Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Eyes $8,000 as $95.6 Trillion Liquidity Boosts ETF Inflows 40% and Institutional Demand Surges

Eric Trump, a prominent figure in the financial sector, has publicly endorsed an $8,000 price target for Ethereum, citing record global liquidity of $95.6 trillion as a key driver for institutional demand and bullish momentum in the cryptocurrency market [1]. This projection aligns with broader market analyses and underscores a shift in investor focus toward Ethereum, particularly as Bitcoin’s dominance in the crypto market has declined to 60%, a drop of 8.5% in less than a month. The ETH/BTC ratio has surged 40% in the same period, reflecting growing institutional and retail interest in Ethereum’s ecosystem [2].

Analysts such as TedPillows and Wolf have reinforced this optimism, forecasting Ethereum could reach between $8,000 and $13,000. Their rationale includes Wyckoff accumulation patterns, robust ETF inflows, and institutional holdings exceeding $2 billion in Ethereum reserves. These factors, combined with a strengthening market structure, suggest a strong case for further upside in the near term [3]. Institutional adoption has accelerated, with Ethereum-focused ETFs attracting more inflows than Bitcoin ETFs for seven consecutive days. Notably, spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $214 million in inflows on July 24 alone, extending a 15-day streak of positive flows [1].

The macroeconomic backdrop further supports Ethereum’s trajectory. Global liquidity, as measured by M2 money supply, remains at historic levels, creating favorable conditions for risk assets. Analysts from COINOTAG argue that Ethereum’s price action has lagged behind liquidity growth, indicating potential for significant appreciation as investors reallocate capital toward assets with scalable utility and deflationary mechanisms [4]. On-chain data also reveals growing institutional and whale activity, with wallet holdings of over 10,000 ETH rising by 3% in the past month [3].

Ethereum’s technological advancements, including EIP-7702 proposals to reduce transaction fees and the adoption of Layer-2 solutions, enhance its appeal as a platform for decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These upgrades, coupled with over 34 million ETH staked, create deflationary pressure by reducing circulating supply. However, experts caution that regulatory uncertainties and macroeconomic volatility could disrupt the upward trend [1].

The convergence of rising liquidity, institutional inflows, and Ethereum’s evolving infrastructure has reignited bullish sentiment. While the $8,000 target once seemed ambitious, it now appears increasingly plausible if current trends persist. The focus remains on whether Ethereum can sustain its momentum through late 2025, as investors weigh the interplay of macroeconomic tailwinds and market dynamics.
