Institutional Demand for Ethereum Soars
Ethereum futures open interest on the CME has reached an all-time high of $7.85 billion, according to an X post by CryptoQuant analyst, Maartunn. Open interest refers to the value of existing contracts that have not yet been settled.
This growth is an indication of strong institutional involvement. Experts feel that the increased demand may be attributed to the growth of funds that hedge against their exposure by using derivatives.
At the same time, they do not want to miss the anticipated gains in ETH price. The steep rise comes after several months of gradual buildup and now surpasses levels seen during prior Ethereum climaxes.
Source: XThe Ethereum ETFs are also on an amazing run at the moment. According to SoSo Value data, these funds have recorded 16 consecutive days of net inflows, accumulating almost $5 billion during this period.
This marks one of the most sustained accumulation streaks since the products launched. As CoinGape previously reported, BlackRock Ethereum ETF continues to dominate inflows, and it’s now holding almost 3 million ETH.
Nate Geraci, a well-known ETF analyst, confirmed in an X post that July 25th’s net inflow of $452.72 million was the fourth-highest single-day inflow event in the history of the ETH ETF. He added that ETH ETFs have outperformed BTC ETFs in net inflows for each of the past seven days.

Whale And Technical Patterns Strengthen Bullish Perspectives Towards ETH
Meanwhile, Ethereum whale transactions are on the rise. The Glassnode data, provided by Ali on X, showed that 170 new addresses with over 10,000 ETH were added to the network over the last 30 days.
Source: XThis brings the total number of mega-whale wallets to 1,050. The trend is an indication of strong accumulation by large entities, who could be funds and custodians.
The Ethereum price is currently $ 3,744, having increased by 2.41% within the last 24 hours. Despite a 40% drop in daily volume to $25.38 billion, the overall market cap has risen to $452 billion.

Technical data from TradingView, shared by Merlijn The Trader on X, shows that ETH is still trading within its long-term “master channel” pattern. This channel previously marked key reversals in 2018 and 2021. He added that RSI metrics have also reset, suggesting Ethereum is not overbought.
