Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Surges 150% on Strong ETF Inflows and Institutional Buying

Ethereum (ETH) is gaining momentum amid strong institutional demand and reduced selling pressure, with key analysts forecasting a potential price surge beyond $4,000 by the end of 2025. The cryptocurrency has rallied more than 150% from its April lows, reflecting a robust recovery and increasing confidence from large-scale investors [1]. This upward trajectory is being fueled by record inflows into Ethereum spot ETFs, which reached $5.3 billion in July 2025—the highest monthly inflow since these products launched [1].

Industry experts, including Mike Novogratz of Galaxy Digital, have highlighted ETH’s strong fundamentals and projected a decisive breakout above $4,000 as the year progresses. Novogratz noted that the $3,000 to $4,000 range is likely to remain a key area of consolidation for some time before a potential upward move [1]. Similarly, Tom Lee, CEO of FundStrat, has emphasized the growing appeal of Ethereum relative to Bitcoin, based on the ETH/BTC ratio. At 0.03144, the ratio is still below its levels from last year, and Lee forecasts it could rise to 0.05, which would imply an ETH price of up to $5,700 [1].

On-chain data also supports the bullish case for Ethereum. The supply of ETH on centralized exchanges has hit a two-year low, indicating that holders are accumulating rather than selling [1]. This trend was particularly evident during a recent price pullback from $3,900 to $3,500, when there was no significant increase in ETH being deposited to exchanges—reinforcing the idea that investors are holding for the long term [1]. Furthermore, strong-hand holders—wallets that have never sold—now control more than 22.8 million ETH, a sign of deep conviction in the asset’s future [1].

The growing institutional interest in Ethereum is also reflected in the activities of crypto-native treasury firms. Entities such as BitMine, SharpLink Gaming, and The Ethereum Machine have collectively accumulated 2.73 million ETH, accounting for 2.26% of the total supply [1]. This accumulation underscores the increasing role of Ethereum in institutional portfolios and its expanding utility in decentralized finance (DeFi) and tokenized asset ecosystems.

Analysts remain cautious about broader macroeconomic risks, including the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, geopolitical tensions, and potential regulatory shifts in the U.S. cryptocurrency market. However, Ethereum’s institutional adoption appears more resilient compared to other major cryptocurrencies, with some experts suggesting that ETH could outperform Bitcoin in the remainder of 2025 [6].

Looking ahead, CoinDCX analysts have estimated that if the ETF momentum continues, Ethereum could reclaim the $4,000–$4,800 range by the end of 2025 and potentially reach $5,500 or higher in early 2026. These projections, while optimistic, are based on current market conditions and sustained demand from institutional buyers [7].

Ethereum’s price action and market dynamics indicate a strong foundation for continued appreciation, driven by institutional support, structural strength in on-chain metrics, and growing utility in the broader crypto economy. As the year progresses, investors are advised to monitor key indicators such as ETF inflows, exchange netflows, and the ETH/BTC ratio to gauge the asset’s trajectory [1].
