ETHEREUM’S ON A ROLL 🏦

BREAKING: Ethereum Jumps to New Record Price in Move Towards $5,000

Ethereum has been on fire lately…

Just 48 hours after smashing its 4-year-old record, ETH ripped to a new all-time high of $4,953.

Since then, it’s cooled to around $4,720 - but still up 9.3% in the past week.

The spark?

Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole pivot.

His dovish tone lit the fuse Friday, sending Ethereum up 15% in a single day and smashing through its 2021 high of $4,878.

But this isn’t just a Fed trade…

Spot ETH ETFs are pulling in record flows, with over $1 billion in a single day last week.

For the first time since launch, they’re outpacing the Bitcoin ETFs.

On top of this, corporates are piling in too. BitMine Immersion now holds $7B+ in ETH and SharpLink Gaming $3.6B+.

That’s Michael Saylor–style treasury adoption, but in Ethereum.

Regulation is also catching up fast.

The SEC’s new staking guidance under Trump unlocked liquid staking rewards.

The GENIUS Act gave stablecoins - almost all of which run on Ethereum - a clear U.S. framework.

Wall Street sees it. Treasuries see it. The flows prove it.

The only question left: when does ETH break $5K?

Learn from this investor’s $100m mistake

In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.

One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.

Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.

Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Invest for $2.90/Share

HERE COME THE MONSTERS 🦖

Ethereum just broke into new all-time highs - tapping just under $5,000 today.

And the monsters are circling.

In his latest interview this weekend, Tom Lee didn’t hold back:

Meanwhile, a newly rebranded Ethereum treasury company - ETHZilla - is now live on the NASDAQ under ticker ETHZ.

• They have already bought 94,675 ETH at an average of $3,902

• Are backed by Peter Thiel (7.5% stake) - yes, that PayPal mafia billionaire

Today, they announced a $10 billion dollar raise to deploy straight into ETH:

Add that to Tom Lee’s $20B ETH capital raise last week… and that’s $30 billion in known capital ready to hit Ethereum.

The scale of what’s building here is crystal clear:

The monsters are circling… 🦖

Ethereum’s run is nowhere near over.

OGs DOUBLING DOWN 🤑

Let’s kick off the week with a look at the Bitcoin HODL Waves - one of the clearest snapshots of market conviction.

Each coloured band represents the percentage of Bitcoin that last moved within a specific time frame.

The cooler the colour, the older the coins - with purple showing Bitcoin that hasn’t moved in 10+ years.

As always, we’re focusing on long-term holders (LTHs) - defined as coins held for more than six months.

Here’s how the Bitcoin supply breakdown looks today compared to two weeks ago:

• 6m - 12m: 16.62% (down from 17.08%)

• 1y - 2y: 11.58% (up from 11.54%)

• 2y - 3y: 7.57% (down from 7.65%)

• 3y - 4y: 6.17% (down from 6.20%)

• 4y - 5y: 8.77% (down from 8.91%)

• 5y - 10y: 14.50% (up from 14.54%)

• >10y: 8.93% (up from 8.90%)

TL;DR: 74.14% of all Bitcoin hasn’t moved in over six months 🔒

The latest shifts tell a simple story:

Coins are aging into stronger hands.

Yes, the 6–12 month band thinned a bit, but both the 1–2 year and 10+ year cohorts ticked higher.

That’s fresh buyers turning into long-term holders, and OGs doubling down on conviction.

Small pullbacks in the 2–3, 3–4, and 4–5 year ranges?

That’s selective profit-taking, not broad selling pressure. These dips are minor against the sheer weight of supply locked away.

The bigger takeaway: even with Bitcoin hovering near record highs, the base of long-term holders isn’t budging.

Supply is tightening, conviction is firm, and every passing week more BTC vanishes into deep storage. 🚀
