Ethereum Trades 50% Below All-Time High as Investor Inflows Soar

Ethereum is currently trading at a 50% discount to its all-time high from last summer, sitting at $2,500. The cryptocurrency has been on an absolute heater since mid-August, up more than 30% in just a few weeks.

Investor inflows are returning to Ethereum ETFs, with over $1.8 billion flowing into them in August, the best single month since August 2025. This is a positive sign that institutional investors are starting to move their money back into Ethereum again after a long hiatus.

Ethereum remains the DeFi leader, accounting for a whopping 56% of total value locked (TVL) in the DeFi world, far surpassing other blockchains such as Solana with a paltry 7% market share.
