• First Transaction: Sold 1,695 ETH at $4,556/ETH, generating 7.72 million DAI.

Bullish Momentum from Institutional Capital

This bullish wave is primarily driven by:

• Corporate Investments: SharpLink Gaming and Bitmine are leading a trend of accumulating Ethereum, bringing the total value of ETH in corporate treasuries to nearly $9 billion.
• Record ETF Inflows: Ethereum spot ETFs recorded net inflows of over $1 billion just on Monday—the highest since these funds launched last year.

The Ethereum Foundation’s selling activity amidst rising prices continues to attract the attention of the crypto community, especially as the market shows positive signals from institutional capital inflows.
