Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Q3 Returns Jump 55 19% as Price Rebounds and Activity Surges

Ethereum’s performance in the third quarter of 2025 has marked a significant turnaround, with total returns hitting 55.19%, a strong recovery from a 45.41% drawdown in Q1. The cryptocurrency appears to be gaining traction as its price re-entered the year-long trading range near $3,800 after a bullish MACD crossover on the weekly chart. Analyst TitanOfCrypto highlighted this technical pattern as a potential indicator of a breakout toward higher resistance levels, with Ethereum currently hovering just below the $4,000 threshold [1].

Network activity has also surged, with monthly active addresses reaching a 12-month high of 16.74 million in July 2025, according to TedPillows. On-chain transaction counts have climbed to 26.64 million, reflecting the highest level of activity for Ethereum to date [1]. These metrics suggest a growing user base and increased engagement with the Ethereum ecosystem.

Moreover, Ethereum has dominated bridged inflows over the past 24 hours, surpassing all Layer 1 and Layer 2 competitors such as Solana and StarkNet. This trend indicates a broader migration of users to the Ethereum network, underpinned by strong fundamentals and ongoing developments like Layer 2 scaling solutions. The network’s volume share remains significantly higher than that of other chains [1].

Whale and institutional activity has further reinforced the bullish sentiment. A single Ethereum whale recently accumulated $150 million worth of ETH, signaling confidence from large investors. Analysts suggest that this trend may continue if Ethereum’s price successfully breaks above the $4,000 level [1].

The combination of strong technical signals, increased on-chain activity, and growing institutional interest points to a renewed phase of confidence in Ethereum. As spot ETFs for ETH remain under regulatory review, the market appears to be positioning itself for further upside potential, provided key resistance levels are cleared.
