While the data was mixed and inflation remains above the Federal Reserve&#8217;s 2% target, market participants lifted bets on the U.S. central bank trimming interest rates at its next meeting in September.<\/p>\n<p>Boosting ether in particular was a new massive leg higher in the growing corporate treasury strategy movement. Already the owner of roughly $5 billion in ETH, Tom Lee&#8217;s Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) disclosed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/business\/2025\/08\/12\/tom-lee-s-bitmine-aims-to-raise-as-much-as-usd20b-for-more-eth-buys\">plans to raise up to $20 billion<\/a> in capital for further purchases.<\/p>\n<p>The move extends a months-long rally for the Ethereum network\u2019s native token, which also continues to outperform bitcoin after years of severe relative weakeness. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/ETHBTC\/\">The ETH\/BTC ratio<\/a> rose above 0.37 on Tuesday, now higher by nearly 50% over the past month, though still lower by 15% year-over-year.<\/p>\n<p>A key driver in recent weeks has been surging inflows into U.S. spot ether exchange-traded funds. On Monday, ether ETFs saw a record $1 billion in daily inflows, again surpassing their bitcoin equivalents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEthereum\u2019s outperformance today, with a gain of over 4% against Bitcoin\u2019s muted move, reflects the market\u2019s focus on its own set of powerful catalysts,\u201d said Axel Rudolph, senior technical analyst at IG. \u201cInstitutional inflows into US spot ETH ETFs following the US&#8217;s CPI print, coupled with growing confidence in the network\u2019s recent upgrades, are proving far more compelling for investors than the broader macro-driven momentum underpinning bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Supporters have increasingly dubbed Ethereum \u201cthe blockchain of Wall Street,\u201d pointing to its central role in tokenizing assets, hosting decentralized finance platforms and powering settlement systems that resemble traditional market infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>If the Fed delivers the rate cut traders are betting on, the combination of looser monetary policy, strong ETF demand and strategic positioning by large investors could further fuel ETH\u2019s run \u2014 although, as with past rallies, volatility may prove just as intense on the way down.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ether (ETH) has climbed 5% in the past 24 hours to $4,470, its highest price since December 2021.
