Ethereum's ETH Surges to $3K as ETF Flows, Tokenization Narrative Fuels Rally
The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization advanced to just shy of $3,000, gaining 6.7% through the past 24 hours.
While ETH has significantly underperformed during this cycle and failed to reach new record levels unlike BTC or Solana (SOL), the narrative has recently started to shift around the token.
"ETH has taken the lead in price momentum, rallying off recent lows amid a pickup in derivatives activity and growing enthusiasm around its broader role in settlement and tokenization infrastructure," said Joel Kruger, market strategist at LMAX Group.
U.S.-listed spot ETFs also saw strong demand, booking over $500 million in inflows month-to-date.
Meanwhile, the corporate crypto treasury strategy has expanded beyond bitcoin to ETH as well, with public firms such as Sharplink Gaming and Bitmine Immersion Technology adding the asset to their balance sheet.
"In less than one month, public companies will have bought enough ETH to offset all the ETH that's been created since the merge," prominent crypto investor Pentoshi said in an X post earlier this week. "It's 1/9th the market cap of BTC, and takes far less capital to move. That capital is clearly coming."CoinDesk's market analytics model shows that ETH had an explosive rally in the 60-minute interval between 20:58 UTC to 21:57, jumping 6% from $2,819.07 to $2,996.85.
The rally occurred in three phases: preliminary consolidation around $2,824 through 21:15, succeeded by an acceleration phase breaking through resistance thresholds at $2,845, $2,870, and $2,920, and culminating in a final advance from to $2,993.
Fundamental support levels were established at $2,756.18 and $2,761.11 throughout the trading session.
Robust high-volume resistance consolidated around the $2,993.34 threshold.

Meta shares surge as AI investment pays off
Shares in Meta, the tech firm behind Facebook and Instagram, have surged in extended trading after posting a bumper set of financial results that eased concerns it was lagging rivals in the artificial intelligence (AI) race. The stock was up 11% after it reported figures covering the second quarter that smashed analysts' expectations in almost every metric. The numbers were also seen as justifying chief executive and founder Mark Zuckerberg's huge spending - long a source of frustration for many Meta investors seeking greater rewards in the short term. Money latest: Chain offers free sushi for kids over holidays He told a call with analysts that the company expected to spend up to $72bn (£54bn) this year - and even more in 2026. At the same time, AI rival Microsoft revealed capital expenditure plans that would see its investment surpass $120bn (£90.5bn) if sustained over the year. Meta has been investing in people to power its AI-driven growth and infrastructure to grow advertising sales. Zuckerberg told analysts his pursuit of superintelligence - a hypothetical concept where AI surpasses human intelligence in every possible way - was paying off. In the second quarter, AI-powered ad recommendations drove about 5% more conversions - a purchase or commitment - on Instagram and 3% on Facebook, the company said. It helped Meta report revenue of $47.5bn (£36bn) for the three months to the end of June. Profit per share of $7.14 (£5.38) also easily exceeded analysts' estimates. Meta recently introduced an AI-driven image-to-video ad creation tool under its Advantage+ suite, allowing marketers to generate video ads from static images. The company said that, as a result, it was forecasting up to $50bn (£37.7bn) of revenue in the current third quarter of the year - way above the consensus expectation around $46bn (£34.7bn). Commenting on the performance, Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "Meta has knocked it out of the park. Pick your metric and Meta crushed it, from ad revenue growth to daily users, all the way down to the profit lines. "AI is clearly delivering real-world benefits for advertisers, and they're willing to pay more as a result. Average price per ad was up 9% over the quarter, a clear indication that Meta is delivering an improved product for both users and advertisers. "The broader focus now turns to Meta's mammoth AI investment plans and whether it can continue to manage those costs without hurting earnings or free cash flow. "CFO commentary called out higher costs next year, and another year of similar capex growth, which many analysts did not have on their bingo cards. Clearly, all this spending adds some near-term risks to the bottom line, but Meta looks set to be a clear winner in the AI space over the longer term."

Superconducting Wire Market worth $2.19 billion by 2030
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The global Superconducting Wire Market is anticipated to grow from estimated USD 1.32 billion in 2025 to USD 2.19 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period. A superconducting wire is an electrical wire made of superconducting materials to transfer charge with negligible resistance. Superconductivity is the property of certain materials that conduct electricity without energy loss when cooled below a critical temperature. The reduction in energy loss during conduction has led to the commercialization of superconducting wires. Factors such as growing demand for superconductor-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, rising implementation of superconducting wires over conventional wires, and expansion of offshore wind farms using superconducting technologies drive the growth of the Superconducting Wire Market. Browse in-depth TOC on "Superconducting Wire Market" 206 - Tables55 - Figures219 – Pages Download PDF Brochure: High-temperature superconductor wires to exhibit highest CAGR during forecast period Based on type, the Superconducting Wire Market has been split into low-temperature superconductor, medium-temperature superconductor, and high-temperature superconductor wires. High-temperature superconductor wires are expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Expansion of offshore wind farms using superconducting technologies is expected to drive the market for high-temperature superconductor wires.
