Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Surges 60% as Institutional Inflows and On-Chain Activity Drive Momentum

BlockBeats News reported on July 28 that the Bitget Research Institute’s Chief Analyst, Ryan Lee, highlighted Ethereum’s (ETH) recent 60% surge above $3,800, driven by institutional fund inflows and rising on-chain activity. A key technical indicator—the ETH/BTC ratio—has broken above its 200-day moving average for the first time in a year, signaling Ethereum’s entry into a relatively strong period [1]. The institute noted that net inflows for ETH-related spot and derivative transactions reached $2.4 billion last week, while large whale addresses have continued accumulating the asset. Growing market enthusiasm for Ethereum’s ecosystem, particularly DeFi applications, has accelerated fund flows toward ETH [1].

Bitcoin (BTC), meanwhile, remains stable above $119,000, supported by robust technical fundamentals and institutional backing. However, ETF funds have experienced slight outflows, contrasting with Ethereum’s momentum. The report attributes this divergence to a broader rotation of capital toward mainstream altcoin sectors, with Ethereum benefiting from heightened structural strength [1].

According to the analyst’s forecast, if current trends persist, Ethereum could test the $5,500–$6,500 range by Q4 2025. Should institutional demand remain resilient, the price could approach $10,000. For Bitcoin, the institute projects a potential rise to $140,000–$160,000 by year-end [1]. The analysis underscores Ethereum’s outperformance as a reflection of its ecosystem’s maturation and capital reallocation dynamics in the crypto market.
