ETH Surges 2.91% to $4,015 as Institutional Inflows and SEC Clarity Drive 180-Day High

Ethereum (ETHUSDT) has experienced a notable price increase of 2.91% over the last 24 hours, with the current price at $4,015.46 according to Binance. The recent surge is primarily attributed to rising institutional interest, highlighted by purchases from companies such as SharpLink Gaming and The Ether Machine, as well as net inflows into U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs totaling $73.3 million. Additional momentum has come from regulatory clarity provided by the U.S. SEC regarding liquid staking protocols, which has encouraged further institutional participation. Technical analysis and social media sentiment remain bullish, supported by increased trading volume—up 25.10% to 54% in the last 24 hours—and Ethereum’s market capitalization now stands near $486.12 billion. The asset has reached a 180-day high, with trading volume reported between $38.19 billion and $43.09 billion, and circulating supply at approximately 120 to 121 million ETH.
