Ethereum (ETH) has recently staged a 'cryptocurrency legend'! 🚀
An early ICO participant invested $310,000 to acquire 1 million ETH, and after 8 years of 'sleeping', he has now 'awoken', with these tokens valued at $4.3 billion! Recently, he used 150,000 ETH (approximately $656,000), as if to say: 'I’m back!'
ETH has surged to a historic high of $4946 this year, and Standard Chartered predicts it will reach $8000 by 2026, with a long-term potential of even $35,000! With ETF inflows, developer enthusiasm, and a 'boiling' community, will ETH create a new batch of 'millionaires'?
Let’s break down this wave of 'Ethereum frenzy'! 👀
📣 'Sleeping Billionaires': 310,000 turns into 4.3 billion, 150,000 ETH 'woke up'
Legendary story: In 2015, during the Ethereum ICO, someone bought 1 million ETH at a price of $0.31/coin, totaling $310,000. Now ETH has soared to $4,300 (September 6), this investment is worth $4.3 billion, with a return rate of over 13,000 times! This wallet, after sleeping for 8 years, recently transferred out 150,000 ETH ($656,000), like 'Sleeping Beauty' waking up to 'test the waters' of the market.
'Awakening' speculation: This 'billionaire' may have 'retrieved the private key' to re-enter the scene, or may have seen ETH reach a new high of $4,946 and 'try their hand'. Regardless, this operation has made the crypto circle shout: 'This is the right posture for early investment!'
📊 ETH 'soars' in 2025: New high of $4,946, is $8,000 in sight?
Price 'comeback': ETH rises from 'slump' in 2021 to 'full recovery' in 2025, hitting a historical high of $4,946.05 on September 4 (CoinGecko), current price $4,300 (September 6). Increased by 1.2% in the past 24 hours, up 0.7% weekly, up 87.3% since September 2024, though down 0.5% in the last 14 days, but the upward trend is 'steady as a rock'.
ETF 'rocket fuel': Farside Investors data shows, in August ETH spot ETF net inflow of $1.84 billion (EETH leads, Grayscale outflow slows), institutions 'buy buy buy' pushing ETH to the top. Strong inflow on September 3 shows funds are 'warming up'.
Standard Chartered 'divine prediction': Geoff Kendrick from Standard Chartered says that ETH may soar to $8,000 in 2026, long-term target $26,000-$35,000! $8,000 is just a 'stepping stone', can ETH 'fly out of six digits'?
🌎Why can ETH still 'create wealth'?
Developer 'top flow': ETH is 'leading the way' in the decentralized application (DApp) field, with a surge in developer adoption rate (Electric Capital report: in 2025, ETH DApps will occupy 65% market share). DeFi, NFT, smart contracts, ETH is the 'Windows of the blockchain world'.
Community 'boiling': ETH community activity is off the charts (over 100,000 daily interactions on #Ethereum topic on X), anticipation of Fusaka network upgrade boosts sentiment, like giving ETH a 'rocket engine'.
Market 'wind direction': If BTC reaches $1 million by 2030 (ARK Invest prediction), ETH may follow and break $100,000 (VanEck estimates $22,000 in 2027). ETF inflows + adoption rate + community enthusiasm, ETH's 'wealth creation machine' is operating at full speed!
💹 Weekend trend: Can ETH continue to 'charge'?
Bullish scenario: Current price of ETH is $4,300, standing firm at the $4,200 support (100 moving average on the hourly chart). If it breaks $4,500 (August high), it may charge towards $4,800, or even return to $4,946. If ETF inflows continue, coupled with interest rate cut expectations (September 18 Federal Reserve meeting), $8,000 is not a dream!
Bearish risk: If it drops below $4,200, it may retest $4,100 (50% Fibonacci level) or the psychological barrier of $4,000. Macro factors (trade war, geopolitical conflicts) may cause volatility, need to keep an eye on the dollar index (DXY, currently 96.5, correlation -0.3).
Technical signals: Hourly MACD is bullish, RSI 60+, short-term momentum is 'strong'. 20-day EMA ($4,600) is the resistance 'ceiling', breaking through requires new capital 'assistance'.
💡 Key points: ETH's 'wealth creation strategy'
‘Billion Legend’: 310,000 turns into 4.3 billion, early ICO players 'wake up', 150,000 ETH transferred out to 'ignite' market sentiment.
Price 'soars': New high of $4,946 in 2025, current price $4,300, ETF inflows + developer enthusiasm 'adds fuel'.
Standard Chartered predicts: $8,000 in 2026, long term $26,000-$35,000, ETH may create 'new millionaires'.
Technical 'green light': $4,200 support is solid, $4,500 is key resistance, breaking $4,800 requires 'double buff' of ETF + interest rate cuts.
Macro 'alert': Trade war, strong dollar may trigger a correction, $4,000 is the 'bottom line'.
☑️ Summary: Will ETH 'create wealth' in the next wave?
The 'wealth creation myth' of Ethereum turning 310,000 into 4.3 billion makes people envious, with a current price of $4,300 + a forecast target of $8,000, igniting the 'millionaire dream'! ETF inflows, developer frenzy, community 'boiling', ETH is like a 'rocket car' racing towards new highs. If it holds $4,200 this weekend, $4,500 and even $4,800 are possible, but macro 'black swan' risks must be guarded against.
Traders, keep an eye on ETF data (Farside, SoSoValue) and interest rate cut signals on September 18, manage your positions, the 'wealth creation party' for ETH may just be getting started!
