Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Surges 75% on ETF Inflows and Whale Buying

Ethereum (ETH) has surged by nearly 75% since late June 2025, trading at approximately $3,740 as of July 26, driven by significant ETF inflows and increased whale accumulation. The coin saw a single-day inflow of $452.8 million from major institutional players such as BlackRock’s ETHA and Fidelity’s FETH. On-chain activity has also spiked, with transaction volume rising by 288% over three weeks and exceeding $10 billion, signaling growing institutional and retail confidence in the network [1].

In contrast, Dogecoin (DOGE) has plummeted by nearly 40.53% amid panic selling triggered by an unverified AI-related rumor involving a fictional government tool. The coin now trades around $0.24, erasing all gains from the previous month. Analysts note that the claim lacks any official backing and is widely regarded as speculative, yet it has significantly impacted investor sentiment and short-term market behavior [2].

Meanwhile, BlockDAG has emerged as a standout in the 2025 crypto landscape with a $361 million presale and a unique approach to user engagement. The project has sold 24.7 billion tokens across 29 batches, reaching a current price of $0.0276. Early investors from the first batch have already realized a 2,660% return. With the price currently set at $0.0016 until August 11, the project is offering a potential 3,025% return based on an estimated $0.05 launch price [3].

BlockDAG’s Trading Dashboard V4 is a key differentiator, allowing users to engage in live simulations, including BDAG/USD charts, real-time order books, and interactive trade panels. This hands-on experience is rare among 2025’s new crypto projects and is designed to build user confidence and familiarity prior to the official listing. The dashboard replicates the real exchange environment, giving traders a risk-free platform to develop and test strategies [4].

This innovative approach positions BlockDAG as a top-tier project in the current market. While ETH and DOGE remain subject to external macroeconomic and speculative forces, BlockDAG is building a foundation of utility and real-world application. The project's focus on practical tools, rather than speculative narratives, aligns with the growing trend of value-based crypto innovation [5].
