Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Hits $4,000 as ETF Inflows Drive $440 Billion Market Cap Growth

Recent inflows into spot Ethereum (ETFs have surged, pushing ETH's price toward $4,000 and reinforcing its position as a top-tier crypto asset [1]. The increased institutional demand and corporate treasury allocations have contributed to renewed investor optimism, with Ethereum’s market capitalization now exceeding $440 billion [1]. Despite these gains, attention is shifting within the Ethereum ecosystem, as traders look beyond ETH itself toward alternative tokens with real-world utility and lower entry points [2].

One such token is , a cross-chain DeFi project focused on bridging the gap between crypto and traditional finance. RTX enables direct crypto-to-bank transfers in over 30 countries, using live FX conversion and open exchange rates at a cost of just $0.0895 per transaction. This low-cost infrastructure has already attracted over $18 million in funding, with more than 580 million tokens sold during its live presale [1].

What distinguishes RTX is its tangible infrastructure and utility-driven design. Unlike speculative or meme-based tokens, Remittix offers a practical solution for global remittances, targeting freelancers, digital nomads, and businesses. Its upcoming beta wallet, scheduled for release in Q3 2025, will further enhance usability by enabling mobile-first transactions with low fees and seamless integration into everyday financial activities [1].

A limited-time 40% token bonus and a $250,000 giveaway are also helping to drive adoption and early community growth. These incentives, combined with a transparent and audited development approach, have made RTX a compelling alternative for investors seeking exposure to Ethereum’s ecosystem at a fraction of the cost [1].

While Ethereum continues to attract institutional interest, particularly through ETF inflows, the market is showing a growing appetite for Ethereum-based projects that provide real-world utility at lower price points. This shift reflects a broader trend in the crypto space: as Ethereum’s price rises beyond the reach of many retail investors, altcoins with strong fundamentals and use cases are stepping in to fill the gap.

Remittix is one such project that aligns with this trend. By addressing a $190 trillion global financial problem—cross-border payments—RTX positions itself not just as a speculative altcoin, but as a foundational layer for future DeFi and PayFi applications. With its live presale ongoing and a concrete roadmap in place, RTX is drawing attention as one of the most promising crypto projects of 2025 [1].
