Ethereum is in the Spotlight Again: Viral Issues You Must Know
1. Large Inflows to Ethereum ETF Surge
In the first few days of August 2025, the Ethereum ETF recorded outstanding performance—receiving a total inflow of over $2.3 billion from institutional investors, surpassing Bitcoin for three consecutive days. This achievement demonstrates significant confidence in Ethereum's long-term prospects, with institutional funds such as BlackRock and Fidelity also injecting capital.
2. Standard Chartered Revises Projections: ETH Could Break $7,500 by Year-End
UK-based bank Standard Chartered raised its year-end price target for ETH to $7,500, sharply up from the previous prediction of $4,000. This revision was prompted by the growing adoption of stablecoins (due to regulatory support like the GENIUS Act), as well as a price surge to a 3.5-year high around $4,700.
3. MetaMask Ready to Launch USD Stablecoin — mUSD
MetaMask, one of the most popular Ethereum wallets with over 30 million active users per month, is preparing to launch a new stablecoin called mUSD—with full institutional support. This token is scheduled to be officially available in mid-August and fully operational by the end of this month. The arrival of mUSD could strengthen the DeFi ecosystem on Ethereum.
