ETH Momentum Surges!

The stars are aligning for ETH. BlackRock bought 100,000+ ETH – Its 2nd largest daily purchase ever, pushing its spot ETH ETF holdings to 1.35M ETH ($3.7B).

• Trump’s ETH Bet – Trump holds $200M+ ETH and continues to accumulate more, with Eric Trump vocally shilling ETH on X.

• Ethereum Staking ETF Incoming – Institutional demand is set to surge.

• Vitalik’s Upgrades – Lower fees, better staking, and stronger burns = bullish supply dynamics.

• Big Banks Are Building on ETH – Deutsche Bank, UBS, and major players are moving in and building on ETH.

• Commodity Advantage – ETH is the only smart contract platform with commodity status and Spot ETF support.

• ETF inflows : ETH ETF inflows are consistently surpassing or matching BTC inflows over the past few weeks, signaling keen institutional interest.

Ethereum’s momentum is undeniable. However, despite this, institutions have been shorting ETH like there is no tomorrow. Short positioning in Ethereum is now up +40% in ONE WEEK and +500% since November 2024. This could be because institutions are hedging their spot positions for now, and a short squeeze could be possible soon.

Measuring the 2025 Benchmark!

It’s been more than a month in 2025, and below is the performance benchmark for an average risk-averse portfolio :

• BTC: +2%

• ETH: -16%

• SOL: +3%

Only 5.3% of tokens on Binance are up this year (18 out of 341)

Average YTD return for tokens on Binance: -37%

Bitcoin dominance is over 61% right now, which is a cycle high, causing altcoins to still outperform BTC.

We expect this trend to reverse sometime in H1 2025, with alts starting to outperform BTC leading to an alt-season.
