After Ethereum broke through the $4,000 mark, several key market signals emerged:
1. On-chain DEX trading volume continues to lead.
Ethereum DEXes have maintained their dominance in trading volume for four consecutive days.
Daily trading volume remains stable in the $3-4 billion range.
Major trading pairs are concentrated in stablecoins such as USDC and USDT.
2. Institutional capital inflows are accelerating.
Fundamental raised $5 billion specifically for ETH purchases.
Currently, 67 institutions hold over $12 billion in ETH reserves.
Spot ETFs continue to attract capital, with institutional holdings increasing by 127% in July.
3. On-chain metrics hit new highs.
Daily trading volume exceeded 1.87 million transactions.
Stablecoin supply reached $13.8 billion.
The number of active addresses remains high.
These data indicate that Ethereum's network usage and institutional recognition are continuing to grow. Although some smaller cryptocurrencies, such as CULT, experienced short-term surges following ETH's breakout, capital remains primarily concentrated in mainstream cryptocurrencies such as ETH.
