Ethereum (ETH) Price

Ethereum introduces ERC-8004 to support AI agents, signaling a strategic shift toward AI-native infrastructure, yet ETH price remains unchanged amid market caution.

U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs saw a dramatic $28 million net inflow on January 28, 2025—reversing prior outflows—with BlackRock’s ETHA capturing 97% ($27.25M). This reflects surging institutional confidence, highlights the dominance of trusted asset managers in crypto adoption, and signals growing mainstream acceptance of Ethereum via regulated investment vehicles.

MegaETH’s mainnet is set to launch on February 9 following a successful stress test achieving 35,000 TPS, with 10.7 billion transactions — exceeding Ethereum’s total 10-year transaction volume.

Cryptocurrency investment firm Bitmine deployed $745 million into ETH staking in 18 hours, increasing its total staked ETH to ~2.58 million ($7.6B) — ~8% of all staked ETH. This landmark move signals strong institutional confidence in Ethereum’s proof-of-stake ecosystem, reduces liquid supply, enhances network security, and reflects a strategic shift toward yield-generating, infrastructure-level crypto participation.

Ethereum’s price fell below $3,000 after failing to sustain gains above $3,050, now trading under $2,980 and the 100-hour SMA. Key support lies at $2,880 and $2,740; resistance looms at $3,000, $3,050, and $3,120. Bearish MACD and RSI below 50 signal continued downside pressure.

Ethereum's non-empty wallet count surged 3.03% in January to a record 175.5 million — the highest among all digital assets — reflecting strong network adoption. Concurrently, exchange-held ETH supply declined amid rising staking interest, while ETH price rebounded above $3,000 after dipping below $2,800.

Ethereum's leverage ratio on Binance remains at a record high (~0.632), amplifying volatility and liquidation risks amid fragile price action near $3,000. Structural weakness, erratic taker behavior (Taker Buy-Sell Ratio swinging from 0.86 to 1.16), and consolidation between $2,800–$3,400 signal heightened sensitivity to minor price moves — suggesting potential for abrupt, disorderly moves unless strong catalysts emerge.

Ethereum-based USDT active addresses surged to a record ~300,000, signaling a major on-chain liquidity shift from centralized exchanges to DeFi and self-custody wallets—reflecting strategic capital repositioning amid Bitcoin's price consolidation and underscoring Ethereum's maturing role as crypto's liquidity hub.

Ethereum and Solana show tentative bullish rebounds, but their negative Buy/Sell Pressure Delta signals rising selling dominance, trend exhaustion, and heightened downside risk—potentially indicating a consolidation or accumulation phase, not yet a confirmed bottom. ETH remains stuck below $3,000 near a dense cost basis cluster.

The crypto market faces pivotal developments: XRP approaching $2, ETH regaining strength, and a major BTC price battle looming — all amid unusual market conditions and potential bullish breakout momentum.
