When institutions, policies, and market sentiment all push forward simultaneously, the bull market train can no longer be stopped!

Last night, Ethereum went crazy! It surged 12% in 24 hours, breaking through the $4,000 mark, setting a new high for 2025! The whole network is shouting 'ETH bull market is here', but Long Ge tells you in the simplest terms: how much can this wave of market earn? Who is making money? Is it still time to get on board?

Institutions are grabbing money: $2 billion dumped, ETH becomes 'Wall Street's ATM'.

The US-listed company Sharplink Gaming did something big: directly raised $200 million, fully investing in ETH, and even staked its holdings for an annualized return of 8%! What does this mean? You earn 1% interest in a bank for a year, while they earn 8% just by lying down, hoping for ETH to rise again for another profit!

What's even crazier is BitMine Immersion, which has hoarded 833,000 ETH, becoming the world's largest 'ETH landlord'! On-chain data shows that in the past week, mysterious institutions swept up $667 million worth of ETH through over-the-counter (OTC) trading, comparable in scale to the peak of the 2021 bull market!

Long Ge's view: Institutions are not philanthropists; their investment in real money indicates that ETH has transformed from 'speculating on coins' to 'printing money'! Staking rewards + Gas fee destruction + DeFi ecosystem, ETH is forming a closed loop of 'buy more, earn more'. If retail investors don't follow now, are they just waiting for institutions to make enough money and run away?

Policy sends sugar: Trump's order allows 401(k) retirement funds to enter the crypto space.

Trump made big news again: issuing an executive order allowing Americans' retirement funds (401(k)) to directly buy cryptocurrency, including ETH! What does this mean? The scale of the US retirement market is $35 trillion; even if only 1% flows into ETH, it could drive the price up several times!

Even more explosive news: The SEC is reportedly accelerating the review of the ETH ETF, with market expectations for approval as early as September! Bloomberg predicts that within 12 months of the ETF's approval, at least $15 billion will flow into ETH, equivalent to 10% of the current circulating supply!

Last night, ETH's on-chain data exploded: daily trading volume of 1.74 million transactions, stablecoin supply of $138 billion, and DeFi locked value of $187 billion! And what about Solana? TVL is only $42 billion, and it crashes every few days!

Long Ge's view: Technology is the lifeblood of cryptocurrency! ETH proves with strength that it is the ultimate king of 'smart contract platforms'. Solana? Just a fleeting 'pseudo-alternative'!

Is it still time to get on board?

ETH has surged so much, many people are asking: 'Long Ge, can we still buy now?'

Short-term risk: The RSI indicator is already at 68.99, close to the overbought zone. If it can't break through $4,350, it may pull back to the support level of $3,800.

Long-term opportunity: Standard Chartered Bank predicts ETH will surge to $8,000 by the end of the year, and Galaxy Digital even predicts 'ETH/BTC exchange rate will break 0.12', corresponding to a price of $12,000!

Long Ge's operation suggestion:

Spot players: Hold, do not leverage before $4,350;

Contract players: Buy on dips at $3,800 with a light position, stop loss at $3,700;

Long-term players: Pay attention to Layer 2 ecosystems and re-staking protocols; these could be the 'tenfold coin incubators' of the ETH ecosystem!

This wave of ETH market is a concentrated explosion of institutional, policy, and technological benefits! In 2020, you missed BTC, in 2021, you missed SOL; in 2025, will you miss ETH again?
