【VKGAME Virtual Currency】The Triple Forces Behind Ethereum's Surge: Institutional Bets, Security Upgrades, and Ecological Fission

Ethereum has broken a months-long sideways trend with a rise of over 40%, with its price climbing strongly from below $2000 to $2700 and firmly holding the key support level of $2500. This round of increase not only far exceeds the performance of mainstream assets like Bitcoin during the same period. On the surface, this is a reflection of recovering market sentiment, but the deeper reason lies in Ethereum undergoing a 'value reassessment revolution' driven by institutional entry, security architecture upgrades, and breakthrough ecological technologies.

Asset management giants like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton are no longer satisfied with viewing it as a speculative target but are positioning Ethereum as the core vehicle for tokenized financial products. VanEck's Ethereum on-chain treasury fund VBILL, launched in May, surpassed $500 million in management scale within a week, demonstrating traditional market trust in Ethereum's underlying technology. Payment giant Stripe has resumed its cryptocurrency settlement business and acquired stablecoin infrastructure company Bridge, directly utilizing the Ethereum network for cross-border payments, further consolidating its position in 'financial new infrastructure'.

Ethereum's efficient settlement capabilities are attracting deep collaborations from global digital entertainment platforms. Online digital entertainment platforms represented by VKGAME have served over ten million users worldwide since their establishment in 2016, covering diverse scenarios such as esports and interactive gaming. The platform achieves millisecond-level transaction settlements and secure fund custody through the Ethereum network, processing over 20,000 user deposit and withdrawal operations daily, with a cumulative transaction volume exceeding $300 million. The realization of such large-scale commercialization scenarios validates the technical reliability of Ethereum as a global settlement layer and provides practical case support for institutional entry.

Sentora monitoring shows that in the past 7 days, $1.2 billion worth of ETH has been withdrawn from exchanges, marking the largest single-week withdrawal scale since December 2023. However, this massive liquidity withdrawal has not led to a price collapse; instead, it has pushed ETH to break through key resistance levels. This indicates that the withdrawal behavior is not a retail sell-off but rather institutions accumulating through over-the-counter trading channels and transferring assets into custody wallets or staking contracts. Currently, the ETH inventory on exchanges accounts for only 12% of the total circulating supply, marking a two-year low, with supply tightening becoming a core support for the price.
