All eyes are on Ether as it continues to hold firm to its $2,860 support level, a price point tested multiple times since July 5.
According to a Deribit Insights report, Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) is <a href="https://insights.deribit.com/daily-trade-inspiration/ethereums-next-move-will-strong-support-spark-a-bullish-breakout/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">poised</a> for a significant upside after the recent approval of United States ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The insights suggest that the strong support witnessed through July indicates significant buyer demand, potentially setting the path for highs of $4,500.

Deribit highlights that following the Ether ETF launch, the regulatory green light is expected to drive increased institutional attention and investment.
The introduction of Ether ETFs made the underlying crypto asset more accessible and regulated, generating positive market sentiment as analysts predict further substantial inflows.
An example of this interest increase can be seen in the significant inflow of funds on July 30, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/spot-ethereum-etfs-flip-positive-after-34m-inflow-july-30">with $33.6 million in net inflows</a> entering all nine spot Ether ETFs.

According to Nansen data on July 31, a different trend was revealed, highlighting <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/spot-ethereum-etfs-flip-positive-after-34m-inflow-july-30">almost $750 million in outflows </a>from the Ether ETFs in four of five recorded trading days.
The shifts saw Bitwise temporarily surpass BlackRock in the total trading volume of the Ether ETFs on July 30, but this was reversed by July 31.
According to Nansen data, at the time of publication on Aug. 1, BlackRock’s holdings now account for 6.9% of assets under management, up from 5.59%.

<h2 data-ct-non-breakable="true" id="can-eth-break-4-000-again">Can ETH break $4,000 again?</h2>
ETH last broke above the $4,000 mark on March 14, currently around $3,200 as market sentiment shifts among ongoing geopolitical events.
Unlike the launch of Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) ETFs, the price of ETH did not receive equivalent inflows, which is suspected to be the result of the US Securities and Exchange Commission not approving staking.
<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/what-needs-to-happen-for-ethereum-eth-price-to-reach-4k">According to L2Beat</a>, the total value locked (TVL) on the Ethereum network remains unchanged at 17.8 million ETH, suggesting a lack of continued ecosystem growth.
