What about demand for ETH? On the back of tariff lows there's strong institutional demand. 4. ETH ETFs Soaking Up Supply ETH ETF AUM is up 20% QoQ — now holding 4.1M ETH. That's 3.4% of total ETH supply already held by ETFs... Institutions are quietly accumulating.
Well, maybe not so quietly. 5. Treasury Demand Rocket Q2 saw a 5,829% QoQ increase in ETH held in treasury by public entities. - @SharpLinkGaming : +216k ETH - @BitDigital_BTBT: +100k ETH A secular trend that's continuing Q3. ETH is an institutional grade treasury asset.
What about supply? 6. ETH is Structurally Capped Circulating supply barely budged Q2 — 120.94M, up just +0.18%. Whereas BTC is fixed supply, ETH supply is fixed cap. ETH issuance is .45%, less than BTC, less than gold. There's no new ETH supply to absorb demand this cycle.
ETH isn’t just being held — it's being used. 7. ETH is onchain 43% of ETH supply is locked in smart contracts - a huge structural demand base. A productive store of value.
8. ETH on exchanges at 8 year lows ETH on CEXs just hit 16.4M — lowest since 2016. That’s an 8-year low. Likely headed to staking, cold storage, or ETFs. Seeing a long term holder base for ETH as a store of value.
How's ETH priced? Still low. 9a. ETH’s MVRV Z-Score at near cycle lows. Far from overheated. 9b. ETH at Long-Term Support Comfortably above 200-week moving average. Classic accumulation zone. ETH building strength again, but still early. Is ETH about to explode upward?
Look at book value. 10. Book Value Bounce ETH's Market Cap / TVL ratio rebounded to 1.2 in Q2, up 19%. When this hits parity (~1.0), it signals undervaluation. Say TVL grows to $1 trillion with stablecoins & RWAs and we get back to a 2.5 ratio. ETH would be over $20k.
