đ Ethereum Price Surge: Institutional Whale Gobbles Up More ETH Than Minted This Month â $10,000 Target in Sight for 2025
Wall Street meets crypto againâthis time with a whale-sized appetite for ETH. A single firm just vacuumed up more Ethereum than the network minted all month, sending shockwaves through DeFi circles.
Bullish or reckless? Either way, their bet's clear: $10,000 per ETH isn't a moonboy fantasyâit's a 2025 target. Meanwhile, traditional finance still can't decide if crypto is 'digital gold' or a glorified Ponzi scheme.
Key takeaways:
- Institutional demand now outpaces ETH issuance
- Supply shock dynamics could fuel next leg up
- $10K price target gains credibility (unlike your banker's 2% CD)
The smart money's voting with its wallet. The question isâare you still watching from the sidelines?
Ethereum Price Prediction: One Firm Just Bought More ETH Than the Ethereum Blockchain Issued Last Month
SharpLink now owns a grand total of 438,017 ETH (worth around $1.69 billion), while the amount it purchased exceeded Ethereumâs net issuance for the past 30 days, which stands at 72,797 ETH.

â Lookonchain (@lookonchain) July 28, 2025Another way of putting this is that ethereum is facing a supply squeeze, in that demand is rising to outstrip new issuance of tokens.
Proof of this comes from Ethereumâs rising price, which has increased by 163% since hitting a one-and-a-half-year low of $1,471 on April 9.
Much of this is the result of institutions buying into Ethereum ETFs, which currently account for $28.3 billion in total AUM.
This comfortably makes Ethereum the second-most popular crypto (after Bitcoin) with digital funds, and whatâs bullish is that ETH outstripped every other crypto (including Bitcoin) for inflows in the seven days to July 28th.

Such demand and volume is reflected in Ethereumâs price chart, which continues to signal big momentum.
This is evident in ETHâs indicators, which have reached their highest levels since early 2024 and also early 2021.
For example, the coinâs relative strength index (yellow) remains at a very high 77, having hit 85 only a couple of days ago.
Meanwhile, its MACD (orange, blue) has reached 300, which again is hugely bullish.
These indicators reflect sustained demand for ETH, and that momentum could help push Ethereum abovein the coming weeks, with a climb towardwell within reach.
This target becomes even more realistic if firms likecontinue accumulating and institutional inflows intoremain strong.
A continued rally in stock markets WOULD likely lift crypto alongside them â including Ethereum.
With these factors in play, a bullish case foris gaining traction, especially as Ethereum continues to dominate the LAYER 1 smart contract space.
Layer-Two Network Bitcoin Hyper Raises $5.6 Million in Presale: Next Market-Beating Altcoin?
As strong as Ethereum remains, many investors would be advised to maintain a diversified portfolio, so as to spread risk and increase exposure to potential upside.
This means allocating a portion of funds to new tokens and presale coins, the latter of which can often rally big once they list, especially if theyâve had big sales.
One token enjoying a popular sale right now is Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), a Solana-based token that has now raised just over $5.8 million in its ICO.
The reason for bitcoin Hyperâs growing popularity is that itâs preparing to launch a layer-two network for Bitcoin.
As an L2, it will bringer faster confirmation times and lower transaction fees, helping to tap into Bitcoinâs potential as a base layer for DeFi.
It harnesses Solanaâs VIRTUAL Machine to achieve its higher scalability, while it also uses zero-knowledge proofs to ensure greater security, speed and privacy.
Bitcoin holders will be able to bridge their BTC instantly to Bitcoin Hyper, where they will be able to stake their holdings or trade them on DEXes and DeFi platforms.
Such functionality promises to make Bitcoin Hyper one of the most exciting new platforms of the year, with investors able to join HYPERâs presale by going to the projectâs official website.
HYPER is currently selling at $0.01245, although this will rise at regular intervals until the sale ends.
