What are the recent positives for ETH???

Foundation Policy Adjustment: The Ethereum Foundation announced a future focus on ecological development, particularly in the DeFi sector, while gradually reducing annual operating expenses and minimizing ETH sales, which helps alleviate market supply pressure and stabilize investor confidence.

Robust Staking Ecosystem: Over 27% of eligible ETH is staked on PoS, with an annual staking yield of about 3 - 4%. The increasing amount of staked ETH means a reduction in the supply of ETH on exchanges, enhancing the scarcity of ETH.

Advantages in DeFi and NFT Markets: DeFi platforms host over 1,300 DeFi protocols, with a total locked value of approximately $46.3 billion, far exceeding competitors. Ethereum also holds the largest share in NFT trading volume, with weekly NFT sales reaching about $36.5 million in late May 2025, a month-on-month increase of about 28%.

ETF Fund Inflows: U.S. regulators approved several ETH ETFs in mid-2024, and by May 2025, cumulative inflows into ETH ETFs reached a record $564 million, continuing into June. As of June 3, total assets in ETH ETFs were approximately $9.37 billion, accounting for about 3.06% of ETH's market capitalization.

Regulatory Policy Signals: U.S. regulators have released relatively lenient policy signals regarding staking (PoS), easing some restrictions. The new chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Paul Atkins, also announced plans to issue clearer guidance on which cryptocurrencies are considered securities, reducing policy uncertainty.

Macroeconomic Environment: With cooling inflation, the Federal Reserve has maintained stable interest rates in recent meetings, and may shift to rate cuts later in 2025; lower rates are generally seen as favorable for cryptocurrency price increases.

Real Assets on Chain: New policies regarding stablecoins have been introduced in places like Hong Kong, signaling a gradual alignment with traditional finance. The stablecoin product launched by JD.com chose to deploy on the Ethereum mainnet, and as real assets accelerate onto the chain, Ethereum, as a mature ecological foundation, is favored by more traditional capital.
