Ethereum News Today: Institutional Inflows Drive Ethereum Higher as Altcoin Season Gains Momentum

Institutional flows are reshaping the Ethereum (ETH) landscape as spot ETFs from major players like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale have attracted over $123.5 billion in inflows. Additional corporate investments from firms such as BitMine Immersion and The Ether Machine have further fueled demand, contributing to renewed interest in Ethereum as a benchmark for altcoin performance [1]. ETH is currently trading between $3,700 and $3,800, with ETF inflows continuing to rise sharply—$5.4 billion in just 19 days, including a single-day surge of $727 million. This institutional momentum has reinforced bullish forecasts, with some analysts predicting ETH could reach $4,000 or even $7,000 by Q4 2025 [1].

Amid the ETH rally, attention is shifting to altcoins built on the Ethereum platform. One such project, Remittix (RTX), has gained traction among investors. Priced at $0.0895, RTX is not a speculative meme coin but a utility token focused on real-world cross-border payments. Its presale has surpassed $17.9 million in volume, with 570 million tokens sold. The project has live infrastructure supporting 40+ crypto assets and 30+ fiat currencies across 30+ countries, backed by a full audit from CertiK and plans for a mobile wallet beta in Q3 2025. A $250,000 giveaway has also contributed to growing traction beyond traditional crypto speculators. Analysts are increasingly viewing RTX as a compelling investment ahead of the broader altcoin season [1].

The broader institutional push into crypto is not limited to ETH. For example, BNB recently reached $858, temporarily climbing to the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. This movement was supported by institutional acquisitions from 10X Capital and Nano Labs, with the former launching a $1.2 billion private investment in public equity (PIPE) offering targeting BNB [2]. Similarly, XRP is showing early signs of recovery, trading near $3.20 as investors watch for a potential breakout. A sustained position above this level could see it move toward $3.250 and $3.330, while a drop below $3.20 could trigger a pullback [2].

BlockDAG (BDAG) is another project gaining attention with a unique No Vesting Pass offer, allowing investors immediate access to 100% of their tokens at launch. Priced at $0.0016, this structure differentiates BDAG from typical vesting models. The offer ends on August 4, 2025, and has already driven a 2,660% increase since its first batch. With a global launch planned for August 11, the project is being positioned as a potential leader in 2025 with mobile mining capabilities, a Layer 1 network, and expanding DeFi applications [2].

As institutional interest continues to grow, Ethereum and its ecosystem are at the center of a broader shift toward utility-driven tokens and real-world applications. Projects like Remittix and BlockDAG are being closely watched as potential breakout candidates, reflecting the market’s evolving focus from pure speculation to tangible value creation in the blockchain space.
