Ethereum is demonstrating significant growth in Q3 2025, which could become the most successful third quarter since the network's launch in 2015.
Ethereum's Third Quarter Records
Ethereum's price is on track for its most profitable third quarter since the network launched in 2015. Data from Coinglass shows that ETH has already delivered over 83% return in Q3 2025, far above its historical median of 8.19%. No other third quarter has reached this level.
Institutional Inflows Dynamics
Institutional inflows have been a defining feature of Ethereum’s price performance in Q3 2025. CoinShares data shows that in the week ending August 15, digital asset funds recorded $3.75 billion in inflows, with Ethereum-linked products accounting for $2.87 billion of that amount.
Fundamentals and Network Upgrades
Network upgrades have played an important role in supporting Ethereum’s price this year. The Pectra upgrade, activated in May 2025, introduced several Ethereum Improvement Proposals aimed at improving scalability and user experience.
Thus, Ethereum is showing strong fundamentals and increased interest from institutional investors, supporting positive price forecasts for the end of 2025.
