Despite remaining far from its historical peak, Ethereum is reported to have set several records that could indicate significant growth in the future.
Ethereum's June Records
In June 2025, Ethereum set multiple records despite price manipulations by market makers. A CryptoQuant analyst noted that the amount of ETH held in wallets not belonging to centralized exchanges reached 22.7465 million ETH as of June 30, which is a 35.97% increase compared to early in the month.

Increase in Staking Assets
June also saw a significant increase in staking activity. The staking amount rose from 34.546084 million ETH to 35.526482 million ETH over the month.
> "This represents an increase of nearly one million ETH in just one month, breaking a monthly staking record on Ethereum with a growth of 2.83%." CITE_NA
Support from Institutional Investors
The analyst noted that most of the addresses accumulating massive amounts of Ethereum belong to institutional investors, ETFs, and whales who prefer to earn returns through staking while awaiting significant price appreciation. Thus, while Ethereum's price has yet to take off, institutional investors continue to accumulate and lock ETH at record levels.
Thus, Ethereum demonstrates records in accumulation and staking, which may significantly affect its price in the future. Institutional investors continue to hold support for the asset.
