As the current bull market cycle continues, Ethereum‘s performance has been considered weak compared to other major altcoins like Dogecoin and XRP. With ETH unable to curb a major rally, many investors and traders are starting to demonstrate extreme caution toward the digital asset.

Investors Becoming More Cautious Of Ethereum

Ethereum’s persistent negative performances have triggered caution among investors and traders. Advanced on-chain data analytics and investment platform Alphractal highlighted that identified the waning investors’ sentiment, indicating a decline in risk appetite.

This shift in market dynamics shows that there is a slowdown in aggressive buying as investors and traders adopt a more protective strategy in light of heightened volatility and worrying macroeconomic conditions. 

With the risk appetite for Ethereum decreasing, this raises the question of whether the present hesitancy may soon lead to additional price corrections or consolidation. However, the situation for ETH seems to be more delicate.

After navigating Ethereum’s Normalized Risk Metric (NRM), the platform stated that the risk appetite has dropped to the 0.38 level. It is important to note that this level has been seen in the past, leading to periods of high volatility. When the metric’s value rises to 1, it indicates heightened risk and overbought conditions. Meanwhile, when the value drops closer to 0, it implies potential buying opportunities.

Furthermore, Alphractal pointed out that the current level of the normalized risk metric is similar to past market cycles like the 2019 and 2020 cycles. During these past periods, strong price fluctuations were seen in ETH, alternating between steep corrections and sharp rallies.

In the event that past results repeat themselves, the altcoin may go through a period of extreme volatility, which Alphractal believes would present investors with opportunities and risks. Since several crypto experts predict an impending major surge for ETH, the development could allow investors to position themselves for notable gains in the short term.

Huge Capital Flowing Into ETH-Based Products

Recent volatility may be hindering bullish momentum, but Ethereum-based products particularly the spot ETH Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have seen persistent capital inflows. Market expert and Economist MilkyBull Crypto reported that ETH recently recorded its largest inflows since December 2024.

Such substantial inflow suggests a resurgence in investors’ confidence in the altcoin. It also reflects heightened accumulation from retail and institutional participants even as Ethereum struggles to maintain an upside trajectory.

Given the emergence of bullish structures on ETH’s chart, the asset could be poised to rebound toward higher levels shortly. Titan of Crypto, a technical analyst recently predicted that Ethereum’s most explosive breakout is on the horizon.

Looking at the chart, the altcoin has formed a similar pattern to Bitcoin’s past cycle setup that sparked its major breakout to a new all-time high. As a result, the analyst expects ETH to mirror the same movement, targeting new highs in the coming months.

Ethereum กำลังได้รับความสนใจอย่างมากจากนักลงทุนสถาบันโดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่ง BlackRock ที่ทุ่มเงินประมาณ 280 ล้านดอลลาร์ การลงทุนนี้สะท้อนให้เห็นว่าเทคโนโลยีบล็อกเชนได้รับการยอมรับ

วาฬแห่ซื้อ Ethereum สัญญาณแห่งความเชื่อมั่นจากสถาบัน

Crypto Daily รายงานว่า BlackRock, Inc. บริษัทจัดการสินทรัพย์สัญชาติอเมริกันได้ทุ่มเงินประมาณ 280 ล้านดอลลาร์ซื้อ Ethereum ETFs 

การซื้อดังกล่าวเป็นสัญญาณสำคัญที่บ่งบอกถึงทัศนคติที่เปลี่ยนแปลงไปของสถาบันต่าง ๆ ที่มีต่อคริปโตเคอร์เรนซี การเดิมพันครั้งใหญ่ครั้งนี้แสดงให้เห็นถึงความเชื่อมั่นที่เพิ่มขึ้นและปูทางไปสู่การยอมรับในวงกว้างมากขึ้น

ก่อนหน้านี้ BlackRock ได้เปิดตัว Ethereum Trust ซึ่งเป็นช่องทางให้ผู้ลงทุนรายใหญ่สามารถเข้าถึง Ethereum ได้โดยไม่ต้องจัดการเหรียญด้วยตนเอง การเคลื่อนไหวนี้จะเป็นตัวกระตุ้นให้ Hedge Funds, Pension Funds และกองทุนอื่น ๆ เข้ามาลงทุนในตลาดคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีมากขึ้น

ความก้าวหน้าของ Ethereum ได้รับการยอมรับ

การลงทุนในผลิตภัณฑ์ที่อิงกับ Ethereum ของ BlackRock ส่งสัญญาณที่ชัดเจนว่า DeFi, Layer-2 Solutions และ Smart Contracts มีความก้าวหน้ามากพอที่จะดึงดูดเงินทุนจากสถาบันได้ 

ล่าสุดนี้ Ethereum ได้ประกาศกำหนดการทดสอบ Ethereum Pectra ซึ่งเป็นการอัปเกรดเครือข่ายเพื่อเพิ่มขีดจำกัดการ Stake สำหรับ Validators และปรับปรุงประสบการณ์ผู้ใช้งาน นี่แสดงให้เห็นว่า Ethereum มุ่งมั่นที่จะพัฒนาเทคโนโลยีของตนเองอยู่เสมอ

การไหลเข้าของเงินทุนนี้มักจะส่งผลดีต่อโทเค็นอื่น ๆ เนื่องจากเงินทุนใหม่จะไหลจาก Ethereum ไปยัง Altcoins ซึ่งเป็นเหตุผลที่วาฬไม่เพียงแต่กักตุน Ethereum เท่านั้น แต่ยังจับตามองโทเค็นขนาดเล็กแต่มีศักยภาพ เช่น Dogecoin อีกด้วย

Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis.

Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics.

When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…)

Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life.

In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps.

Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think’s probably unfeasible, I’ve done already a hundredfold.”

PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp.
