Ethereum News Today: Bitcoin Ethereum Stall at Key Resistance as Investors Shift to Presale Projects Amid 54% ETH 9.44% BTC Gains

Bitcoin and Ethereum face technical resistance as trading volumes for both cryptocurrencies rise, yet investor interest is shifting toward presale projects like Remittix and Ruvi Ai. Ethereum’s price has climbed 54% over the past 30 days to $3,788, while Bitcoin trades at $117,700, up 9.45% in the same period. Despite these gains, market participants are increasingly allocating capital to alternative projects with real-world applications, reflecting a broader trend in crypto diversification [1].

The Ethereum market cap stands at $457 billion, with a 30.82% month-on-month increase in trading volume to $31.93 billion. Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $2.36 trillion, accompanied by a 33.22% rise in trading volume to $61.39 billion. However, price momentum for both cryptocurrencies has stalled at key resistance levels, prompting some investors to seek exposure to presale tokens and altcoins [1]. Institutional investors, in particular, are favoring projects with tangible use cases, such as cross-border payment solutions and AI-driven platforms [2].

Remittix (RTX), a PayFi-focused project, has raised $17.6 million through its presale, selling 572 million tokens at $0.0876 each. The project targets the $19 trillion global payments sector, offering low-cost, fast cross-border transactions via a blockchain-based wallet slated for Q3 2025. The wallet will support over 40 cryptocurrencies and 30 fiat currencies, enabling real-time FX conversions and transparent rates. Tokenomics are designed to incentivize long-term holding through deflationary mechanisms, and the project’s security has been audited by CertiK [1]. Analysts highlight that Remittix’s utility-first approach positions it as a top presale project for 2025, with its beta wallet and business APIs driving liquidity and payment efficiency [1].

Ruvi Ai (RUVI), a blockchain-based AI platform, has also attracted attention following its CoinMarketCap listing. Its presale phase 2 offers tokens at $0.07, with analysts projecting an 83% return if the token reaches its target valuation. This aligns with growing demand for AI-integrated crypto projects, which are seen as having strong growth potential [1]. Some experts predict Ethereum could reach $4,000 if market conditions improve, though this remains speculative [2].

The shift toward presale projects underscores investor appetite for innovation beyond traditional cryptocurrencies. While Ethereum’s open interest in futures contracts has hit $7.85 billion, driven by $4.39 billion in ETF inflows in July 2025, its price struggles to break key resistance levels [1]. Similarly, Bitcoin’s on-chain activity has plateaued, with market participants awaiting macroeconomic data and regulatory clarity.

Presale tokens like Remittix and Ruvi Ai are gaining traction for their focus on niche applications, including remittances and AI analytics. However, analysts caution that these projects remain high-risk due to market volatility and regulatory uncertainties. Institutional capital flows into presales are growing, but their long-term success depends on adoption and execution [2].
