A recent report from Bybit and Block Scholes highlights significant growth in Ethereum and Bitcoin amid record ETF inflows.
Key Market Events
Last week, Ethereum (ETH) surged more than 20%, approaching its November 2021 all-time high. The increase was backed by a record $1 billion inflow into Ethereum ETFs on August 11, 2025. Companies like SharpLink Gaming and BitMine Immersion Technologies led this growth.
Institutional Demand for Ethereum
Ethereum's rally is supported by unprecedented institutional inflows and positive regulatory changes boosting activity in the Ethereum market. Despite rapid price appreciation, daily volumes for Ethereum options remained steady at $200 million, reflecting traders' confidence in short-term prospects.
Financial Outlook for Bitcoin
Bitcoin also showed growth, reaching a new all-time high of $124,000. This rally was triggered by a sharp sentiment shift in the derivatives market following President Trump's executive order allowing pension funds to invest in digital assets. This event potentially opens $8.7 trillion in U.S. retirement fund capital to the digital asset market.
The current cryptocurrency market situation is characterized by increased interest from institutional investors, which appears to support further growth for both Ethereum and Bitcoin.
