After several months of relative stagnation, Ethereum (ETH) has returned to the spotlight for both institutional and retail investors. Since the beginning of June, ETH has strengthened by more than 15%, breaking through key resistance levels and showing signs of renewed momentum.
At Lexenvide, we view ETH’s rise not as a short-term speculation, but as the result of a combination of fundamental drivers, improved technical structure, and growing expectations around infrastructure upgrades.
What’s Driving Renewed Interest in ETH?
Approval of Ethereum ETF in the U.S.
The SEC’s decision to approve a spot Ethereum ETF (expected this summer) has been a key catalyst for renewed interest. Similar to the Bitcoin ETF, it opens the door for institutional capital — including pension and index funds — to enter the Ethereum ecosystem.
Rising Activity in DeFi and Staking
Following the Dencun upgrade in March, network fees have dropped, sparking renewed activity in DeFi protocols, particularly in L2 solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism. At the same time, staking volumes are rising: according to Beacon Chain data, the share of staked ETH is approaching 27%.
Strengthening Market Structure
Amid moderate volatility, ETH is increasingly being seen as the “second digital gold,” especially in the context of a shaky stock market. Token supply reduction via burning (EIP-1559) is also adding upward pressure on price.
