Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Nears $4,000 as ETF Inflows Surge and Institutional Holdings Hit $6.9 Billion

Ethereum is inching closer to the $4,000 level, driven by robust inflows into Ethereum-linked treasuries and ETFs. Over 1.74 million ETH is now held by publicly traded companies, valued at around $6.9 billion, with BlackRock’s ETHA fund alone amassing over $11 billion in assets. Analysts highlight $3,840 as a key support level; should ETH remain above it, a breakthrough past $4,000 before the end of the quarter appears likely, potentially spurring renewed momentum from both retail and institutional investors [1].

Meanwhile, Tron is experiencing a notable cooldown as long-term holders have secured roughly $1.4 billion in profits this year, according to on-chain data from Glassnode. These gains, largely accumulated between 2020 and 2021, have intensified selling activity, slowing TRX’s upward trajectory despite its continued relevance in stablecoin transfers and DeFi. Analysts caution that extended profit-taking often precedes a period of reduced market performance, though it does not necessarily signal a long-term bearish turn [1]. Market observers are advised to monitor SOPR data and broader market conditions to gauge whether the current pause is temporary or more enduring [1].

Cold Wallet, on the other hand, is surging ahead of the curve, having raised over $5.85 million in its Stage 17 presale. The project’s recent $270 million acquisition of Plus Wallet has seamlessly integrated 2 million active users into its ecosystem, giving it a rare advantage in early traction. Priced at $0.00998, Cold Wallet’s token ($CWT) is set to launch at $0.3517, offering a potential 3,423% return on investment at current rates. With over 703 million tokens sold to date, the project is demonstrating early-stage growth that many others have yet to achieve [1]. The 150-stage presale model ensures a steady price appreciation with each sellout, rewarding early buyers while building long-term platform utility [1].

Ethereum’s bullish technical outlook contrasts with Tron’s short-term profit-taking pressures, while Cold Wallet stands apart with a measurable, pre-launch growth trajectory. These three developments illustrate both the volatility and opportunities within the current crypto landscape. As Ethereum approaches a key price threshold and Cold Wallet accelerates its presale, the market remains closely divided between caution and optimism [1].
