While Bitcoin was racing from record to record in 2025, the same was not true for altcoin giant Ethereum (ETH). Ethereum is still around 45% below its 2021 ATH of $4,850. While ETH investors are now expecting an explosive rally, CryptoQuant analyst gave the expected good news for Etheruem. Ethereum Is Poised for an Explosive Rise! Although Ethereum has still not started the expected rally due to price manipulations by market makers, CryptoQuant analyst said that ETH is preparing for a major rise and is giving bullish signals. At this point, the analyst said that Ethereum broke many records in June, even though the price did not reach the new ATH. “June 2025 was a record-breaking month for Ethereum, even though prices did not reach expected levels due to constant manipulation by Market Makers.” The analyst noted that the amount of ETH held by wallets that do not belong to centralized crypto exchanges (CEX) and have limited Ethereum outflow broke a record in June. According to the data, it broke a historical record in June, reaching 22.7465 million ETH as of June 30. This figure was 16.7281 million ETH in June, which means a massive increase of 35.97 percent. Additionally, these addresses broke a record for purchases made in a single month by accumulating 6.0184 million ETH in June. The analyst noted that another record that ETH achieved in June was in Liquid Staking. According to the data, since June 1, staking activity has increased significantly, with the staking amount increasing from 34.546084M ETH to 35.526482M ETH from June 1 to June 30. “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%. This represents an increase of nearly 1 million ETH in just one month and represents the largest single-month increase in Ethereum history. He said 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 waiting for significant price appreciation. Finally, the analyst stated that although the price of Ethereum has not exploded yet, institutional investors continue to accumulate and lock up ETH at record levels and ETH may be preparing for a significant rise. *This is not investment advice.
