Ethereum’s bullish momentum has accelerated into June 2025 as on-chain activity signals historic growth across key metrics. Price now trades at $4,000, supported by a $2.5 billion inflow on the previous Sunday—the largest since 2018. Simultaneously, over 35 million ETH are now locked in staking, marking an all-time high. Accumulator addresses, which track long-term holders, have also reached a record 22.8 million ETH, reinforcing Ethereum’s strong market foundation.

Besides the price action, staked ETH has surged steadily since July 2024. Back then, 33.25 million ETH were locked. By November, the number reached 35 million, coinciding with ETH trading around $3,600. Although price corrected sharply below $2,000 by March 2025, staking activity remained firm. Hence, market confidence held strong despite volatility. From April, both staking and price action rallied together, breaking new ground in June.
Strong Accumulation Signals Institutional Demand
Ethereum accumulation also intensified over the past year. During July 2024, ETH traded near $2,400 while accumulation inflows remained moderate. However, September changed. Wallets began accumulating more as prices consolidated around $2,500. By October and November, ETH dipped below $2,000, but accumulation continued undeterred.

Additionally, in December, ETH surged beyond $3,000, which led to steady inflows into accumulator addresses. The price moved toward $4,000 in January and February of 2025 as the accumulation momentum accelerated. In order to support long-term conviction, institutions started to increase exposure during these months.
Record Inflows Mark Growing Confidence
The most important trend emerged in May 2025. Ethereum broke above $3,600 as accumulator inflows hit record highs. Large blue bars indicate aggressive accumulation. Consequently, June registered the highest inflow activity to date. A red box highlights this surge in the data, reflecting intensified institutional interest.
Additionally, the alignment of accumulation, staking, and price creates a bullish effect for Ethereum. The network’s fundamentals have strengthened across all fronts. Price appreciation follows consistent support from both retail and institutional participants.
