Ethereum staking is at 30 percent of the supply, and it increases long-term commitment to the network.
The ETH has surpassed BTC in terms of returns on investment since millions of smart money reserves are invested in ETH to seek a high beta exposure
Technical Indicators Believe that there is a high bullish momentum picking up as the Ethereum Targets to Hit the $10,000 Mark
The practice of Ethereum [ETH] staking is going strong, with more than 30 percent of the total supply being staked. According to on-chain data on ValidatorQue, the number of ETH staked has grown over time since mid-2021 so that the staked ETH counts nearly 35 million in July 2025. The slow increase of both the total amount staked and the staking ratio of the supply emphasizes the long-term stability of the Ethereum proof-of-stake model.
Ethereum is currently having a real yield that is close to 3 percent, but with EIP-1559, some transaction fees are burned. This output, together with a lesser supply of liquid, adds to the tightening of supply power. Staking has become an optimal level of structural support to the price action because it constitutes a change in trading strategies towards yield-based holding strategies.
The ROI for ETH and the Smart Money Rotation are faster than BTC
The ROI of ETH is performing slightly better than that of Bitcoin [BTC] at the moment. In May, Ethereum has given a +40.84 compared to Bitcoin’s 11%. Despite a retracement seen in June, it does not overshadow the current positive trend of ETH. Analysts cite the increasing momentum due to the increased demand of a higher beta exposure by the institutional players.
This is confirmed in the recent wallet activity. A new wallet was designed to accumulate 12,750 ETH worth 49.2 million dollars, and the total amount of ETHs reached more than 80,000. It is also observed that such funds as Sharplink Gaming have allocated huge money on ETH, which is an indication that capital rotation is shifting towards Ethereum.
Technical Momentum Underpins Price Resistance
By the 15-minute ETH chart, Ethereum is trading positively trending at a price of $3,878.73. The index is trading above the 7, 25, and 99 period simple moving average. An indicator of enhanced volatility is seen when Bollinger Bands are widened and the price closes near the upper band.
The level of trading has been increasing on this movement, showing a high interest of buyers. Rapid support is around the point of $3,822, but resistance is close to $3,889. Further thrust may push ETH to find even greater targets as long as the volumes are maintained and the macro environment is still good. To get to $10,000, ETH would have to grow 168 percent, according to some analysts commenting on the situation whereby ETH will reach $10,000 later than BTC does $200,000.
