🔹Ethereum Nears Record High as Investor Preference Shifts, CryptoQuant Reports

Ethereum is closing in on its previous all-time high—trading just 3–5% below peak levels from November 2021—driven by a surge in institutional demand and shifting investor sentiment toward ETH. According to CryptoQuant, the ETH/BTC holdings ratio has surpassed its 365-day moving average, signaling a strong rotation toward Ethereum, while U.S. spot ETH ETFs recorded a massive $1 billion inflow in a single day. The asset is also dominating recent spot trading volumes over Bitcoin for the first time since 2017. Despite the bullish momentum, analysts caution that elevated exchange inflows and possible overvaluation ratios could precede a short-term correction.
