ETH is trading just below its $4,878 record as institutional money floods into spot #ETFs with over $1 billion in single-day inflows. The second-largest cryptocurrency benefits from improved regulatory clarity and corporate treasury diversification away from #bitcoin -only strategies.
Standard Chartered analysts raised their year-end ETH target to $7,500, up from $4,000 previously. Industry leaders predict $6,000 in the near term, though profit-taking near record levels remains possible with 97% of holders currently in profit.
Recent policy changes, including 401(k) alternative asset access and new stablecoin rules under the #genius Act, provide institutional players with clearer participation frameworks. Corporate treasuries increasingly view $ETH diversification as a sound business strategy beyond single-asset approaches.
#Ethereum maintains roughly 58% market share in stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets. Analysts expect the broader upward move to continue if market conditions hold, despite potential pullbacks near all-time highs. #Institutional adoption is accelerating significantly
