth Add Fuel to the Rally Recent U.S. regulatory developments have removed key uncertainties from the crypto market. The White House’s new digital asset framework, the Ripple-SEC case resolution, and President Donald Trump’s executive order allowing crypto in retirement accounts have boosted Ethereum’s legitimacy in traditional finance.

The ETH/BTC ratio has also climbed to near yearly highs, indicating a shift in market preference toward Ethereum. Bottom Line If ETH can break the $4,430 resistance, its previous all-time high of $4,860 is within reach. From there, bullish projections point to $5,000 and even $6,500 in 2025. While short-term corrections remain possible, the structural trend suggests Ethereum may be entering a new phase of price discovery. Cover image from ChatGPT, ETHUSD chart from Tradingview

Ethereum has surged more than 20% to firmly reclaim the $4,200 price level for the first time since 2021. This interesting move has come off the back of Ethereum’s steady inch higher, and $5,000 could now be the next major psychological barrier. However, while the bullish narrative is currently dominant, a technical analysis posted by crypto trader Orbion suggests that this rally may have an expiration date. The Road To Euphoria And A Full Exit Plan Ethereum’s price action over the past week has seen it outperform many cryptocurrencies, and confidence is steadily returning to the leading altcoin. However, Orbion took to the social media platform X to share that he had already sold 33% of his Ethereum holdings, and the best time to fully exit every Ethereum position is in the next two months.  Related Reading: Pundit Says Ethereum Price Is Headed For $9,000 After This Broadening Wedge Retest His post was accompanied by a well-known cheat sheet on market cycles. According to the sheet, Ethereum’s current position is in the Optimism and Ethereum dominance phase. The Optimism phase is the point in a rally when market participants begin to believe that the uptrend is truly sustainable.  Notably, the chart’s projection is a climb to the Market Peak/Euphoria phase by the end of October 2025. It is at this point that traders can expect an extreme overvaluation and a looming downturn. Drawing similarities to similar patterns in 2017 and 2021, Orbion stated that his plan is to sell the remainder of his ETH holdings by October 31, although the price will start tapering off in late September. Projecting Ethereum’s Next Move According to the projection on the chart above, Ethereum still has a long way to go before it reaches a defined peak. That is to say, there’s a high possibility that Ethereum could finally break above its 2021 all-time high of $4,878. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Crash Or Rebound? Why $4,000 Holds The Key It will be interesting to see how the Ethereum price rally plays out in the next two months before it reaches a new peak. Based on the cheat sheet, Ethereum could see its most aggressive price acceleration in the weeks leading up to Halloween on October 31. This final leg of the rally will be driven by euphoria-fueled buying, where investors feel unstoppable and certain of a continued rally, much like the 2021 cycle. Even if Ethereum were to start crashing by late October, its current trajectory suggests it could break $5,000 before it reaches a new peak. Notably, Orbion’s short-term target for ETH is in the $5,800 to $6,000 range if momentum continues.  Technical analyses show Ethereum price targets ranging from $4,800 to as high as $12,000. According to a technical analysis from crypto analyst Titan of Crypto, Ethereum is currently tracing out the same pattern as Bitcoin in 2020 and is on a path to reach $12,000. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,270, up by 20.5% in the past seven days. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

The Ethereum (ETH) market has unlocked another wave of bullish momentum after decisively breaking above the long-standing resistance at the $4,000 level. The most prominent altcoin now trades around $4,200, representing an estimated 180% gain from market lows of $1,500 in May 2025. Looking forward, a market analyst with the username CryptoOnChain unveils a potential price trajectory for Ethereum, detailing both short- and long-term outlooks for the asset. Related Reading: Ethereum Exchange Balances Decline To 18.8M ETH: Smart Money Drains Supply On-Chain Data Shows ETH Long-Term Bullish, Short-Term Vulnerable In a QuickTake post on CryptoQuant, CryptoOnChain shares insights on Ethereum’s future price movement based on recent exchange activity. The digital asset analyst notes that after rallying from the $2,400 zone, ETH has climbed to around $4,215, just shy of the strong $4,400 resistance level that has historically acted as a significant supply barrier. While momentum indicators such as the MACD and buying volume remain positive, the approach toward this resistance is accompanied by potential for near-term selling pressure. Meanwhile, CryptoOnChain also reveals that on-chain exchange metrics reveal a divergence between broader market behavior and activity specific to Binance. Notably, Ethereum’s Exchange Supply Ratio (ESR) across all exchanges has recorded a steady decline since 2022, now standing at approximately 0.16. This development suggests that investors are steadily moving ETH off trading platforms, thereby reducing sell-side liquidity and strengthening the market confidence in the asset’s long-term price outlook. However, Binance’s ESR has been climbing since early 2025, now hovering near 0.04. This localized increase indicates that some ETH holders are moving coins back into Binance, potentially for short-term profit taking, arbitrage opportunities, or to participate in exchange-specific programs. Adding to the cautious tone, Binance’s exchange netflow has recently seen a notable surge in positive inflows, as Ethereum nears key resistance at $4,400, signifying potential intent to sell. The combination of these metrics paints a picture of long-term strength but short-term vulnerability for the Ethereum market. From a macro standpoint, the ongoing decline in the all-exchange ESR points to a healthier supply-demand balance for ETH. However, the localized buildup of ETH on Binance, which is the world’s largest exchange, coupled with heightened net inflows, suggests that sellers may be preparing to take profits in the immediate term. Related Reading: Cardano Price Prediction: Why A 52% Rally To $1.20 Could Happen Soon Ethereum Price Forecast At press time, Ethereum trades at $4,230, reflecting a 4.62% gain in the last day. However, the asset’s daily trading volume has declined by 12.08%.  Considering the current ESR report, CryptoOnChain outlines two scenarios. In a bullish scenario, a swift drop in Binance net inflows or a leveling off in the exchange’s ESR could open the door for ETH to push decisively past the $4,400 mark, with $4,800 as the next price target amidst the possibility of revisiting all-time highs. Conversely, if strong inflows into Binance persist and the price fails to clear $4,400, ETH could face a short-term pullback, potentially retracing to the $3,950–$4,000 support zone before mounting another breakout attempt.

Ethereum’s most recent price rally has eroded Bitcoin’s dominance, representing one of the steeper movements in the crypto space in recent months. Related Reading: Ethereum Hits $4,300, Restoring Vitalik Buterin’s Crypto Billionaire Status Though both assets have registered growth, US President Donald Trump’s long-time crypto skeptic, Peter Schiff, made it plain which one he would retain in case he were forced — and it isn’t Ethereum. ETH Pushes Past $4,000 Amid Strong Activity Ethereum moved past $4,000 in recent trading sessions, reaching a high for 2025. Whale transactions and heavier derivatives trading have been the fuel to this price action, according to reports. Volumes and open interest have also gone up, indicating healthy speculative demand. ETH even surpassed Bitcoin’s percentage appreciation in the previous week, further pushing eagerness up among its fans. Well Ether is up a bit since I recommed switch it into Bitcoin, but I still think the trade will work out. If fact, it was woring well initially, until Ether just rallied late last week. I have no interest in owning either, but if you put a gun to my head, I’d chose Bitcoin. — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) August 9, 2025 Schiff, who is an economist and gold advocate, said Ether’s surge came after he had been recommending investors to transfer their ETH to Bitcoin. Though that tack apparently paid off at first, Ethereum’s late-week surge closed the gap. “I have no interest in owning either, but if you put a gun to my head, I’d pick Bitcoin,” Schiff said on X. Bitcoin Above $100k But Lags Behind In Terms Of Market Share Despite the ETH rally, Bitcoin has kept its position as the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and the most widely adopted by institutions. It is still above $100,000, buoyed by spot Bitcoin ETF inflows and corporate treasury buying. Market share statistics from CoinMarketCap, however, indicate that Bitcoin’s dominance had dropped to 59%, which is 4.90% less from last month. Ethereum’s share has grown to 12%, up 3.25% in the same period. Altcoins combined have increased their slice to 25%, a gain of 1.50%. Abrupt Shift From June Peaks Bitcoin dominance hit an annual high of 65% on June 27, 2025, then retreated during the following weeks. Dominance was at 61% a week ago. The year low hit 53% during December 2024, which means current levels are still much higher than that low but still trending downwards. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is Still King Of Capital Inflows, According To Michael Saylor Ethereum, for its part, has continued to consolidate more, nearing the top of its yearly range. Whether it holds there or not will be a function of institutional positioning, macro trends, and continued trading momentum.
