Ethereum (ETH)

When bitcoin falters, whales sell, small holders pick up, and the Fed sneezes. Crypto, this monetary theater where everyone plays their part... often without knowing the script.

In one week, crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $1.43 billion in net outflows, their largest drop since March. This sudden disengagement reflects rising tensions around US monetary policy and directly affects the market's two pillars, bitcoin and Ethereum. In an environment of increased volatility, this massive pullback raises questions about institutional investors’ strategies and the evolving power dynamics among different assets.

In a few hours, Ethereum went from euphoria to retreat. On August 24, the crypto reached an all-time high of 4,955 dollars before losing nearly 9% shortly after, with 60 billion dollars of capitalization going up in smoke. Such a brutal correction, occurring in an already fragile market, recalls the fragility of bullish rallies in an environment still largely driven by speculation.

In August, Ethereum reached 14.98% dominance, its highest since September 2024, accompanied by a historic record. At the same time, Bitcoin fell to 58.2%, its lowest since January 2025. This shift reflects a capital reallocation within the crypto market: whales, notably on Binance, are now accumulating ETH, confirming that Ethereum is no longer a mere supporting actor but a real growth asset compared to Bitcoin, still seen as a safe haven.

Bitcoin (BTC) has witnessed heightened price volatility over the past days, a trend that has stirred several questions among market observers. Some crypto commentators believe that the asset’s recent uneven movement is down to the activities of early BTC investors, often called “OG whales.”

While Ethereum was showing off at nearly $5,000, Bitcoin was crashing… Traders saw their dreams evaporate faster than a presidential alibi.

While Ether (ETH) is reaching new highs with a surge of more than 25% in August, investors wonder: are we witnessing a lasting consolidation or just a rebound before a correction? Driven by ETF inflows and a favorable macroeconomic climate, ETH is once again attracting institutional investors. However, history tempers optimism. Since 2016, every August rally has been followed by a bearish September. Will the current euphoria mark a break or will it reactivate the market's seasonal mechanics?

Since its creation, Ethereum has claimed resistance to censorship. However, Vitalik Buterin warns: the concentration of power among a few block builders threatens the network's neutrality. To remedy this, he proposes several avenues, the most ambitious, named FOCIL, could redefine the inclusion of transactions.

Crypto loans at their peak, manipulated volumes, vanished users: between incentive bubbles and invisible debt, has DeFi become a big bank... without counters or clients?

While the asset has just broken its all-time high, Arthur Hayes, the founder of BitMEX, reignites the debate by putting forward a shocking prediction: Ethereum could reach between 10,000 and 20,000 dollars by the end of the bull cycle. A statement that, in a climate of strong monetary uncertainty, resonates as a strong signal for the crypto ecosystem, between personal conviction, macroeconomic reading, and very real market dynamics.

High-leverage trader James Wynn has once again captured market attention, this time with an aggressive long position in Ethereum. The seasoned speculator is riding Ether’s surge to new records, underscoring both the risks and rewards of extreme leverage in a market defined by volatility.

Nasdaq-listed SharpLink Gaming (SBET) has adopted a unique approach to maximize its shareholder value through a newly approved repurchase program. In a Friday statement, the Minneapolis-based firm outlined plans that would enable it to repurchase up to $1.5 billion worth of common stock to boost its Ethereum holdings.

After nearly a week of withdrawals, U.S. spot Ether exchange-traded funds saw a sharp reversal on Thursday as investors poured in $287.6 million. The surge came after four consecutive days of outflows totaling more than $924 million, signaling that institutional appetite for Ether may be regaining momentum.

The European Union is considering anchoring its future digital euro on public blockchains like Ethereum and Solana, according to Financial Times revelations. This choice would mark a major break from centralized approaches, like China, and could redefine the balance of monetary sovereignty in Europe.

While traditional markets seek new momentum, Ethereum confirms its central role in the digital financial ecosystem. This Friday, ETH crossed a historic threshold at 4,880 dollars, surpassing its 2021 record. This symbolic peak is part of a global crypto market rally, driven by a more accommodative tone from the Fed and renewed interest from institutional investors. The event marks a strategic turning point for Ethereum, now seen not merely as a speculative asset but as a pillar of future financial infrastructures.

The announcement of the launch of mUSD, Metamask's native stablecoin, marks a strategic milestone for the crypto ecosystem. Indeed, by partnering with Bridge, a Stripe subsidiary, and the decentralized infrastructure M0, Metamask is not just adding a feature: it is reshaping the contours of decentralized finance as we know it.

While bitcoin captures media attention with its ETFs, Ethereum is advancing more quietly, but delivering superior performance. According to JPMorgan, this progress is no coincidence: record inflows into ETFs, growing appetite from companies, favorable regulatory signals… All concrete levers that reposition Ethereum no longer as a follower, but as a central player in the institutional crypto dynamic.

Ethereum sees near-record daily transactions and active addresses, with institutional and whale activity shaping market interest.

Despite the drop in their popularity, NFTs still show 3.62 billion dollars in sales in 2025. Since 2017, they have accumulated 71.55 billion, with the majority on Ethereum. After the 2021-2022 boom followed by the 2023 slowdown, the market has stabilized. Less speculative, NFTs are now anchored in more concrete digital uses.

Crypto ETFs are going through their strongest turbulence zone in weeks. In a single session, nearly one billion dollars were withdrawn from funds backed by bitcoin and Ether, in a fragile market context. This wave of withdrawals, which coincides with a sharp drop in prices, reveals a reversal in investor sentiment. As the two flagship assets falter, institutional investor confidence also seems to be retreating.

Ethereum dips to just above $4,100, but major traders are making big leveraged bets, signaling confidence in a rebound.

What if Ethereum was quietly preparing a world where AIs talk among themselves without us? With ERC-8004, the blockchain already dreams of a permissionless Web3... no gatekeepers either.

Crypto ETFs blocked, Trump put on hold, and the SEC playing for time: behind regulatory delays, a strange political ballet resembling regulatory poker.

The NFT sector lost more than $1.2 billion in market value within a week as Ether prices cooled. According to NFT Price Floor, the market capitalization of NFT collections fell 12%, dropping from $9.3 billion to $8.1 billion. The correction followed Ether’s decline of nearly 9% after recently reaching a high of about $4,700.

While the crypto market evolves in a climate of macroeconomic uncertainty, a major operation has just redefined the balances. In one week, BitMine Immersion Technologies acquired 1.7 billion dollars in Ethereum, crossing the symbolic threshold of 1% of the total circulating supply.

After weeks of bullish euphoria, the crypto market violently corrected, revealing an underlying tension ignored for too long. In just 24 hours, over 500 million dollars of long positions were liquidated, dragging down bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP in their fall. This brutal wave revealed the fragility of a market fueled by leverage, where technical indicators, sidelined by optimism, suddenly regain all their importance. A return to reality is necessary for investors.

The crypto market remains paradoxical. While Ether records a sharp drop of nearly 6% in a single session, ETFs linked to the world's second largest crypto continue to capture record volumes and inflows. A contradictory dynamic that illustrates the growing maturity of institutional investors: short-term corrections are no longer enough to slow the rush towards financial products backed by Ethereum.

The broader crypto market took a tumble overnight, sending top assets including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) below key price levels. Market observation tools have linked this sudden price action to profit-taking activities by large asset holders.
