What Ethereum Needs to Rise Above $2000: Bloomberg Analyst

Özet

Ethereum (ETH) appears trapped under $2000 after a stock rally has failed to push it past the price point, according to Mike McGlone, Senior Macro Strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence.

Here’s what the analyst believes Ethereum needs to break the 12-month-long resistance level.

Ethereum’s Major Resistance

In a tweet on Thursday, McGlone said that $2000 looks like a “resistance ceiling” given that ETH has failed to sustain itself above that, despite the NASDAQ 100 stock index tapping a 52-week high in Q2.

Historically, the correlation between cryptocurrencies and high-beta tech stocks has been strong. This was especially true in June 2022 when both asset classes cratered under macroeconomic pressure, and ETH lost its $2000 level.

“The token may depend on the stock index to lift all boats,” added McGlone.

Besides their concrete correlation, investors have often compared Ethereum and altcoins to tech securities from an investor’s point of view.

Bill Miller, for instance – a famous investor known for outperforming the stock market for over a decade – said last year that investors should view altcoins as “venture assets.” Alternatively, he and others including Paul Tudor Jones have likened Bitcoin to “digital gold” as a safe haven asset, inflation-hedge, and form of resistance to bank failures.

Bitcoin’s correlation to gold has risen in recent months after both assets surged in the aftermath of numerous bank collapses in March, while its correlation to stocks has declined. Given Bitcoin’s influence over the price of ETH and other assets, this could help explain why a tech stock rally has not led ETH to surge alongside it.

Regulatory Pressure

Crypto has also suffered price pressure this week after two of the world’s largest crypto exchanges – Binance and Coinbase – were targeted with lawsuits by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have fallen 1.5% on the week, while other coins like Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) have fallen 10% and 12% respectively. The latter two coins were explicitly named as securities in the SEC’s Coinbase lawsuit, suffering a price fall similar to XRP in 2020 as a result.

While Ethereum wasn’t among the crypto assets to be classified as securities, the SEC has implied numerous times that it could fit the bill.

Arthur Hayes Conducts Major Sales of Ethereum and Two Altcoins!

Reports indicate that BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has sold a significant portion of his Ethereum ($ETH) holdings following a nearly 3% price decline. Blockchain data reveals that over the past two weeks, Hayes acquired a total of 3,298 ETH via over-the-counter deals at an average price of $1,916. However, approximately two hours ago, an address believed to belong to him transferred 2,364 ETH to addresses associated with Cumberland and Galaxy Digital. Following these transfers, 4.30 million USDC was sent to Hayes's wallet, with transaction analysis suggesting the ETH was likely sold. If Hayes sold the 2,364 ETH, the transaction is estimated to have resulted in a loss of approximately $220,000. Furthermore, blockchain data showed Hayes recently sold $658,000 worth of SYN and $248,000 worth of ENA. This news comes after BitMEX, the cryptocurrency exchange he founded, recently announced its decision to permanently shut down.

Goldman Sachs: July Smashes Through Crowded Trades, U.S. Stock Bull Market Not Broken but Harder to Navigate

Goldman Sachs: July Sees Crowded Trades Unwound, U.S. Bull Market Intact but Getting Tougher. The U.S. stock market in July did not see an index-level crash, but rather a significant unwinding of speculative positions. While the S&P 500 remained stable—trading within a narrow 3.5% range and staying within 2% of its high—underlying market dynamics were volatile. Heavily crowded trades, particularly in high-momentum tech, AI-linked stocks, and Asian strategies, faced severe pressure and forced deleveraging. Data indicates this was a meaningful cleanse, not a minor adjustment. Global tech exposure saw its largest sell-off in over five years, leverage in Korean equity ETFs plummeted, and Goldman's prime brokerage recorded the largest gross exposure reduction since late 2022. Leverage on momentum factors among fundamental long/short clients fell to the 28th percentile of its one-year range. The AI trade narrative shifted from pure potential to a focus on tangible returns. While Meta failed to show clear AI monetization, Microsoft and Amazon provided evidence that massive capital expenditure is translating into scalable revenue and product growth, preventing a blanket sell-off of the AI sector. The Federal Reserve's more opaque communication style and volatility in long-end Treasury yields have introduced new friction, particularly for rate-sensitive growth and tech stocks. The broader outlook for U.S. equities remains favorable, supported by a strong economy, robust earnings, and substantial AI capital expenditure. However, risk/reward is no longer cheap, and the market's upward elasticity has weakened. The Nasdaq 100's trajectory—up 12% year-to-date despite significant pullbacks—illustrates that the bull trend persists but the path is becoming more difficult. The key lesson from July is that the market no longer rewards crowded, highly leveraged trades, requiring more disciplined and liquid portfolio approaches.

The Long-Awaited Cryptocurrency Bill Known as the 'Clarity Act' Reaches a Critical Juncture: White House to Review It This Weekend

The future of the U.S. cryptocurrency market regulation, the CLARITY Act, is at a critical stage, with its advancement potentially hinging on a White House decision this weekend. The Trump administration is reviewing a new bipartisan ethics proposal from Senators Tom Tillis (R) and Ruben Gallego (D). This counter-proposal aims to empower state attorneys general to prosecute federal officials if the Justice Department fails to enforce ethics and conflict-of-interest rules, addressing Democratic concerns about DOJ enforcement under the current administration. If an agreement on these ethics provisions is reached, a Senate vote on the CLARITY Act could proceed, though it still requires 60 votes for passage. The bill, which passed the Senate Banking Committee, seeks to clarify the regulatory roles of the SEC and CFTC over crypto assets and establish a comprehensive market structure. Key compromises include regulations for stablecoin yield programs, allowing rewards tied to transactions or platform use while limiting interest-like payments based solely on token holding. Failure to reach an ethics deal could stall the bill's progress, prolonging uncertainty for stablecoin rewards and related regulations.

Interview with Robinhood Executive: Meme + Tokenized US Stocks as "Barbell" Customer Acquisition Strategy, All Business Lines Achieve Hundreds of Millions in Revenue

Interview with Robinhood executive Johann Kerbrat reveals the company's "barbell" customer acquisition strategy for its new Robinhood Chain, combining meme tokens with tokenized stocks. Three weeks after mainnet launch, the chain has seen over $3B in weekly DEX volume and 105M transactions. Kerbrat explains the logic behind the permissionless chain: meme tokens attract DeFi users, while tokenized real-world assets (RWA), currently over 90 US stocks and ETFs accessible in 120+ countries, serve global users. The goal is to bring Robinhood's 27 million funded accounts on-chain by simplifying DeFi with a user-friendly interface, exemplified by features like Robinhood Earn which offers yield without requiring wallet management. Built on Arbitrum's technology stack for its speed, low cost, and Ethereum's security, the chain focuses on financial products like Earn, spot trading, and perpetuals. Kerbrat downplays direct competition with platforms like Base, emphasizing the goal of expanding the overall market for on-chain assets. He details selective partnerships (e.g., Morpho, Lighter) based on compliance, unique UX, and differentiation. While regulatory clarity is pending for US perpetuals, the expansion continues via Bitstamp in Europe. Finally, Kerbrat positions Robinhood as a "super app" integrating stocks, options, crypto, banking, and AI trading, with all major business lines generating hundreds of millions in revenue. For the chain, current priority is driving adoption over maximizing gas fee revenue.
