Overview

  • Ethereum climbed to a five-month high above $3,600, propelled by spot ether ETFs logging $602 million in net inflows on Thursday and a single-day record of $726.7 million a day earlier.
  • SharpLink Gaming has amassed 280,000 ETH (about $884 million) while BitMine Immersion Technologies holds over 300,000 ETH, marking a growing trend of public companies treating ethereum as a treasury asset.
  • Ethereum supply on centralized exchanges has declined roughly 34% year-to-date to 7.22 million ETH, and approximately 29% of the total supply is now staked, reducing circulating availability.
  • The U.S. House passed the GENIUS Act along with companion crypto oversight bills, creating the first federal framework for stablecoins and sending the measures to President Trump’s desk.
  • Total cryptocurrency market capitalization topped $4 trillion, driven by bitcoin’s $2.4 trillion and ethereum’s $440 billion valuations, underscoring surging institutional demand.
