Ethereum fundamentals and positioning are drawing renewed interest from institutions, lifting price and sentiment as analysts eye a new high.
Ethereum's rally in recent months could lead to a new all-time high this year, analysts say, as its fundamentals begin to firm and sentiment shifts.

On Wednesday, Ethereum reached a five-month high of $3,418. The asset has since dipped but remains elevated, with 24-hour gains exceeding 7%, according to CoinGecko data.

The spike coincides with accelerated institutional accumulation, including from the likes of SharpLink Gaming, whose holdings are nearing $828 million, following a $225 million purchase in July, according to DeFiLlama data.

Similarly, Bitcoin mining company BitMine Immersion Technologies raised $250 million in June and has since acquired over $500 million worth of Ethereum.
“Ethereum’s current setup is one of the strongest in years,” a spokesperson for Elfa AI, a real-time social and on-chain behavior tracking platform, told Decrypt. “Fundamentals, sentiment, and institutional flows all point in the same bullish direction.”

Ethereum has gained sharply against Bitcoin in recent weeks, with the ratio between the two rising 20% in just two weeks—a sign that investors are rotating into Ethereum after months of underperformance.
Charles Edwards, Founder of Capriole Fund, told Decrypt that he expects a new all-time high within “six to 12 months.”
Edwards attributed the outlook to “strong growth” and a shift in how market participants previously viewed the number two crypto.
The asset’s recent 62% rally in less than a month adds "confluence," Edwards said, especially considering "how hated Ethereum was across the crypto space over the last six months."

Meanwhile, the Ethereum supply held on centralized exchanges has decreased significantly since the start of the year, from 11 million ETH to 7.22 million, according to Santiment data.

That’s typically interpreted as a sign that traders are instead hoarding their coins, usually in cold storage, rather than maintaining them on centralized platforms for active trading.

Bitcoin relies on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to secure wallet addresses and validate ownership. But ECC, like RSA, is vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm — a quantum computing method capable of cracking the discrete logarithm problem, the core math behind Bitcoin's private keys.
What to know:
Quantum computing could break current cryptographic systems within the next decade, posing risks to online banking and blockchain security.A Capgemini report highlights that 70% of large organizations are preparing for post-quantum cryptography, but only 2% of cybersecurity budgets are allocated to this transition.Bitcoin's reliance on elliptic curve cryptography makes it vulnerable to quantum attacks, with over 25% of coins at risk if quantum computers advance.
A new report by Capgemini warns that quantum computing may break the widely used public-key cryptographic systems within the next decade — threatening everything from online banking to blockchain security.

The report did not single out bitcoin but focused on encryption systems such as RSA and ECC — the same cryptographic primitives that underpin crypto wallets, transaction signatures, and key security in most blockchains.

Bitcoin relies on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to secure wallet addresses and validate ownership. But ECC, like RSA, is vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm — a quantum computing method capable of cracking the discrete logarithm problem, the core math behind bitcoin's private keys.

Capgemini’s findings were based on a survey of 1,000 large organizations across 13 countries. Of those, 70% are either preparing for or actively implementing post-quantum cryptography (PQC) — a new class of algorithms designed to resist quantum attacks.
Yet only 15% of respondents were considered “quantum-safe champions,” and just 2% of cybersecurity budgets globally are allocated toward this transition.

“Every encrypted asset today could become tomorrow’s breach,” the report warned, referring to so-called “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks. These involve stockpiling encrypted data now in hopes that quantum computers can break it later — a real risk for any blockchain with exposed public keys.
In bitcoin’s case, that includes over 25% of all coins, which have revealed their public keys and would be immediately vulnerable if Q-Day — the hypothetical moment quantum machines can break modern encryption — arrives.

Earlier this week, a draft proposal by Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp and other researchers outlined a phased plan to freeze coins secured by legacy cryptography, including those in early pay-to-pubkey addresses like Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallets.
The idea is to push users toward quantum-resistant formats before attackers can sweep dormant funds unnoticed.
While the timeline for Q-Day remains uncertain, Capgemini’s report notes that breakthroughs in quantum error correction, hardware design, and algorithm efficiency have accelerated over the past five years. In some scenarios, researchers believe a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) could emerge before 2030.

Meanwhile, governments are acting. The U.S. NSA plans to deprecate RSA and ECC by 2035, and NIST has finalized several PQC algorithms like Kyber and Dilithium for public use, Capgemini said.

Cloudflare, Apple, and AWS have begun integrating them, but as of Friday no major blockchain network (i.e. with tokens in the top ten by market capitalization) has made such moves.

As such, bitcoin’s quantum debate remains theoretical and all steps being taken are preemptive. But as institutions, regulators, and tech giants prepare for a cryptographic reset, the math behind crypto’s security may not hold forever.

The Ethereum price prediction for July 2025 is going strong with ETH selling at $2,515.99 lower by 3%. Despite the drop, the experts are bullish and predict a potential rally to $3,800. As institutions become more interested in it, stealth trades like Remittix are also gaining attention for their real-world impact and rising popularity.

Why Analysts Expect Ethereum To Surge Soon
Ethereum remains the leading smart contract platform, with a market cap presently at $303.5 billion. Its 24-hour trade volume is at present $16.28 billion but falling by 45.91%, reflecting broader market moderation.

Experts in different outlets point towards growing institutional investing, spot ETF talk, and layer-2 ecosystems growth like Arbitrum and Optimism as key driving tailwinds. With a cautious goal price of $3,800 by July 2025, ETH can grow rapidly if momentum takes up in Q4 2024.

Can Institutional Front-Running Keep Up with Retail Investors?
Individual investors are taking care, but institutions are moving quietly. Institutions like Fidelity and BlackRock have started making ETH-related plans, and acting early may compel typical investors to play catch-up.

This kind of “institutional front-running” is nothing new. We saw it happen in 2020–2021 when Bitcoin broke out. Today, analysts believe that it can repeat with ETH next. If history is any indication, the price forecast for Ethereum could cross $3,800 ahead of most people’s expectations.

Can Institutional Front-Running Keep Up with Retail Investors?
Remittix (RTX) is building a bridge between fiat and crypto that allows individuals to remit crypto like BTC, ETH, or XRP directly to bank accounts everywhere in the world — in minutes. It solves a massive pain point Ethereum hasn’t: real-time settlement and conversion into the fiat world.
RTX currently sells at $0.0811 with over 5478 million tokens sold and $15.9 million+ raised. The group has recently announced the forthcoming Remittix Wallet coming out Q3, and there is a live 50% token bonus during the presale — a big bonus as the project nears its $18M softcap.

Remittix’s in-the-real-world orientation and quick takeup are reminiscent of early-stage Stellar and XRP. But while ETH hasn’t addressed a mainstream problem, like global remittances and payments, RTX has. No wonder early adopters already think it’s an altcoin to watch leading into 2025.

Ethereum and Remittix: Two Very Different Use Cases, One Bullish Outlook
While institutional growth and technical innovation support the Ethereum price prediction, projects like Remittix are forging their own paths in real-world crypto utility.

With Ethereum staring at $3,800 and Remittix charging towards significant milestones, 2025 could turn out to be an annus mirabilis for both. One provides scale and legacy; the other, momentum and convenience. Savvy investors may prefer to have both of them — one for stability, the other for out-of-proportion growth prospects.

A whale who had held onto a Bitcoin fortune for 14 years on Friday started moving the enormous stash of 80,000 BTC—worth $8.6 billion at today's prices. 
The coins started moving in batches of 10,000 BTC, or about $1 billion in BTC, early morning New York time on Friday, data from Arkham Intelligence shows. By 11 a.m. Eastern Time, the $8.6 billion in crypto had been shifted to new addresses. 
Eagle-eyed blockchain observers were quick to point out on X that the movements came from an entity that had received the coins back in 2011 as "coinbase" transactions—the first transaction in a block created by miners. When miners create new blocks on the blockchain, they are rewarded with newly minted digital coins. 
CryptoQuant's head of research Julio Moreno told Decrypt: "It is the largest daily movement of coins aged 10 years or more in history." He added that the previous record for a whale that held onto crypto for this long was a transaction of 3,700 BTC, which pales in comparison.

Crypto analyst for CryptoQuant J.A. Maartun wrote on X: "In eight years of analyzing Bitcoin, I've never seen anything like this," noting that the entity linked to the Bitcoin addresses which made transactions on Friday has over the years held about 200,000 BTC at one point.

Conor Grogan, the director of America's biggest crypto exchange Coinbase, posted on X that the entity linked to the addresses had a fortune of $21.5 billion—making them one of the top five largest holders of Bitcoin in crypto history.

Grogan added that if he had to guess, the Bitcoin wallet likely belongs to an "OG miner," meaning someone who was very early to mining BTC on the network.

In the world of crypto, a whale is someone who holds a large amount of digital coins and tokens. A Bitcoin whale is usually defined by an entity that holds 1,000 BTC—worth $108 million at today's prices—or more.

Experts previously told Decrypt that although difficult to tell, whales are not always individual investors but also companies that got involved in mining crypto early. Though, given that the stash of coins moving today were acquired years before the industrial Bitcoin mining age, it's anyone's guess as to whether the holdings belong to a single person or group.

Bitcoin was recently trading for $107,895 per coin, according to CoinGecko, after dropping by nearly 2% over a 24-hour period. The leading cryptocurrency is about 4% down from the record high of $111,814 it set in May.

When whales start moving their coins after years of "HODLing," markets tend to move as investors expect imminent selling and therefore downward price action.

XRP has taken a significant step toward mainstream institutional recognition after its official inclusion in the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index.

While the move doesn’t yet translate to ETF holdings, it signals growing confidence in Ripple’s digital asset and strengthens XRP’s position in the evolving crypto market.

Nasdaq Embraces XRP in Expanded Crypto Index
Nasdaq’s decision to expand its Crypto US Settlement Price Index now includes XRP alongside Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and Stellar Lumens (XLM), broadening the index beyond its previous focus on only Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). The update went into effect on June 2, 2025, marking a pivotal development for Ripple XRP news and its long-term institutional outlook.
The index is tracked by the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (NCIQ), which currently provides market-cap weighted exposure to BTC and ETH under existing U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines. The ETF cannot yet hold XRP or the newly added assets due to regulatory limitations.
“Under current regulatory restrictions, the Trust is only permitted to hold Bitcoin and Ether,” Hashdex stated in a recent SEC filing. “It is not permitted to hold the new index constituents… creating the risk of potential tracking error.”

Despite this caveat, the index expansion is widely seen as a forward-looking move that could reshape the institutional XRP market once regulatory conditions evolve.
