Ethereum is making a strong breakthrough, with institutional ETF capital flow exceeding Bitcoin, and multiple price indicators continue to consolidate confidence in the potential to approach a new ATH.
Ethereum is currently recording many positive signals from ETF capital flow and large institutional investor buying movements, indicating the potential to touch a historic milestone, although profit-taking risks still exist.
- Ethereum ETF capital flow surpasses Bitcoin, with large institutions like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale strongly increasing ETH purchases.
- The number of new buyers and long-term investors with confidence in ETH is clearly increasing.
- Derivative indicators, price, and momentum are all leaning towards an upward trend, with ETH approaching a historic ATH level.
What Makes Ethereum the Focus of Institutional ETF Capital?
Ethereum currently leads in ETF investment capital from large financial institutions, for the first time surpassing Bitcoin according to Arkham Intelligence data in August 2025.
Data from Arkham Intelligence shows that in a recent trading day, Ethereum ETF products attracted $461 million, while Bitcoin only reached $404 million.

This turning point stems from investment funds and large corporations significantly increasing their ETH portfolio allocation. BlackRock bought $250 million of ETH, Fidelity followed with $130 million, and Grayscale added $60 million. This is one of the largest ETH net buying sessions since the beginning of 2025, showing that traditional financial circles are strongly turning their expectations towards Ethereum.
This trend reflects the maturity of the Ethereum ecosystem, as it becomes the center of DeFi, NFT applications, Layer 2 solutions... causing institutions to place long-term trust, despite short-term market fluctuations. According to the Fidelity Digital Assets report (2024), Ethereum is increasingly seen as a digital asset with practical value generation and long-term value preservation potential.

What is the development of technical indicators on Ethereum revealing?
ETH price is currently maintaining a strong level of 4,190 USD and remains above important support thresholds of the 9-day EMA and 21-day EMA.
The RSI index fluctuates around 69.8 – near the overbought zone, indicating that buying demand has not shown significant signs of decline. The MACD line also maintains a positive status, reinforcing the view of strong price momentum.
These indicators are consistent with the long-term upward trend, especially when selling pressure has not created sufficient force to push the price away from the main technical support zone.
How far is ETH from reaching its historical ATH?
Currently, Ethereum is less than 700 USD away from its previous ATH (4,891 USD), which is approximately 17% from establishing a new price record.
If ETF capital flow and technical factors remain strong, ETH could move towards the "price discovery" stage as early as 2025.

Previously, when ETH approached ATH, the market typically experienced fluctuations, but stable capital flow from institutional investors usually maintains the durability of the upward wave. The growth scenario depends heavily on the balance between selling pressure and ongoing new buying demand.
The ATH is not just a psychological marker but also an important technical resistance zone. If surpassed, Ethereum will enter a stage of establishing new value, opening up significant expectations across the digital asset market.
