The former CEO\u2019s comments came shortly after ETH surged to an intraday high of $3,822, its strongest level since late 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Hayes\u2019 tweet quickly sparked engagement. Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine Immersions, a mining company that recently shifted its treasury strategy toward ETH, responded with \u201cgood idea.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">good idea<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FSInsight.com (@fundstrat) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fundstrat\/status\/1947249474943774791?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">July 21, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Hayes followed up, noting that Lee\u2019s TradFi reach could help accelerate the price surge, subtly encouraging the firm to ramp up its ongoing purchases.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Other commenters joined in with optimism, pushing the \u201cpump\u201d narrative and cheering for the \u201c$5K ETH\u201d goal. Some, however, painted $4,000 as a more reasonable target for the week, saying that $5,000 mark, which would make a fresh all-time high for the asset, might be more achievable in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, ETH will either reach $4K or push toward $5K, depending on several factors coming together to keep the ongoing momentum alive.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Ethereum hit $5k?<\/h2>\n<p>Ethereum has climbed 24% over the past week and 56% over the past month. To reach $5,000 by Friday, it would need another 32% move.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While ambitious, this is not impossible. A recent CoinShares report indicates that institutional capital is pouring into Ethereum, with $2.12 billion in inflows recorded just last week. Total 2025 inflows now stand at $6.2 billion, already surpassing all of 2024. These figures now account for roughly 23% of Ethereum\u2019s total assets under management, marking a strong year so far.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Ethereum-tracking ETFs are also thriving, pulling inflows of $2.18 billion. This marks the fund\u2019s biggest since inception, showing surging demand. Corporate treasuries are following suit, with billions of dollars flowing into Ethereum through large-scale purchases by major institutions. Two ETH-focused treasury firms recently announced combined purchases exceeding $2 billion and signaled plans to acquire even more.<\/p>\n<p>The positive trend signals potential for ETH. If this level of accumulation continues, and ETH decisively breaks above the $3,800-$4,000 zone Hayes\u2019 $5,000 target could gain real momentum.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes is pushing a bold price target for ETH and challenging the crypto community to make it happen.
