Source: TradingView<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to believe that just four months ago \u2013 in April \u2013 the second-largest cryptocurrency struggled to remain above $1,500. It had <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-wipes-out-7-years-of-gains-in-crash-to-1400-where-next-for-eth\/\">plunged<\/a> to its yearly lows during the darkest hours of Trump\u2019s trade war against essentially all other countries.<\/p>\n<p>However, the subsequent recovery has been more than impressive, especially the performance since the beginning of July. At the time, ETH stood below $2,500 but exploded by more than $2,000 in the following month, which culminated (for now) at just over $4,700 hours ago reached earlier today.<\/p>\n<p>This meant that Ethereum had added almost 250% since its yearly low at roughly $1,400 marked in April. Consequently, today\u2019s pump to $4,720 meant that it had come just 3.3% away from charting a new all-time high ($4,878, according to CoinGecko).<\/p>\n<p>This massive price surge comes on the heels of <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/blackrock-buys-150000-eth-etfs-see-record-1-billion-in-inflows\/\">substantial inflows<\/a> toward the spot Ethereum ETFs in the US, as well as multiple companies launching ETH treasury strategies and accumulating sizeable portions of the asset.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, though, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-eth-within-striking-distance-of-2021-peak-amid-retail-disbelief\/\">reports<\/a> keep claiming that retail investors continue to dispose of their assets, while institutions are ramping up their buying efforts.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that today\u2019s surge has resulted in tons of liquidations, especially from short traders. Data from CoinGlass shows that more than $250 million worth of shorts have been wiped out in the past 24 hours. And that\u2019s all for Ethereum. The overall liquidations are close to $500 million, meaning that ETH is responsible for more than 50%.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-13-164826.png\"><\/a>Liquidation Heat Map.
