#ETHBreaks3k

$ETH just broke above $3K today after a solid +6.59% move in the past 24H  momentum’s picking up fast. CME $ETH futures OI hit $3.27B, the highest since Feb, pointing to strong institutional demand behind the scenes.

Over $1B in shorts got liquidated as both $ETH and $BTC pumped, and supply pressure is easing only 28% of ETH is still liquid, while 35M ETH is staked.

Regulatory tailwinds in the U.S. and major client upgrades (like Geth’s storage boost) are adding fuel to the rally. $ETH’s holding key levels with real volume if this pace holds, $3,200–$3,400 might be closer than it looks.
