#Strong July rally: In July 2025, Ethereum jumped about 58%, nearing the $4,000 mark. Prediction markets estimate a 63.6% chance of it surpassing its all-time high (~$4,891) before year‑end, supported by bull signals like the golden cross, RSI, and ADX .

Institutional and corporate interest: Corporate treasuries have significantly increased holdings—from ~116,000 ETH at end-2024 to $3.5 billion)—drawn by ETH’s utility and staking yields (3–4%) .

Regulatory tailwinds: Favorable developments such as stablecoin legislation, the U.S. SEC’s “Project Crypto,” and supportive policies are boosting confidence in Ethereum, especially given its dominance in DeFi (59.5%), stablecoins (50%), and tokenization (54.8%) .$ETH $BTC
