Institutional investors have taken the spotlight in crypto discussions in recent weeks, emerging cash companies being the city’s speech. Ethereum – is only Bitcoin – is one of the cryptocurrencies accumulated by new market participants (mainly institutional actors). Interestingly, the latest chain data show that this relevant class of investors has intensified its purchases in recent weeks, buying billions of Ethereum tokens in the last 30 days.
Are institutions behind the recent increase in ethereum prices?
In a recent article on the X platform, Embercn revealed that several unknown whales or institutions have accumulated more than 1.035 million ETH tokens (worth around 4.167 billion dollars) since July 10, 2025. According to the chain analysis company, this frenzy of purchase has occurred through institutional trade or trade platforms, notably Kraken, Falconx, Galaxy Digual, Binonance and Coinbase.
AMBCN, in the post on X, applied that most of the addresses that have raised these substantial quantities of Ethereum tokens probably belong to American public institutions or public companies to build ETH reserves. The analysis, however, excluded Sbet (Sharplink Gaming), because his addresses are known and identifiable.
The Sharplink Ethereum accumulation spree was well documented during the last month, acquiring hundreds of thousands of ether chips in the space of a month. As Bitcoinist reported, the marketing company plans to extend its ETH treasure up to $ 5 billion.

This accumulation trend is correlated with a positive price action period, Ethereum going from $ 2,600 to more than $ 4,000, an increase of 45% in the last 30 days. However, it should be noted that the average acquisition price of these institutional purchases is set at around $ 3,546.
To date, the Ethereum token is estimated at around $ 4,260, reflecting an increase of more than 5% in the last 24 hours. Coingecko data show that the second largest cryptocurrency increased more than 25% in the last seven days.
Arthur Hayes reactivates an ETH token at higher prices
The co-founder of Bitmex, Arthur Hayes, revealed that he had bought all his Ethereum tokens after a large sale last week. According to data on the channel, Hayes sold 2,373 ETH tokens (equivalent to $ 8.32 million at the time of the sale) to around $ 3,507.
The price of the ETH has increased by more than 20% since then, which prompted the co-founder Bitmex to “cancel” his profession. On Saturday August 9, Hayes used a value of $ 10.5 million from USDC to buy new Ethereum tokens at around $ 4,150.
Hayes said on X:
I had to bake everything, do you forgive me @fundestrate? (Referring to Tom Lee, investment director at Fundstrat Capital and research manager at FS Insight). I swear I don’t swear, I will not become more profit again.
