After beating the resistance mounted at the $3,000 by bears for months now, the Ethereum price looks primed for a further breakout. Expectations currently are that the Ethereum price rally will trigger the next altcoin season and possibly lead to a push toward new all-time highs for ETH. One analyst in particular has compared this breakout to what was seen back in May 2025, something that could mean that higher levels are in store for the altcoin. Ethereum Is Mirroring Its Move From May May 2025 has remained one of the most bullish for the Ethereum price so far this year, rallying by more than 40% in a 30-day period. The price had gone from a low of around $1,770 to a high of $2,650 before retracing. But the most important thing was the trend and how the price moved before finally reaching its high. There was an initial surge, then some sideways movement, before the final upsurge to $2,600, and then the eventual top. Related Reading: Bitcoin Dominance Just Got Rejected From TSDT Resistance That Triggered Last Altcoin Season — Details According to crypto analyst CryptosBatman on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the Ethereum price is once again mirroring this price movement that led to its 40% surge. The post highlights the fact that Ethereum has already seen an initial breakout and has begun to move sideways. However, this sideways move is not expected to last long and is actually part of the overall move. As the crypto analyst explained, the same triangle pattern that formed in May 2025 is now forming after the Ethereum price crossed the $3,000 range. Hence, the sideways movement is expected as investors take profit. Once the sideways accumulation is done and the triangle pattern is broken, then Ethereum is expected to begin rallying once again. The next target from here is above $3,600. Factors Driving The ETH Bullish Momentum Other than the fact that the Ethereum price has formed a similar triangle pattern to what was seen back in May, there are also notable developments in terms of accumulation that are also driving the price. For one, Spot Ethereum ETF inflows have continued to ramp up. Related Reading: XRP Becomes Top 3 Crypto After ProShares ETF Approval, Can It Flip ETH?

The mining firm has raised $6 million and is set to dump Bitcoin in favor of Ethereum, targeting tens of millions in ETH reserves by year-end.
Bitcoin continues to maintain upward momentum despite a recent pullback from its all-time high. Currently trading at $117,847, the asset has recorded nearly a 10% gain over the past week. The dip from peak levels, approximately a 4.1% decline, has not dampened broader investor sentiment, with several on-chain indicators suggesting renewed buying interest and reduced selling pressure. Related Reading: Bitcoin Retail Demand Rebounds – $0–$10K Transfer Volume Turns Positive Bitcoin Whale Withdrawals Decline, While Stablecoins Flow In In a recent analysis posted to CryptoQuant’s QuickTake platform, analyst Amr Taha shared insights pointing to a strategic change in behavior among key Bitcoin holders and investors. The report, titled “Stablecoin Flood and Whale Retreat: Binance Moves Foreshadow Risk-On Sentiment”, outlined significant trends in whale activity and stablecoin flows that may support continued bullish momentum in the near term. Taha’s research highlighted a steep reduction in whale-level Bitcoin deposits on Binance. Over the past 30 days, these deposits have dropped from $6.75 billion to $4.5 billion, a $2.25 billion decline. Historically, large deposits from whales to centralized exchanges often signal an intention to sell, so the recent drop may imply a reduction in immediate sell-side pressure. This could stabilize Bitcoin’s price in the short term, especially if whales continue to hold or move assets to cold storage instead of preparing them for sale. At the same time, stablecoin flows have increased dramatically across major exchanges. On July 16, Binance and HTX saw combined stablecoin inflows exceeding $1.7 billion. Taha interpreted this as an indication that large entities, possibly institutions or whales, are preparing to accumulate digital assets. Large stablecoin deposits often precede significant buying activity, suggesting that the market could be gearing up for another leg higher, particularly if paired with reduced sell-side movements. Macroeconomic Developments and Miner Sentiment Add Context This on-chain activity is unfolding amid broader economic and political developments. Taha’s report also pointed to speculation around President Donald Trump’s comments during a private meeting, in which he reportedly considered replacing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Though later denied, the remark sparked reactions in traditional markets, including a weaker dollar and rising bond yields. These shifts signaled a rotation into risk assets, potentially benefiting crypto markets as investors reallocate capital in anticipation of a more accommodative monetary stance.

Bitcoin has been on a tear lately. Prices jumped past $123,000 this week. Now, new figures show that fresh money is flowing into the market again. That’s a sharp change after months of muted retail interest. Related Reading: Avalanche Shatters Record With 20M Transactions—Is Real-World Use Finally Here? Fresh Capital Flooding In According to on‑chain data from Glassnode, first‑time buyers picked up an extra 140,000 BTC over the past two weeks. Their holdings climbed from 4.77 million to nearly 5 million BTC—a 2.86% rise. That influx of fresh coins helped push Bitcoin past its latest high. It also shows that new investors are gaining confidence in the world’s biggest cryptocurrency. Over the past two weeks, the supply held by first-time $BTC buyers rose by +2.86%, climbing from 4.77M to 4.91M #BTC. Fresh capital continues to enter the market, supporting the latest price breakout. pic.twitter.com/W95HSAMaHI — glassnode (@glassnode) July 17, 2025 Short‑Term Holders Hit A New Cost Base Newer players aren’t the only ones getting active. Based on reports, entities that bought Bitcoin within the last six months now sit on a cost basis above $100,000 for the first time. They’ve held on through price swings and have not yet sold at a loss. That suggests many expect the rally to continue. At the same time, holding on tight could create pressure if prices dip below their average buy‑in point. Dip Buyers Act Fast Glassnode’s cost‑basis heatmap revealed that buyers moved quickly when Bitcoin dipped below $116,000 earlier this week. About 196,600 BTC changed hands between $116,000 and $118,000. That buying spree added over $23 million in value near what looks like a local top. It’s a sign of strong resolve from those backing the market at lower levels. Altcoin Chat Outpaces Bitcoin Searches While whales and newer buyers are busy, the crowd on Google seems less thrilled. Search activity for “Bitcoin” ticked up modestly in the last fortnight, but it’s well below the highs seen when BTC first broke $100,000 this year. At the same time, data from Santiment indicate chatter has shifted toward altcoins. With Ethereum grabbing the spotlight, many retail investors appear more excited by tokens promising bigger short‑term moves.

Daniel Yan, the founder and CIO of Kryptanium Capital, a managing partner at Matrixport Ventures, and previously an executive at Bitmain and Merrill Lynch, writes today via X: “Everyone is comparing SBET to MSTR and thus concludes super-bullishly for both ETH and SBET. Together with the ETF massive flow, the logic seems impeccable… I think SBET differs massively from MSTR on two fronts… All the above point to a maximization of short-term interest.” The comparison of SharpLink Gaming (SBET) to MicroStrategy (MSTR) has become a fixture of crypto-equity chatter as Ether rallies to 16-month highs on the back of record US spot-ETF inflows. But in a post published this morning, venture investor Daniel Yan argues that the two “proxy” trades share less DNA than the market assumes. SBET Isn’t MicroStrategy—What It Means For Ethereum Price SharpLink’s metamorphosis from an i-gaming software vendor into the world’s largest corporate Ether holder has been dizzyingly fast. Since the firm announced its treasury pivot on 2 June, it has amassed 280,706 ETH (≈ $925 million) and staked nearly all of it, earning 415 ETH in rewards. To fund the spree, SharpLink sold 24.6 million shares for $413 million via an at-the-market (ATM) facility between 7 and 11 July. The company still has $257 million of authorised capital it has yet to commit to the market. Related Reading: Ethereum Could Shoot Above $4,000 This Week, Predicts Analyst Management insists dilution is offset by growing “ETH Concentration” (ETH ÷ 1,000 assumed diluted shares), which has risen from 2.00 to 2.46 ETH in just five weeks. Nevertheless, Yan warns that the very mechanism powering SharpLink’s accumulation—constant equity issuance—is also a pressure point: “This method creates a massive dilution effect on the ETH-per-share metric, which makes SBET price more vulnerable to negative shocks.” MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin strategy is held together by cheap, long-dated leverage. Since mid-2020 the firm has floated $8.2 billion of convertible notes—all funnelled into BTC—and only secondarily tapped its own ATM shelf. Because converts embed an equity option, they dilute only if MSTR’s share price leaps, effectively synchronising new issuance with bullish sentiment. Yan calls this a “flywheel” that SBET lacks. Indeed, five of MicroStrategy’s six convert issues are already deep in the money as MSTR flirts with all-time highs, turning the debt into quasi-equity on highly favourable terms. By contrast, SharpLink relies almost exclusively on equity sales; every fresh tranche increases the denominator immediately, regardless of where SBET trades. Yan also highlights governance asymmetry: SharpLink was recapitalised by “one of the largest consortium of ETH holders,” whose own SBET shares unlock in roughly five months. He frames the arrangement as a “multi-party prisoner’s dilemma,” implying insiders may be incentivised to monetise quickly rather than steward a decades-long treasury strategy. No comparable unlocking event hangs over MicroStrategy, whose executive chairman Michael Saylor owns the bulk of the voting stock and has repeatedly pledged never to sell. Related Reading: SharpLink Gaming Buys Another $19.5M In Ethereum: Institutional Accumulation Yan’s comments land just as Ether ETFs smash records. US spot funds absorbed $726.6 million in net inflows on Wednesday, their best day since launch, lifting cumulative holdings above 5 million ETH. Bulls argue that such flows will continue to buoy both Ether and any equity that warehouses it. Even Yan concedes “there is merit in this for the short term.” But his analysis underscores that the path-dependency of SharpLink’s model—equity issuance first, crypto purchases later—carries different risks from MicroStrategy’s debt-driven lever. The key divergence is simple: MicroStrategy’s converts dilute only if the bet is already winning; SharpLink’s ATM dilutes so the bet can be placed. Yan is not forecasting an imminent crash—he explicitly disavows any short position in Ether—but he urges investors caught up in “the euphoric period” to scrutinise capital-structure mechanics. If SharpLink’s insiders do treat the company as a short-term vehicle and ETF momentum cools, the ATM-powered “flywheel” could spin the opposite way: more shares, lower ETH-per-share, weaker SBET. Conversely, if Ether keeps climbing and the firm times its issuance astutely, shareholders could still enjoy MicroStrategy-style convexity. The difference, as Yan makes clear, is that SharpLink’s leverage is worn on the cap table, not tucked inside a convertible note. At press time, ETH traded at $3,412.

Related Reading: If You’re Wealthy, 1 Bitcoin Should Already Be In Your Wallet, Expert Says Based on reports, the measure would shift certain tokens onto a “mature” blockchain and hand oversight to the CFTC instead of the SEC. Warren Warns Of A Regulatory Loophole According to Warren, the bill’s text would let any company listed on the NYSE put its stock on a qualifying blockchain. At that point, companies could escape SEC registration. She said that could “blow up the value of the NYSE” by cutting out investor protections. Under the draft, token sales using a functional chain still count as fundraising, but tokenized shares may slip free of SEC checks.

(Update – On Wednesday, the GOP-led US House navigated crucial procedural checkpoints for crypto reform, just a day after President Donald Trump stepped in to keep the effort alive—clearing the path for America’s inaugural federal digital-asset statute. Those approvals came on the heels of more than nine hours of behind‑closed‑doors negotiations, as party leaders courted skeptics uneasy about the bill’s design.) US President Donald Trump said he expects these bills to land on his desk after Senate votes. Representative Andy Harris noted that the House Freedom Caucus plans to meet soon to add CBDC language into the CLARITY draft. Large parts of the market are watching closely.

A powerful message has emerged from a recent episode of the Good Evening Crypto YouTube show that urged XRP holders to rethink their exit strategy ahead of what may be one of the most pivotal crypto cycles yet. Host Abdullah Nassif “Abs” issued a strong caution against selling XRP by pointing to a combination of regulatory progress and tokenization of real-world assets as signs that the current cycle may just be getting started for the XRP price. The One Rule XRP Holders Must Remember Abs amplified a sentiment shared by a speaker who stressed that XRP holders should not sell, especially not during the coming price spikes. “Hold a minimum of 10,000 units in a cold storage,” the speaker said. “Selling is the worst possible thing you can do to an XRP. If you sell your XRP when the price bumps, you’re going to cause a problem.” Related Reading: Prepare For ATHs: ‘XRP Train Has Left The Station – Analyst This advice is based on the outlook that XRP is set to benefit from the coming wave of real-world asset tokenization. Abs argued that trillions of dollars are on the verge of flowing into blockchain ecosystems through tokenized assets, with the XRP Ledger expected to capture a significant portion of that activity. “From just a few billion today, tokenization is forecasted to grow to $19 trillion by 2030,” he said. That growth, coupled with XRP’s central role in facilitating this future, means current holders are sitting on what could become generational wealth if they resist the urge to exit too soon. Throughout the episode, the host and his co-host, “Johnny Crypto,” outlined a series of catalysts they believe will push the XRP price into a new era. Among them is the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a $1.6 trillion economic stimulus package that could flood markets with liquidity. According to Abs, this money will drive regular investors into risk-on assets like XRP. He also touched on legal developments, noting the SEC may be nearing a decision to drop its appeal in the ongoing Ripple case. Another positive catalyst is the possible approval of 19 different XRP ETFs that are set to launch around October 18. According to him, when XRP starts registering daily closings above $3.25, the price chart is going to move in ways never seen before. As such, there’s also the possibility of XRP reaching the double-digit threshold above $10 in 2025. Still, XRP investors should not make the mistake of selling. The Case For Holding Long-Term Interestingly, co-host Johnny Crypto also noted that the most positive catalyst of all is if Fed Chair Jed Powell gets booted and a new Fed Chair comes in that lowers interest rates. “That means all bets are on for risk-on assets, and crypto will probably be the number one beneficiary,” he said. Related Reading: XRP Wave 3 Could Repeat 600% Surge From Nov 2025, Target Set For $15 Johnny Crypto also added a personal layer to the discussion by sharing a painful lesson from his past. In 1997, he sold a large amount of Amazon stock he owned far too early, a decision that cost him $52 million in missed gains. This time, he said, the strategy is different. Although he might sell about 30% of his holdings, selling the entire stash is not an option. He mentioned that he’s considering placing his XRP in a trust or even borrowing against it to maintain long-term exposure. Johnny also issued a broader warning, noting that banks may attempt to take control of crypto assets like XRP from retail holders in the near future. “We’re not that far away,” he said. “Probably in the next one year, we’ll hear about banks costing crypto.” At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.26.
