The ether
The price rose to $ 2,601 on July 2 and uncovered a breakout that began after 16 hours of tight consolidation, according to Coindesk Research’s technical analysis model.
The move coincided with the growing institutional focus on Ethereum’s new role as a platform for tokenized financial products as well as continued momentum in SPOT ETF flow.
On June 30, Robinhood via X confirmed that it is building “Robinhood Chain” on Arbitum to “run the future of asset ownership.” While the company did not specify a timeline for launch, its decision to build on the Ethereum’s leading Layer-2 solution network’s position in the center of tokenized financing. The Ethereum Foundation reinforced this tale in an answer that read: “Ethereum is for tokenized stocks.”
Based on this theme, Bitwise Cio Matt Hougan offered a bullish forecast on July 2nd. Answer to the Ethereum Foundation’s post, Hougan said: “Flow to Ethereum ETFs will speed up significantly in H2. The combination of stableecoins & stocks moving across Ethereum is an easy to graph story for traditional investors. Half of 2025 could see a much larger overall total if the investor interest accelerates.
Analysts say the convergence of stableecoins, tokenized shares and efforts in Ethereum create a compelling use of use for institutional capital.
As the effort locks almost 30% of ETH’s supply and LAG-2-use accelerates, Ethereum is increasingly placed as the basic layer of the real world’s tokenization. Market participants now see the level $ 2,800 as the next resistance zone, which, if broken, could strengthen the bullish momentum on its way into the second half of the year.
