Ethereum (ETH) 
$4,716.23Leaving the general crypto market increase of 1.24 %, exceeding $ 4,700. The main factors that support this rise include regulatory developments, aggressive purchases of large investors and positive technical indicators.
Regulation wind strengthens
On September 11, Paul Atkins, President of the US Securities and Stock Exchange Commission (SEC) reiterated that he supports clearer regulations for the crypto market and argued that many token should not be subject to securities laws. At the same time, Hong Kong organizers advanced the draft laws of banks to reduce capital requirements for digital assets (including ETH and BTC).
If new rules come into force, banks will be able to allocate 50 %less capital than traditional assets for the allocation of Ethereum. This is seen as an important development that can facilitate the entry of corporate investors to the ETH market. The eyes are now translated into the SEC-CFTC Defi meeting on September 15 and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) policy, which will be announced in the beginning of 2026.
Giant purchases from whales
On September 12, a “whale” acquired 32,368 ETH (about $ 118 million) in a single transaction. This was part of the total whale accumulation trend of 138,000 ETH ($ 503 million) since August. In the same period, the total ETH balance in the stock exchanges decreased to 9.8 million and decreased to the lowest level of seven months.
This may reduce the liquidity of the sales side and pave the way for potential increases, as seen in the past. For example, intense purchases in the $ 4,400–4,600 band in July 2025 led to an increase of ETH price by 58 %in a few weeks.
Technical indicators support the rise
Ethereum’s exceeding the main resistance level of $ 4,634 increased optimism among market players. While the price continues to remain above significant levels of support, technical indicators such as MACD and RSI also give rise signals. ETH’s weekly closing of over $ 4,700 is interpreted as a positive sign for investors.
The basic dynamics of Ethereum seem to be strongly aligned. While the regulation pressure decreases, the price aims at higher levels with the tightening of supply of whales and strengthening technical indicators. As long as the macro conditions remain favorable and the procurement pressure remains above $ 4,600, ETH may continue to rise according to analysts.
Similarly, net entries in Fidelity and Blackrock’s Ethereum ETP products last week. This shows that the market matures with regulations while confirming the interest of corporate investors’ interest in Ethereum. Crypto currencies, especially versatile usage areas such as Ethereum, are now not only technological but also serious players of the financial system. Therefore, the increase in the price of Ethereum points not only to speculative, but also indicates structural strengthening.
