Ethereum’s $2M Options Bet Fuels Hopes of Sharp Price Surge

2025 has been a rollercoaster year for Ethereum. After plunging 45.3% in Q1, ETH rebounded with a 34.9% gain this quarter, including a staggering 41.1% surge in May—the highest monthly return of the year.

But June has started on a quieter note. So far, ETH is down 2.61%, and market momentum appears weak. Still, a whopping $2 million call option bet is shaking up sentiment—hinting at a potential breakout by month’s end.

$2 Million Ethereum Bet Fuels Bullish Sentiment

According to reports, a high-stakes trader spent $2 million in premiums to buy 61,000 ETH call options, set to expire at the end of June. The strike prices? $3,200 and $3,400—over 30% higher than Ethereum’s current price of $2,465.

This bold move suggests strong conviction that Ethereum will rally sharply in the coming weeks.

Ethereum Price Action: Why Optimism?

At the start of June, ETH was priced at $2,526. It briefly surged to $2,678 on June 4, before dipping to $2,413 the next day—a 7.41% drop. Despite the correction, investor sentiment remains bullish.

Many analysts believe ETH can break the $3,000 resistance this month, backed by growing institutional interest and major network upgrades.

What’s Fueling Confidence in Ethereum?

Ethereum’s Pectara upgrade, launched on May 7, has significantly improved scalability. Key features include:

  • Raising the validator cap from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH
  • Doubling data capacity
  • EIP-7702 implementation, enabling smart contract features for regular wallets

According to Youwei Yang, Ph.D., Chief Economist at BIT Mining, these upgrades demonstrate Ethereum’s focus on long-term network efficiency—boosting investor confidence.

Big Players Are Betting on Ethereum

Recently, SharpLink Gaming announced plans to move $425 million into ETH as a treasury reserve. The news has electrified the Ethereum community and is seen as a strong institutional vote of confidence.

Adding fuel to the bullish fire, rumors suggest U.S. regulators may soon approve a spot Ethereum ETF with staking—unlike current Bitcoin ETFs that lack staking support.

Ethereum Spot ETF Market Sees Rising Momentum

As per Blockworks, the Ethereum spot ETF market is gaining traction:

  • Total Market Cap: $8.17 Billion
  • 24H Trading Volume: $478.88 Million

Top Players:

  • ETHA (BlackRock) – $3.85B AUM
  • ETHE (Grayscale) – $3.46B
  • FETH (Fidelity) – $1.34B
  • ETHV (VanEck) – $123.17M
  • CETH (21Shares US LLC) – $23.49M

With ETF inflows rising and institutional bets stacking up, Ethereum could be gearing up for a breakout in June.

Final Thoughts

From massive options bets and ETF momentum to game-changing upgrades and corporate buy-ins, Ethereum’s bullish narrative is strengthening.

Will ETH hit $3,200 by June-end? With momentum building, all eyes are on Ethereum this month.
