The banks hold millions of crypto on their balance sheet and the demand for ETH remains high.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Experts at the bank predict a tenfold increase in Ethereum holdings of the companies, meaning that 10% of Ethereum\u2019s circulating supply could be held and controlled by the firms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Geoffrey Kendrick, Standard Chartered\u2019s head of digital assets is quoted in a note that the bank sent out to its investors on Tuesday:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThey may eventually end up owning 10% of all ETH, a 10x increase from current holdings.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ethereum purchases by BitMine, GameSquare, and SharpLink exceed $3.5 billion according to CoinGecko data, acting as a catalyst for the ETH price rally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Spot Ethereum ETFs have recorded net positive flows since July 7 as institutional investors gobble Ether faster than they did Bitcoin.

Chen says:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cEthereum has a competitive advantage in capturing a large share of this market. Institutional investors consider Ethereum the next emerging treasury asset after Bitcoin. Wall Street firms and the broader TradFi world are just warming up to the idea of Ethereum as a treasury reserve asset.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ignacio Palomera, CEO of Bondex, shares the bullish thesis and believes that Ether will have a key impact in the next 10 years. Palomera told Crypto.news:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWhen Ethereum first emerged in 2015, its narrative was often framed around its potential as a blockchain to be built on. 10 years later, Ethereum has more than served that purpose; it has drafted the playbook for anyone who wants to build a truly interoperable and decentralised ecosystem \u2013 a legacy and lasting impact far grander than initially anticipated.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Commenting on what\u2019s next for Ethereum, Palomera says:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThere is ample opportunity for continued development across the ecosystem; more releases, upgrades and innovations will be critical in maintaining Ethereum\u2019s continued success. To maintain its competitive edge, Ethereum must continue pushing the boundaries of scalability, efficiency and user experience so networks can continue to build and innovate. Ethereum\u2019s next decade promises to be just as, if not more, transformative.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Discussing Ethereum\u2019s 60% rally past the $3,800 level, Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget Wallet, told Crypto.news:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cEthereum\u2019s ~60% rally to above $3,800, driven by robust institutional inflows and strong on-chain demand, signals a potential structural shift, with the ETH\/BTC ratio breaking its 200-day average for the first time in over a year, indicating sustained outperformance. Institutional FOMO, whale accumulation, and ETF inflows, reaching $2.4B last week, underscore Ethereum\u2019s strength, particularly as it absorbs significant supply.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We predict ETH could reach $5,500\u2013$6,500 by Q4 2025, with a stretch target of $10,000 if institutional trends persist. This shift may not be permanent but reflects Ethereum\u2019s growing dominance in the current cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Jamie Elkaleh, Chief Marketing Officer at Bitget Wallet agrees and adds that the inflow story to crypto ETFs has tilted towards Ether, driven by yield-bearing staking mechanics. Ethereum, now considered the base layer for the internet has expanded its DeFi footprint and on-chain utility, competing with Bitcoin in terms of capital flow and investor interest. Elkaleh is convinced that institutions are strategically rotating capital into Ethereum, and this could drive higher gains in the altcoin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ethereum-price-analysis\">Ethereum price analysis\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Ethereum rallied 56% in nearly three weeks, between July 8 and 28, hitting $3,941, just shy of the $4,000, psychologically important level. Ethereum\u2019s rally could hit pause before another leg up, according to key momentum indicators on the daily timeframe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The December 2024 peak of $4,107 is a key level that Ethereum could re-test if the altcoin extends its gains. ETH is currently less than 10% away from the $4,100 level.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The previous all-time high is $4,878 and the $4,500 level is a key resistance on the path to a re-test of the important price levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The MACD flashes a red histogram bar below the neutral line, which implies the underlying momentum in the Ethereum price trend is negative. RSI reads 72, and once the indicator slips under 70, it will generate a sell signal.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14401309\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" ><\/source><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2168\" height=\"1542\" src=\"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1753896495_36_Three-reasons-why-Ethereum-rally-to-10K-dream-is-alive.png\" alt=\"Ethereum\">\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ETH\/USDT daily price chart | Source: Crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the event of a correction, Ethereum could find support at $3,466 and $3,066, S1 and S2 on the daily price chart.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"happy-birthday-to-ethereum\">Happy Birthday to Ethereum<\/h2>\n<p>Ethereum was created in 2015.
