- Ethereum holds the highest holder count among crypto assets, reaching 148.38 million unique addresses despite recent price declines.
- U.S. Ethereum ETFs saw 16 consecutive days of inflows, contrasting with Bitcoin ETF outflows on June 5th.
Ethereum now has more holders than any other cryptocurrency. Data shows 148.38 million unique addresses currently hold ETH. This number represents the highest holder count across all digital assets.
The increase in holders occurred despite recent price decreases for Ethereum. ETH traded near $2,400, reflecting a roughly 7% drop. This growth in wallet addresses points to ongoing user engagement with the Ethereum network, even during broader market shifts.
Concurrent with the holder growth, Ethereum staking activity set a record. ETHNews reported the highest monthly total for new ETH staked. This means more people chose to lock their coins in the network.
Separate data revealed consistent investment into U.S.-based Ethereum ETFs. These funds attracted $11.26 million in new investments on June 5th. This marked the sixteenth consecutive day where these ETFs saw more money entering than leaving. In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs experienced money leaving on the same day, totaling $278.44 million.
While holder, staking, and ETF data suggest underlying strength, caution remains in the market. Recent liquidations of long positions exceeded $256 million. Trading activity in options markets leaned towards protective “put” options.
This shows some traders expect potential price drops in the near term. However, technical analysis indicates ETH found support around $2,300. ETHNews analysts suggest a move back towards $3,000 remains possible if current supportive trends continue.
Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $2,521.20 USD, with a daily gain of +1.74%. This marks a continuation of its recent upward momentum, although ETH remains within a wide consolidation range.
Over the past week, the price is nearly flat at −0.39%, while the monthly performance stands out with a strong +39.19% gain. Despite this rally, Ethereum is still down −24.31% year-to-date and −37.10% over the last six months, indicating that it has not fully recovered from its earlier 2025 correction.
Ethereum recently bounced from its 20-day EMA at around $2,515, suggesting a short-term bullish pivot. ETHNews analysts are watching closely for a breakout above $2,738, which could pave the way toward the $3,000 level.
However, if ETH breaks down below current support, price action could retreat to $2,323. Technical indicators are largely neutral, but sentiment has improved thanks to institutional interest and ETF inflows.
On the fundamental side, Ethereum saw $837.5 million in net inflows into U.S. spot Ether ETFs over just 15 days, with inflows expected to exceed $1 billion. Additionally, in May 2025, Ethereum processed 4.84 million stablecoin transfers worth nearly $480 billion, fueled by lower fees and growing DeFi market share.
