🚀 Ethereum Targets $4K as GENIUS Act Vote Ignites Explosive Rally

Ethereum's price is charging toward $4,000—fueled by bullish momentum as the GENIUS Act clears a critical vote. Here’s why traders are piling in.

The Regulatory Catalyst: The GENIUS Act’s progress signals potential crypto-friendly policy shifts, sending ETH buyers into a frenzy. Politicians finally catching up to 2017? Classic.

Technical Breakout: ETH/USD smashed through resistance levels like a meme coin hitting its first exchange listing. Next stop: $4K psychological barrier.

Market Sentiment Shift: Institutional flows and retail FOMO are converging—because nothing unites Wall Street and Reddit like chasing green candles.

Will it hold? Who knows. But for now, the bulls are in control—and even the SEC can’t slow this train. (Watch them try, though.)

GENIUS Act Vote Could Shift Ethereum Demand

Ethereum (ETH) was trading NEAR $2,975 as of press time, holding steady after a 17% gain over the last week. Traders are closely watching the US House, which is preparing to vote on the GENIUS Act. This bill could change how stablecoins are regulated and bring major capital to Ethereum.

The bill, which already passed the Senate on June 18, WOULD require stablecoin issuers to hold 1:1 reserves and register under federal guidelines. Anti-money laundering compliance would be mandatory. 

Meanwhile, the House is likely to approve the bill this week, with the platform showing a 95% chance of passage, per Polymarket forecasts. Citing the expected influx of institutional-grade capital if the law is adopted, analyst Ted noted: 

“ETH pumps if the GENIUS Act passes this week.” 

Alongside the GENIUS Act, two other crypto-focused bills are scheduled for debate this week. The CLARITY Act would define digital assets as either securities or commodities, potentially ending the long-standing SEC–CFTC dispute. 

The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, meanwhile, would prevent the rollout of a central bank digital currency in the United States, citing privacy concerns.

ETF Activity and Corporate Accumulation Rising

Ethereum’s recent momentum has been supported by growing institutional interest. Glassnode data shows that US-listed ethereum ETFs brought in 225,857 ETH in net inflows last week, the strongest since their launch. This follows a steady accumulation trend by major treasury holders.

In the past month alone, Ethereum treasury companies have acquired more than 545,000 ETH, with an estimated value exceeding $1.6 billion. On-chain indicators show consistent buying during market rallies. 

Notably, the current technical setup shows a confirmed breakout pattern, often described as a “bull flag,” with ETH holding above the key $3,000 level.

Liquidations Point to Shifting Sentiment

Over 130,000 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours, with total losses nearing $500 million, according to Coinglass data. Ethereum was the second-largest contributor to this number, with $106 million in wrecked long positions. 

If ETH can reclaim the $3,000 resistance with sustained buying, traders are monitoring $3,300 as the next one. A confirmed break could open a path toward $4,000.
