Ethereum’s Been Dipped, But Institutions Are Going All In
While Ethereum took a bit of a breather—pulling back over 10% from its mid-August peak—institutions clearly didn’t see this as a red flag. In fact, they dove in deeper as staking and ETF inflows surged.
Ethereum’s Institutional Momentum Looks Unstoppable
Today’s moves speak louder than tweets: staking just broke 30% of total ETH supply, marking one hell of an institutional adoption milestone. Even ETFs are flexing hard—Ethereum funds pulled in $443.9M on August 25 alone, with BlackRock’s ETHA leading the charge.
On the predictive side, Standard Chartered is now eyeing an ETH price of $7,500 by year-end, crystalizing confidence in long-term structural value amid these big plays.
Ether’s retrace from its ATH reflects that post-run cool-down, not a trend reversal. Institutions piling in via staking and ETFs—even as DeFi TVL lags—signals a maturing ecosystem. Put simply, while the retail hype fades, serious money is quietly setting up shop for the next wave.
