This highlights Ethereum's position as the primary settlement platform in the crypto space for 2025. Institutional participation has grown rapidly, as since January 2024, fueled by major players such as and Fidelity.

Despite these advances, Ethereum's price faces downward pressure, with significant outflows from exchanges and unsuccessful breakout attempts raising the risk of a larger decline. ETH is currently trading near $3,590, remaining below a downward trendline that has halted every upward move since early October
