This growth rate is almost twice that of the period from May to September 2022 (when the price of ETH rose from about $1,000 to $1,950).

Last week, Wall Street veteran strategist and Bitcoin long positions Tom Lee (Tom Lee) joined a little-known Bitcoin mining company transitioning into an Ethereum financial firm as an executive, drawing market attention. Bitwise Alpha strategy head Jeff Park interpreted this move as a sign that Ethereum investment logic is diverging from the Bitcoin investment narrative in the public stock market. The key distinction lies in utility (Utility): "Ethereum is a utility crypto asset," Park pointed out in a podcast on July 8, "Bitcoin is purely a store of value. And Ethereum has productivity - it can generate stake returns."

Tom Lee's name resonates throughout the financial world, hailed as the "Wall Street Oracle," having gained widespread attention for his precise market predictions and deep insights into technology stocks, Bitcoin, and other assets. As the founder of the analysis firm Fundstrat, he is both a well-known analyst in traditional markets and a staunch supporter of digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Recently, Lee was appointed as the chairman of the board for the mining company Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) and is involved in the company's launch of a $250 million Ethereum treasury strategy, attracting significant market attention.

In the context of Ethereum's Mainnet facing uneven execution efficiency and resource scheduling pressure, the EIP-7983 proposal put forward by Vitalik Buterin and Toni Wahrstaetter has entered the community discussion stage. This proposal advocates for setting a hard gas limit for each transaction, specifically 16,777,216 gas, to enhance network stability and execution efficiency. This idea has already been explored in proposals like EIP-7825, where developers attempt to introduce resource boundaries to lay the groundwork for modular development and performance optimization of Ethereum.

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) showed a mixed but optimistic trend midweek, with BTC remaining stable while ETH and XRP exhibited new bullish momentum.

Ethereum (ETH) is attracting significant interest from Wall Street firms, which are configuring their Crypto Assets portfolio with ETH while reducing their holdings of Bitcoin (BTC).

James Harris, the CEO of Finnish company Tesseract, recently made a bold prediction about the mid-term price movement of Ethereum. In an interview, he stated that he expects the price of ETH to reach $6,500 by the end of 2025, which would mean an astonishing 160% rise compared to the current price. Despite the optimistic predictions, some analysts remain cautious about the long-term trend of ETH.

Thus, this crypto assets spot ETF has achieved eight consecutive weeks of net fund inflow. In the past week, both ETH and SOL have seen a rise in this indicator, indicating new funds flowing into the crypto assets market. Among them, SOL has outperformed ETH, with their new market capitalizations reaching 6.2 billion USD (ETH) and 8.3 billion USD (SOL) respectively, demonstrating strong capital inflows into Solana.

Trump Media & Technology Group is further delving into the Crypto Assets space.

Ethereum is consolidating above $2,500, showing resilience amid broader market uncertainty. Although the bulls have successfully turned $2,500 from a resistance level to a support level, the price still faces significant pressure below $2,700. This range fluctuation has persisted since early May, and the coming days are likely to determine the next major movement for ETH and the entire altcoin market. The volume remains relatively stable, which aligns with the ongoing consolidation trend, but it may also indicate that volatility will rise significantly once a direction is established. If the daily closing price successfully breaks through the $2,600-$2,700 range, it could trigger a price surge toward $3,000 or even higher. Conversely, if it falls below $2,480, the bullish structure will fail, and market sentiment will shift.

As the cryptocurrency market begins to circulate expectations of a new round of "alts season", Ethereum (ETH) shows strong recovery signals against Bitcoin (BTC). Technical analysts point out that the ETH/BTC exchange rate chart is forming a key bullish pattern. Ethereum's potential strong performance also boosts the sentiment of the entire altcoin market. Currently, the total market capitalization of alts, excluding Bitcoin, is testing a critical historical rising trend support line. If historical patterns repeat, a successful breakout of the current resistance level is expected to push the total market capitalization of alts towards the $2 trillion mark. However, if there is resistance at this key level and a pullback occurs, it may indicate that the market needs to undergo one last pullback before initiating a sustained rise.

Gate News bot message, The cryptocurrency market displayed a modest bearish movement, with the total market capitalization maintaining stability amid decreased trading volumes. Bitcoin traded at $108,378, recording a 0.54% decline, while Ethereum settled at $2,551, down by 0.84%. The broader market

Recently, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a general fall, with mainstream tokens such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), DOGE, and Shib Inu (SHIB) all showing losses. This decline is mainly attributed to new concerns about a potential trade war, shaking investor confidence. Despite the market slump, several analysts remain bullish on the prospects of Bitcoin, Ethereum, DOGE, and SHIB. Some analysts point out that key indicators like MVRV (market capitalization to realized value ratio) are still below historical peaks. The continued increase in global liquidity suggests that the crypto bull run has not yet ended. They believe prices could break through $117,000 and are expected to reach the range of $140,000 to $170,000.

The price of Tron (TRX) hovers around 0.287 USD, having risen nearly 4% in the past week. The TRX network has processed over 13 billion transactions, handling more than 21 billion USD in USDT transfers weekly, surpassing Ethereum (ETH). The surge in trading activity is attributed to the integration of projects like the official meme coin TRUMP by President Trump and Plume's Skylink, indicating that the practicality and development momentum of the TRX ecosystem are strengthening.

The current price movement of Ethereum is at a critical moment. The ETH/USDT trading pair is testing the $2,590 high timeframe resistance level, a region that is technically significant as it perfectly aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level and the middle band of the current Fibonacci price channel. Although bullish momentum still exists, this area may create a short-term top, triggering a healthy technical pullback that lays the foundation for a larger breakout afterward. If the price successfully pulls back to the $2,226 area and finds support there, it will complete a potential butterfly harmonic pattern, paving the way for the price to target the $3,200 level. The prerequisite for this scenario is that the support level holds effectively, and trading volume significantly increases in the next round of upward movement.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently officially accepted the application for a Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Trump Media, marking the start of the agency's clock to approve or reject the proposed fund. This application is not only a significant development in the cryptocurrency market but also signifies a deep integration of crypto assets with U.S. politics. The ETF proposes to offer investors exposure to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) through stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange Arca, supported by crypto assets, with 75% allocated to Bitcoin and 25% allocated to Ethereum.

After successfully breaking through the key resistance level of $2,520, the Ethereum price has started a new round of pump, becoming a bullish signal for ETH. Currently, the price is undergoing a technical pullback, and after gaining momentum, it is expected to challenge the area above $2,580 again. In addition, a decisive breakthrough of the $2,600 resistance may push the price up to the $2,650 resistance level.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently stated that he is re-evaluating his long-held preference for permissive software licenses and advocating for a broader adoption of the "Copyleft" licensing framework. He believes that the open-source ecosystem is entering a more competitive and centralized era. Buterin's remarks come at a time when the artificial intelligence (AI) development and blockchain development communities are engaged in intense debates over licensing models. There are concerns that foundational innovations risk being controlled by a small group of dominant players. For crypto users focused on the future of decentralization and censorship-resistant technologies, the choice of open-source license directly impacts the openness and fairness of the ecosystem.

Today (8th) during the Asian early trading session, the price of Ethereum (ETH) remains stable above $2,500. This follows Bit Digital's (BTBT) announcement of investing $172 million, along with the proceeds from the sale of 280 BTC, increasing its treasury Holdings to 100,603 ETH. Previously, CF Benchmarks predicted that the number of companies integrating Ethereum and Solana (SOL) on their balance sheets would grow tenfold.

According to Jinse Finance, Anthony Sassano (@sassal0x), the founder of The Daily Gwei, stated on X that the number of ETH purchased by companies holding Ethereum as their treasury asset has surpassed the amount of newly issued ETH.

During the same period, Ethereum treasury companies purchased over 200,000 ETH.

Bitcoin today (8) is experiencing a pullback, currently reported at around 108,000 USD, after previously facing strong dumping pressure near the 110,500 USD mark, indicating the short positions' determination to defend this important resistance level. However, for the long positions, an encouraging signal is that the price remains above the MA, reflecting the firmness of investor sentiment and the current lack of profit taking.

Ethereum(ETH) is making a strong challenge against the 2600 USD resistance level, attempting to end the sideways fluctuation since early May. A successful breakout will signal the start of a new bull run, while failure may trigger a pullback.

The U.S. government has transferred Ethereum (ETH) worth $219,000 to an exchange, raising concerns in the market about a potential dumping. Although the current ETH price has not yet been affected, there are still many unanswered questions in the community. On the surface, this amount seems insignificant compared to the federal government's $650 million ETH reserves. However, this marks the first time since President Trump took office that assets have been transferred to an exchange, which could be seen as a warning sign.
