Ethereum is under pressure after sliding below the $4,200 level, with price now testing the $4,000 support zone. The market is watching closely, as a breakdown here could expose ETH to deeper corrections, while a strong defense may open the door for a rebound. Despite the selling pressure, on-chain signals reveal a strikingly different picture beneath the surface. Related Reading: Bitcoin LTH Selling Pressure Builds: 6–12M Coins Keep Flowing Onto The Market Top analyst Darkfost shared data showing that ETH inflows into accumulator addresses are exploding, signaling long-term conviction even as short-term sentiment wavers. Just yesterday, nearly 400,000 ETH were added to these specialized wallets. More notably, on September 18th, Ethereum saw a historic first when 1.2 million ETH were accumulated in a single day — a record for the network. Accumulator addresses are unique in that they only buy ETH and never sell, making them a reliable proxy for long-term holder behavior. Such massive inflows highlight that large players are strategically building positions, likely tied to institutional adoption and the growing demand for ETH ETFs. Long-Term Conviction Amid Pressure According to Darkfost, Ethereum’s inflows into accumulator addresses mark one of the most important trends developing beneath the surface of current market volatility. He explains that accumulator addresses are wallets that have made at least two ETH transactions without ever selling a single coin. This behavior makes them reliable indicators of long-term holder conviction, since accumulation, not short-term speculation, drives them. Darkfost adds that some of these addresses could be linked to institutional entities offering ETH ETFs, which have seen surging demand recently. The scale of these inflows — with nearly 400K ETH added yesterday and a record 1.2M ETH accumulated on September 18th — points to serious players positioning for the long haul. Still, this comes at a time when Ethereum is facing a critical technical test, hovering around the $4,000 support after losing more than 14% since mid-September. While accumulation shows strong confidence in ETH’s long-term trajectory, the short-term risks remain elevated. Selling pressure, broader market corrections, and macro uncertainty could test investor patience. Ultimately, Darkfost emphasizes that the coming weeks will be decisive: either ETH bulls hold the line and confirm this accumulation as the foundation for a rebound, or pressure deepens into a more prolonged correction.

This marks a sharp 3.2% decline in the last session, continuing the corrective structure that has been developing since early September. The price breached the 12H 50 moving average (blue) and the 100 moving average (green), showing weakening bullish momentum. Price is now hovering just above the 12H 200 moving average (red), which sits near $3,800. This zone represents a crucial line of defense for bulls, as a confirmed breakdown could accelerate selling pressure and open the path toward deeper retracements. Momentum also reflects increasing market fear, as sellers remain in control and meet each bounce attempt with lower highs. Still, holding above $4,000 keeps Ethereum within a potential consolidation range, offering bulls a chance to stabilize before the next move.

However, a daily close below $3,950 would likely confirm further downside pressure, exposing $3,800 and possibly $3,600 as the next targets. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

The world of crypto investing is changing. Companies are shifting from solely token-based assets to more sophisticated, equity-backed exposures. In a bold move, GSR – a well-known crypto market maker – filed for a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) to invest in companies whose corporate treasuries hold digital assets. If approved, this ‘digital asset treasury company’ ETF could provide a new way for investors to gain exposure to crypto without directly owning tokens. GSR Proposes a New Twist GSR’s ETF filing shows that the fund plans to invest at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of publicly traded companies that hold significant digital assets. That’s a reversal of the usual pattern, where digital asset treasuries (DATs) follow a strategy of leveraging stock sales of their own companies to raise funds for purchasing crypto. Then, the same companies use the increase in crypto prices to boost their stock prices, sell more shares to raise additional funds, and buy more crypto, continuing the cycle. The fund is designed to be flexible: it could concentrate on 10 to 15 positions, spanning 5 to 10 issuers, with no strict minimum market cap requirement. It’s a unique twist; while crypto-related, the fund isn’t focused directly on token performance, but rather on the corporate players behind crypto accumulation. Unlike a traditional token ETF that holds Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana directly, this fund essentially offers a ‘meta-exposure’—focused on companies involved in crypto accumulation crypto. GSR’s Ambition Goes Beyond Treasuries That’s just the beginning. In the same batch of filings, GSR has also proposed: Staking-oriented ETFs: Funds that stake Ethereum or other proof-of-stake tokens, and distribute yield-enhancement strategies. A Core3 ETF would bundle Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana in roughly equal allocations. This product would more directly mimic the token exposure and be packaged as a multi-asset fund. The filings show GSR intends to compete across the entire range from direct token exposure to equity-based crypto investments. GSR’s timing is deliberate. Recently, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has aimed to speed up the approval process for crypto ETFs, reducing review times and lowering obstacles for issuers. The window is opening for new products, and GSR seems determined to be a first mover in some of the more niche categories. And with GSR and others moving in, retail investors should prepare for complete crypto-financial integration. Tools like Best Wallet are ideal for the job. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – Non-Custodial, Presale-Friendly Web 3 Wallet Best Wallet is more than just a place to store crypto. With the Best Wallet Token ($BEST), you enjoy lower transaction fees and increased staking rewards, boosting your token swaps. Set up multiple wallets in the app for EVM tokens or Bitcoin, and access the top crypto presales in the upcoming tokens section. That’s not all; with the upcoming Best Card, users will have a one-stop shop for buying, storing, and spending their tokens. What is Best Wallet token? It’s the gateway to a crypto economy fully integrated with everything, from Bitcoin HODLing strategies to crypto presale research. Learn how to buy Best Wallet Token, and visit the $BEST presale page. If launched, GSR’s treasury ETF would represent one of the most ambitious integrations of equity markets and crypto assets. As the lines between traditional finance and crypto blur, GSR’s experiment could pave the way for new hybrid investment options—and demonstrate how vital projects like $BEST are for the average crypto investor to build their own personal crypto treasury.

The road ahead for Hyperliquid does not look so bright. In fact, the decentralized trading platform could face lots of tribulations, “painful” ones, according to an expert. Related Reading: Bitmine’s Ethereum Appetite Grows With Fresh $70 Million Buy Aster, a new DEX built on the BNB Chain, has grabbed market attention this week after a dramatic price surge and heavy on-chain flows. Traders and observers say the token’s spike has shifted capital away from established rivals, while heated commentary from a high-profile trader has added to the drama. Aster Surpasses Rivals In Volume And Revenue According to on-chain trackers, Aster’s 24-hour perpetual trading volume has climbed into the tens of billions, with figures reported around $23–$30 billion — more than double what Hyperliquid recorded over the same window. Reports have disclosed that the DEX is now pulling in roughly $10 million in daily revenue, a figure that some outlets say is about four times Hyperliquid’s daily take. Trader Claims And A Public Feud Crypto trader James Wynn — a figure known for large leveraged bets and big losses earlier this year — has publicly backed Aster and predicted a long, slow decline for Hyperliquid. Furthermore, CZ will not stop until $ASTER is #1. He loves competition, he loves building and he is obsessed with winning. Hype will exist, but it will have a slow and painful death in my opinion. With Aster already doing more volume than HL. And with Aster being the better… https://t.co/VhncTh28od — James Wynn (@JamesWynnReal) September 24, 2025 Wynn’s comments, carried across social channels, have been part boast and part critique of Hyperliquid’s visible order model. He argued that Aster’s hidden-order and MEV-mitigation features make it a safer place for large players. Based on reports, Wynn said “Hype will exist, but it will have a slow and painful death,” a line that has amplified the rivalry online. Whale Accumulation And Big Withdrawals On-chain analytics show major wallets moving into ASTER. Two large buyers are reported to have picked up about 118 million ASTER, valued at roughly $270 million, which is said to represent about 7% of circulating supply. In the same stretch, a cluster of wallets withdrew 68 million ASTER (about $156 million), and one address moved 50 million ASTER from an exchange. These flows suggest both aggressive accumulation and repositioning by big holders. Aster’s Product Pitch Versus Hyperliquid’s Response Reports emphasize Aster’s features: MEV-free execution, hidden orders that keep limit sizes private, and trading interfaces pitched at both retail and pro users.
