Ethereum ETF Inflows Drive Rally; Targets $4K Now, $16K by 2025
Ethereum ETF inflows surged from July through August, lifting ETH from $2,400 to about $3,300 as robust spot inflows and corporate demand fuelled its rally. Net flows into Ethereum ETFs were positive on all but three days since July 1, while asset managers like SharpLink continue accumulating ETH regardless of price. Glassnode’s on-chain Net Unrealized Profit/Loss metric remains below last bull-run highs, indicating room for further gains. Standard Chartered sets a $4,000 year-end price target, and BitMine’s Tom Lee forecasts Ethereum could hit $16,000 by 2025. The broader altcoin market broke above $1.2 trillion resistance, reflecting growing bullish sentiment as traders rotate capital. Traders should monitor Ethereum ETF inflows, on-chain metrics and the $4,000 resistance level to refine entry and exit strategies.
Bullish
The sustained net inflows into Ethereum ETFs and continued corporate accumulation signal strong institutional demand, supporting short-term price momentum. On-chain metrics like NUPL remaining below previous highs suggest further upside potential. The break of key altcoin market resistance at $1.2 trillion further confirms bullish sentiment and capital rotation from ETH to altcoins could reinforce buying pressure. Medium to long-term price targets from Standard Chartered ($4,000) and Tom Lee ($16,000 by 2025) underscore analyst confidence in Ethereum’s growth trajectory. Traders can expect these catalysts to maintain a bullish bias for ETH, though the $4,000 resistance will be crucial for near-term strategy.
