"2025 has been messy for Ethereum. In early October, ETH rode BTC's wave past $4,300 as Bitcoin hit a new all-time high. That rally lasted about five minutes. Geopolitical tensions triggered a market-wide sell-off, and Ethereum dropped to the mid-$3,000s within days. But the bounce was just as fast. Institutional buyers stepped in hard, pushing ETH back above $4,000 by mid-October. Then came the inevitable profit-taking. By late October, ETH had slipped back below $4,000 and was trading near $3,800 on Halloween."
"Ethereum bulls think this dip is just a rest stop before the next leg up. Here's what's backing that confidence: Institutional Money Still Flowing: Wall Street hasn't given up on ETH. The launch of Ethereum ETFs this year opened the gates to mainstream capital in a big way. Over the summer, Ethereum ETFs pulled in record inflows . More than $2.8 billion poured in during a single week in August, crushing Bitcoin fund flows at the time."
Ethereum has experienced significant volatility in 2025, rallying above $4,700 in August then sliding sharply in October and currently hovering in the high $3,000s. A rapid October surge past $4,300 coincided with Bitcoin's all-time high but reversed quickly after geopolitical tensions triggered broad selling. Institutional buyers and Ethereum ETFs delivered large inflows, including over $2.8 billion in one August week. Network upgrades such as the Fusaka upgrade slated for December 3 aim to boost throughput and lower gas fees. Investors remain divided on whether ETH can break and hold above the $4,000 psychological threshold amid profit-taking and macro risks.
