- Large ETH holders increased their positions significantly, signaling confidence in the network’s medium-term growth outlook.
- Ethereum staking activity jumped after the Pectra upgrade, lowering circulating supply and reinforcing network commitment.
- Tokenized U.S. Treasuries on Ethereum reached $5 billion in May, reflecting growing institutional adoption of the blockchain.
Ethereum has surged from under $2,000 to nearly $2,700 in a matter of days, marking one of its strongest rallies in months. The recovery follows broader market momentum but is also supported by key on-chain and technical signals. The move has increased optimism that Ethereum could push toward the $3,000 level in the near term.
Accumulation behavior has been pronounced among those wallets that contain 10,000 – 100,000 ETH. Linked with institutional and high net worth investors, these wallets often book up ahead of significant market changes. Significant optimism about Ethereum’s prospects over the next few months is indicated by the rapid and significant increase in the holdings in these wallets.
Staking growth after network upgrade
While the Pectra upgrade of Ethereum has brought the Electra and Prague improvements together, staking activity has increased greatly. Staking contracts locking an increased amount of ETH decrease the volume of ETH for circulation. This has often resulted in upward pressure on Ethereum’s price, which shows increasing faith in investors’ faith in its enduring value and potential returns.
Ethereum continues to serve as a platform for real-world asset integration. Tokenized U.S. Treasury assets on the Ethereum blockchain rose by 12% in May alone, reaching $5 billion. This milestone indicates rising institutional adoption and supports Ethereum’s role in regulated financial infrastructure.
Technical structure confirms breakout
From a technical perspective, Ethereum has decisively moved above key moving averages, including the 50, 100, and 200 EMA levels. The high trading volume during this move adds further credibility to the rally. Despite a minor pullback on May 11, ETH remains above $2,500, which now acts as a support level for the next potential leg upward.
The Relative Strength Index shows elevated momentum, but it has not entered overbought territory. This suggests room for further upside. The current price structure, combined with investor positioning and network growth, indicates the possibility of Ethereum climbing closer to the $3,000 mark if support levels hold.
