The market smells euphoria: Ethereum soars to $4,000, driven by an explosive increase in institutional buying, record flows into ETFs, and public companies adding ETH to their treasuries. The "ETH as a strategic asset" narrative is making a strong comeback... and is it here to stay?

🧲 The New Institutional Magnet: ETH Takes Center Stage with Renewed Strength

Ethereum has just reached $4,071, a high not seen since December 2021, and the drivers of this rally aren't retail traders or memes, but corporations, ETFs, and public treasuries.

According to data from The Block's Ethereum Treasury Tracker, more than 150 companies now hold ETH on their balance sheets, representing more than $1.2 billion in total. In July alone, $270 million in new corporate holdings were added, an unprecedented figure.

📈 Adding to this is a boom in ETFs:

  • BlackRock's Ethereum Spot ETF surpassed $500 million in net inflows since its launch in May.

  • Fidelity, VanEck, and Franklin Templeton are also reporting aggressive increases in weekly inflows, with some days seeing double the usual volume.

💬 "We are seeing the beginning of a transition: from ETH as a speculative asset to ETH as an institutional reserve asset," explained Bernstein.

Furthermore, ETH has begun to attract interest from active treasury models, such as those previously dominated by Bitcoin. Companies like Mill City, Devvstream, and Upexi, which had previously purchased BTC or SOL, are now diversifying with Ethereum.

🔒 The narrative of Ethereum as the foundation of the on-chain economy (with staking, DeFi, RWAs, and rollups) seems to be permeating more deeply into the traditional financial sector.

And amid all this, retail investors are starting to return… slowly.

Topic Opinion:

Public treasuries don't buy hype; they buy narrative, potential, and solid fundamentals.

Ethereum offers that today. With consolidated staking, reduced post-merge issuance, and a more efficient network, ETH is starting to resemble what Bitcoin was for institutional investors in 2020.

But this time, the game is bigger: ETH isn't just a store of value; it also generates yield, powers applications, and is at the center of the tokenized economy. The market is waking up to that reality… and the price is reflecting it.

💬 Do you think Ethereum can consolidate its position as the preferred asset for public treasuries?
