BitMEX co-founder and crypto investor, Arthur Hayes, has outlined the key catalysts that could drive the Ethereum price to a $10,000 all-time high by year-end. In a detailed market analysis, Hayes explains how expanding US credit policies, growing institutional interests, and a shift toward wartime economic strategies could create the ideal conditions for a major ETH price rally. Ethereum Price Set To Hit $10,000 By Year End On July 23, Hayes published an in-depth report on Substack, analyzing geopolitical trends and how they could create the ideal conditions for a major Ethereum price surge. The crypto founder has set a bold target of $10,000 for ETH by the end of 2025, attributing the future rally to macroeconomic shifts and increasing institutional appetite. Related Reading: This Ethereum Descending Broadening Wedge Pattern Looks Similar To 2019-2020, Here’s What Happened Last Time Hayes believes that as the US leans further into wartime economic policies under President Donald Trump’s reign, a wave of credit expansion could be unleashed—fueling “asset bubbles,” particularly in crypto. According to the BitMEX co-founder, Ethereum could benefit most from this environment. While Bitcoin remains the crypto reserve asset, Hayes notes that ETH has been largely overlooked since Solana’s explosive rebound post-FTX. However, he asserts that the tides are turning, especially among Western institutional investors who are starting to favor Ethereum-based assets. The crypto founder pointed to growing confidence in Ethereum from financial influencers like Tom Lee and a renewed interest in DeFi ecosystems as early signs of a potential breakout. Hayes’ venture capital firm, Maelstrom, is now also fully committed to ETH and the broader ERC-20 ecosystem. He has declared that the next ”Ether bull run” is imminent, forecasting a 176.3% rise from ETH’s current price of $3,619. Alongside his $10,000 Ethereum target, the crypto founder projected that Bitcoin could skyrocket to $250,000 before the end of the year. ETH Rally Tied To US Economic And Wartime Developments In his report, Hayes seemingly connects Ethereum’s upside potential to a broader macroeconomic narrative rooted in fiscal policy and geopolitical conflict. He argues that the US is shifting toward a form of state-sponsored capitalism or economic fascism designed to fuel wartime production. Related Reading: Ethereum ATH Above $4,800? Here’s How High It Will Go If 2021 Repeats According to the crypto founder, this strategy encourages banks to lend freely to companies without government-guaranteed profits. He noted that when the fiat supply increases without a corresponding rise in raw materials or labor, inflation becomes unavoidable. To manage this, he suggests the government may need to blow bubbles in non-essential assets like crypto, to absorb excess credit without destabilizing essentials like food or housing. Furthermore, Hayes believes that just as Ethereum stands to benefit from this environment, stablecoins may play a key role in building it. As the crypto market cap grows, so does the amount stored in stablecoins, most of which are reinvested into US Treasury bills. For instance, if the market cap of crypto hits $100 trillion by 2026, the BitMEX co-founder predicts that stablecoins could indirectly fund trillions in government debt, ultimately making crypto an integral player in sustaining wartime fiscal policies.

Ethereum is showing renewed strength after a sharp but short-lived pullback. Following its recent high of $3,860, ETH dipped to the $3,500 zone — a key level that quickly attracted buying interest. Now, price action is pointing upward again, with Ethereum pushing to reclaim the $3,700 range, signaling bullish momentum may be back in control. Related Reading: Bitcoin LTHs Start Distributing: CDD Ratio Hits Historic Levels Despite the recent volatility, on-chain data support the case for continued upside. According to Santiment, whales have been aggressively accumulating ETH throughout the pullback. This surge in accumulation suggests that institutional players are positioning themselves ahead of the next leg of the rally, anticipating strength in the coming months. These strategic inflows have historically preceded sustained upward trends. The resilience around the $3,500 level, combined with the swift recovery attempt, underscores Ethereum’s strong bullish structure. With a favorable macro environment, regulatory clarity, and mounting institutional interest, Ethereum appears poised for continued expansion as the second half of the year unfolds. All eyes are now on whether this bounce holds and leads to a renewed breakout above resistance. Whales Add Ethereum as US Legal Clarity Boosts Bullish Outlook Ethereum’s bullish momentum is being reinforced by aggressive accumulation from major investors. According to analyst Ali Martinez, whales have purchased more than 1.13 million ETH—worth approximately $4.18 billion—over the past two weeks. This surge in buying activity marks one of the most significant accumulation phases in recent months and signals rising confidence among institutional players. The accumulation comes at a critical time for Ethereum, which has been consolidating near the $3,700 level after a brief pullback from its $3,860 high. This whale activity not only adds fuel to the ongoing price recovery but also strengthens Ethereum’s bullish structure heading into the second half of the year. Beyond market behavior, macro and regulatory shifts are also favoring Ethereum and the broader altcoin market. The recent passage of the GENIUS Act and Clarity Act by the US Congress marks a pivotal moment for crypto legislation. These new laws offer long-sought legal clarity for decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and digital assets, encouraging US-based innovation and capital flows into the space. This evolving regulatory framework removes one of the biggest barriers for institutional adoption of Ethereum and DeFi. With clearer rules and a growing appetite for ETH among whales, the stage is set for a potentially explosive rally if current momentum holds. Related Reading: Bitcoin STH Realized Price Chart Reveals Key Defense Zones Amid Volatility ETH Holds Strong After Pullback Ethereum (ETH) is showing renewed strength after a brief correction from its local top at $3,860. As seen in the 4-hour chart, ETH dipped to $3,500 but quickly bounced, reclaiming the $3,700 zone and closing in on key resistance at $3,776 and $3,860. This rebound indicates strong buyer interest and resilience in the uptrend. The price is now trading above all major moving averages (50, 100, and 200), which are stacked bullishly. The 50-SMA at $3,648 has provided dynamic support in recent sessions, while the 100-SMA and 200-SMA at $3,304 and $2,883, respectively, remain far below current price action—underscoring the strength of this upward move. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holders Still Reluctant To Sell – Supply Active Data Shows Room For Upside Volume is picking up slightly as ETH consolidates in a tight range near resistance.

Solana is treading on thin ice as it tests a crucial support zone between $175 and $177, a range that could decide its next big move. After a sharp rejection near $190, selling pressure is mounting, raising the stakes for bulls trying to defend this key area. Momentum Fades: Solana Slips Below Key Moving Averages According to GemXBT in a recent post, Solana (SOL) is currently trending downward, showing signs of sustained bearish pressure. The price has slipped below critical short-term moving averages such as the 20 MA, 10 MA, and 5 MA, suggesting that sellers are firmly in control for now. This breakdown below key technical levels is often seen as a precursor to further downside, especially when not accompanied by strong bullish reversals. Related Reading: Solana Becomes The Talk Of Social Media As Price Hits $200 At present, the immediate key support level is around $175. If this support holds, there could be a chance for a technical bounce, particularly as the RSI is now sitting in the oversold zone. Historically, oversold RSI levels can signal potential reversals or at least a short-term pause in selling pressure. However, traders are watching closely for confirmation before expecting a recovery, especially with resistance looming near $190. Adding to the bearish picture, the MACD remains below the signal line, reinforcing negative sentiment in the market and downside pressure. Until SOL can reclaim the broken moving averages and flip $190 into support, the technical outlook leans cautious, with the potential for continued volatility. Key Support Retest: Can $175–$177 Hold The Line? In a recent post on X, AlgoCats shared insights from the Solana daily chart, highlighting a critical price zone. The analyst pointed out that SOL is currently testing the $175–$177 support range, an area that once served as resistance and is now being re-evaluated as a potential floor. This zone has become a key battleground between bulls and bears in the short term. Related Reading: These Two Bearish Scenarios Put Solana Price At $162 After Fakeout AlgoCats also drew attention to a notable upper wick on the latest daily candle, which extended into the $189–$190 region before facing a sharp rejection. This wick suggests heavy selling pressure at those higher levels, likely due to long liquidations and the presence of a significant supply zone. Such price action often reflects a lack of buying strength and the presence of aggressive sellers. Now, the focus shifts to whether the $175–$177 support can withstand the ongoing bearish momentum. According to AlgoCats, how SOL behaves around this zone will determine the next move. If support holds, a bounce is possible, but if it breaks, the market may see further downside pressure in the near term. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
