Ethereum Foundation-Linked Wallet Dumps 4,094 ETH as Prices Soar—Smart Move or Missed Opportunity?

Whale alert: A wallet tied to the Ethereum Foundation just unloaded 4,094 ETH during the latest price surge. Was it profit-taking or panic selling? Here's what the blockchain won't tell you.

Timing the top—or getting rekt? While retail FOMO buyers piled in, this institutional player cashed out. Classic 'buy the rumor, sell the news'—or just another case of whales playing hot potato with your bags?

Bonus jab: Meanwhile, Wall Street still can't decide if crypto is 'digital gold' or a 'speculative asset'—maybe because their compliance departments haven't finished the PowerPoint yet.

Ethereum (ETH) Surges to Yearly High

Ethereum has been trading near the $4,600 level since yesterday after gaining around 8.6% yesterday alone. This move can be traced to positive sentiment around the cryptocurrency as more institutions and individuals grow confidence in its potential. ETH is now sitting around roughly 5.7% below its all-time high (ATH) of $4,891, and we could expect more volatility in the coming days.

While Bitcoin has recently created a new ATH, Ethereum has shown more positive year-to-date performance. As of press time, Ethereum was up over 28.21% since the beginning of the year, beating Bitcoin’s gains of 27.40%.

Ethereum treasury firms, investment firms, and overall growth in adoption of Ethereum have been the fuel for these performances, and we can expect more positive performance as we see more ETH inflows and ETH treasury firms keep buying more. 

Two days ago, spot ETH ETFs witnessed a record daily inflow of $1.02 billion, followed by a daily inflow of $523.92M yesterday. This indicates that while some profit-taking is occurring, investors are still putting more money into the digital asset.
