Ethereum Price Surges: Institutional Demand Hits Record Highs, $5,000 Next

Published by

Ethereum is making waves again, reclaiming the $4,500 mark as institutional investors quietly pile in. The second-largest cryptocurrency is showing signs of life that could push it toward $5,000, and traders are starting to wonder: Is a new rally just around the corner? 

With steady accumulation and growing confidence, all eyes are on Ethereum’s next move.

Funds Load Up on ETH

According to the latest data, Ethereum fund holdings have climbed to a record 6.7 million ETH, while total wallet balances reached 20.6 million ETH. Together, these numbers tell one clear story, institutions and long-term holders are steadily stacking ETH.

This is important because it proves demand isn’t just coming from quick traders chasing short-term gains. As CryptoBusy highlights, large funds have been consistently adding ETH throughout 2025.

At the same time, wallets of all sizes are also growing their holdings. This mix of big players and retail buyers creates a stronger foundation for Ethereum’s price and future growth.

Long-Term Holders Keep Stacking

Further, CryptoBusy highlights that Ethereum balances by holder value have surged to 20.6 million ETH, marking yet another record milestone. What stands out here is that wallets across different size ranges, from smaller investors to those holding over 100,000 ETH, are increasing their positions. 

This suggests the demand isn’t concentrated in a few hands but spread across the broader market.

Ethereum Price Outlook: Support Holding Strong

As of now Ethereum price is trading near $4,522, and holding strong above its key support at $4,164. Meanwhile, the bigger challenge now sits between $4,600 and $4,800, a zone that Ethereum must clear before aiming for $5,000.

Technical signals also look supportive. The RSI stands at 58, showing the asset is neither overbought nor oversold. That means there’s room for further growth without the need for a sharp correction first.

However, the bullish scenario stays alive as long as ETH holds above $4,000. Falling below that threshold could open the door to $3,865, and in a deeper slide, even toward $3,213.
