Ethereum has recorded significant growth, as its price rose by 250% over the past 120 days to $4,788, reaching the highest level since November 2021, according to TradingView data. The growth was supported by several factors, including expectations of a US Federal Reserve interest rate cut following the release of the latest CPI data, reported CoinDesk.
Ethereum breaks 4-year price record
A major boost came from Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), led by Tom Lee, which already holds approximately $5 billion in ETH and plans to raise up to $20 billion for additional purchases. This strategic move confirms the growing trend of using Ethereum in corporate treasury strategies.
ETH is also outperforming Bitcoin after years of relative weakness. The ETH/BTC ratio rose to 0.0387, representing an increase of 120% over the last 4 months. Back in April, the ratio of these two cryptocurrencies was only 0.0176.

Ethereum is solidifying its position as one of the major cryptocurrencies, with U.Today magazine reporting that its price could reach $25,000 by 2028. Standard Chartered raised its targets, predicting $7,500 by the end of 2025 and $25,000 by the end of 2028. This optimism is based on recently announced corporate reserve accumulation plans.
Why is ETH price rising?
A key factor in the growth is the record inflow of capital into US spot ETH ETFs. On Monday, it even reached $1 billion in a single day, again surpassing Bitcoin ETFs, according to Farside data.

Ethereum is increasingly referred to as the “Wall Street blockchain” due to its role in asset tokenization, support for DeFi platforms, and operation of transaction settlement systems similar to traditional financial infrastructure.
Rising corporate reserves and strategic positions could support long-term ETH growth, although reaching prices like $25,000 would require a significantly higher inflow of capital than currently present in the market. History shows that sharp price increases can be accompanied by high volatility, which must be considered when making investment decisions.
Ethereum is thus increasingly positioned as an asset that combines technical innovation with institutional interest, opening potential for further growth and broader adoption in the global financial environment.
- Important note: The fact that Ethereum is rising sharply does not mean you should immediately invest a large amount of capital. High increases are often accompanied by corrections, and the higher a cryptocurrency rises, the greater the potential fall. Invest responsibly and only what you can afford to lose.
