Ethereum Surge Signals a Bull RunāIs AI the Next Move?
By Alex, Senior Blockchain & Finance Writer | prev. Goldman Sachs Research, Reuters Contributor
Ethereum (ETH) recently surged past $3,800, hitting a seven-month high and becoming the top-performing crypto asset of the week. According to Bitwise data, the ETH/BTC ratio jumped 27% in a short period, while Bitcoin dominance dropped by 6%. Capital is rotating rapidly into Ethereum and altcoins, signaling what many analysts are calling a watershed moment for the market.
This bullish signal not only fuels investor excitementāit also sets the stage for a powerful fusion of AI and Web3. XWORLD, the worldās first open ecosystem where anyone can create AI agents and participate in crypto economic distribution, is now leading the charge, bridging Ethereumās momentum with the next era of intelligent on-chain agents.
Why Is Ethereum Surging? 4 Key Drivers
1ļøā£ Regulatory Clarity Fuels Confidence
The recent passage of the GENIUS Act and Clarity for Digital Tokens Act in the U.S. provides clearer guardrails for crypto innovation. As the network hosting 50% of global stablecoins and 55% of tokenized assets, Ethereum is positioned to benefit directly from this policy breakthrough.
2ļøā£ Demand-Supply Imbalance Driving Price
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan points out that institutional ETH allocations via ETPs are still underweight compared to Bitcoin. Estimated demand could reach $20 billion in 2025, while new ETH issuance remains limitedājust 800,000 ETH annuallyācreating upward price pressure.
3ļøā£ Institutional Accumulation Signals Conviction
On-chain data reveals growing institutional interest. Five new wallets recently withdrew a total of 77,000 ETH (~$285M) from Krakenāan indicator of strong long-term positioning.
4ļøā£ NFT Activity Resurges
Ethereum NFT trading volume has rebounded sharply, surpassing $75 million weekly and capturing 52.3% of total market share. Leading collections like CryptoPunks saw sales soar more than 11,000% month-on-month, reflecting renewed ecosystem vitality.
