Cryptocurrency analysis company Alphractal reported that there has been a significant increase in institutional investor applications to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in recent days. According to the company's evaluation, these applications were not limited to Bitcoin only; a remarkable increase in the number of applications was also observed in altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA) and Dogecoin (DOGE). Bitcoin has once again proven its institutional interest by experiencing its third-busiest week in history, but the focus is broadening, according to Alphractal. According to Alphractal's analysis: Ethereum has shown strong growth, maintaining its position as the most preferred digital asset outside of Bitcoin. Cardano has reaffirmed its long-term potential with its growing adoption as a smart contract platform. Dogecoin, surprisingly, has started to appear more in institutional portfolios. This shows that the view of traditional investors towards the most popular “memecoin” is starting to change. Alphractal notes that this trend indicates a wider diversity in institutional strategies and that the cryptocurrency market is entering a maturation process. The company also added that SEC filings are an important indicator of the direction of institutional interest, and that the increasing interest in altcoins can be considered as preparation for the next phase of the market. *This is not investment advice.

Financial services giant Morgan Stanley’s online brokerage and banking platform is reportedly going to offer crypto trading starting next year. According to a new report by Bloomberg, prompted by President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto actions and statements, anonymous sources familiar with the matter say that Morgan Stanley plans to incorporate digital assets into its online service platform E-Trade by 2026, though no specific date was mentioned. Though the plans are still in their early stages, Morgan Stanley is weighing its options in terms of which crypto firms to partner up with. If the firm follows through, it would mark the biggest move yet by a banking institution to offer crypto assets – including the top two digital assets by market cap Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ethereum ( ETH ) – directly to retail investors. Currently, Morgan Stanley only offers digital asset products, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), options and futures contracts, to its wealthier clients, according to the report. Earlier this year, Trump made key moves for the crypto industry, such as signing an executive order to create a strategic BTC reserve, loosening regulatory pressure on the industry from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), appointed a “crypto czar,” and pushed for Congress to create clear guidelines for crypto assets. Other major banking institutions, such as SoFi, have signaled that they may follow Morgan Stanley and directly offer crypto assets on their retail trading platforms.

Ethereum wiped out nearly half its value in 2025, with price dropping over 46% year-to-date as ETFs failed to attract capital inflows and the largest altcoin lost revenue. After months of debate on the future of the Ethereum Foundation and Vitalik Buterin’s new proposal for higher scalability, Ethereum eyes a comeback, likely the biggest one of the year. Table of Contents Ethereum could rise from the dead with three catalysts Vitalik Buterin’s plan for Ethereum scalability Ethereum v. Solana Five burning questions and Ethereum’s future Ethereum price prediction Ethereum could rise from the dead with three catalysts Ethereum ( ETH ) lost relevance, revenue and demand from new users over the past four months of 2025. Data from Growthepie shows that a key metric that measures a chain’s demand and relevance among market participants, the number of unique addresses interacting with one or more chains within the ETH ecosystem within a given week, hit a new all-time high. A week-on-week increase of 62% was recorded in the number of active addresses, with a 57% increase in Layer 2 dominance. Ethereum weekly engagement | Source: Growthepie.xyz On Wednesday, April 30, Etheruem leads the market sentiment among traders with 82%, followed closely by Solana ( SOL ) and Bitcoin ( BTC ). Data gathered by Oriole Insights shows that as market participants turn greedy, scoring 56 on a scale from 0 to 100, Ethereum gains relevance and bullish sentiment from traders. Daily market sentiment trending projects | Source: Oriole Insights After underperforming most altcoins and Bitcoin since the beginning of 2025, Ethereum is gearing for a comeback in light of recent announcements and updates. From Vitalik Buterin’s plan to scale the Ethereum network to the Ethereum Foundation’s management changes, the altcoin could attempt to resurrect from the dead and compete with Solana, a giant that captured a large volume of new users, revenue and activity on decentralized exchanges and applications in 2024 and 2025. The pivot proposed by the Ethereum Foundation is toward the key product, the token. Scaling Layer 1 chains, blobs, and improving the user experience could drive higher adoption, boost revenue generation, and bring back lost interest from traders in the ecosystem.

Vitalik Buterin’s plan for Ethereum scalability In mid-April, Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin proposed to boost the scalability of the Ethereum execution layer. Buterin suggested an idea to resolve the key problem facing the ETH network, a primary scaling bottleneck, and said it could greatly improve the execution layer’s simplicity for users. Key concepts for developers building on the Ethereum chain remain unchanged. Buterin says the change would be “barely noticeable.” The ETH holder community is debating the impact of the proposal and whether the change is enough to make Ethereum relevant again.

Solana The Ethereum vs. Solana debate rages on, with SOL leading in several key Layer 2 and DEX metrics. A Dune analytics dashboard that compares Ethereum and its Layer 2 chains with Solana over the past three months shows that SOL noted nearly four times as many transactions as Ethereum and its L2 chains during the same period. SOL leads by nearly 30 billion dollars in DEX volume, and the active address count on Solana is nearly three times that of ETH and its Layer 2 chains. Ethereum and L2s v. Solana metrics | Source: Dune Analytics The month-on-month comparison of Ethereum Layer 2s and Solana transactions and active addresses shows the complete picture.

BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world, is set to introduce a digital share class for its 150 billion dollar Treasury Trust Fund. The Ethereum developer and holder community believes this could benefit ETH and the altcoin’s price in the long term. The infusion of capital into the RWA sector would utilize DLT through BNY Mellon, a firm that uses the Ethereum blockchain. CEO Larry Fink has highlighted the potential of tokenization and its importance to the U.S. economy’s global dominance. Ethereum could gain from the capital inflow. Will Ethereum ETFs catch up with Bitcoin? Data from Farside Investors shows five consecutive days of capital inflows to U.S.-based Spot Ethereum ETFs, except on April 30, when net flow was negative 2.3 million dollars. A total of nearly 2.5 billion dollars in institutional capital was poured into Ethereum in the last fifteen days.

What does derivatives data show for the future of Ethereum? Derivatives data from Coinglass shows that derivatives volume, options open interest, and options trade volume have all climbed in the last 24 hours. While derivatives traders are not entirely bullish on Ether and the long/short ratio is less than one, it stands at 0.9771 as of May 1. Open interest in Ethereum has climbed nearly 3 billion dollars between April 9 and April 30, indicating a steady increase in the value of all open derivatives contracts across exchanges.

Data from Derive.xyz shows that while retail traders expect ETH price to decline, sentiment on Derive is bullish, with calls outnumbering puts by as much as four to one. The prediction platform places the odds of a rally above 2,300 dollars by May 30 at 9 percent and the chance of a drop under 1,600 dollars at 21 percent, as of April 30.

Ethereum has finally touched the -1SD line, according to Lab4Crypto, marking an opportunity for sidelined buyers to dollar-cost average into ETH. The chart shows a final touch on the -1SD line, a level that is historically considered a bottom for the altcoin. Ethereum hit this level on April 8, after nearly three years, as seen in the bottom range estimation chart below. Bottom range estimation for Ethereum | Source: Lab4crypto Ethereum price prediction Ethereum price could gain nearly 11 percent and test the upper boundary of the Fair Value Gap at 2,000 dollars, a key psychological level for the altcoin. Two key momentum indicators, RSI and MACD, support a bullish thesis for Ether. RSI reads 55 and is sloping upwards. MACD flashes green histogram bars above the neutral line. Both point to further gains in the altcoin. Ethereum could test resistance at 2,533 dollars, the lower boundary of the Fair Value Gap on the daily timeframe, and target the 3,000 dollar level in the medium to long term.

Amid persistent market volatility, investors seeking high-growth opportunities have continued to monitor Shiba Inu closely. Although the token has experienced notable declines in recent months, several market analysts remain confident in its long-term prospects, especially leading into and beyond the next anticipated bull cycle. Over the last three months, Shiba Inu has lost approximately 27% of its value, with its year-to-date performance reflecting a larger decline of 36.8%. Despite this, interest in the asset remains strong among retail and crypto-native investors. A growing number of them believe that the current price levels may present a favourable entry point, particularly with expectations of significant price movements by the end of the decade. Forecasting SHIB’s Potential Value in 2030 Several industry predictions have been made regarding SHIB’s possible valuation by 2030. Analysts from the cryptocurrency trading platform Changelly estimate that SHIB could reach a peak value of $0.000158 by that year. This would mark an increase of roughly 1,085% from its current trading price of $0.00001333. Meanwhile, Telegaon, a platform known for long-term cryptocurrency forecasts, projects a more optimistic scenario. Their model places SHIB at $0.000712 by 2030, representing a potential gain of over 5,200%. Additionally, a panel of 26 crypto experts surveyed in an earlier Finder report offered their target, predicting that SHIB could trade at $0.0001971 by 2030, indicating a projected increase of about 1,380%. Projected Returns on a $1,000 Investment Today To assess the practical implications of these forecasts, consider a hypothetical $1,000 investment in SHIB at today’s price of $0.00001364. This amount would secure approximately 75 million SHIB tokens. If the price reaches Changelly’s target of $0.000158 by 2030, that $1,000 investment would be worth approximately $11,850, yielding a return of over $10,800. We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023 Under the Finder panel’s forecast of $0.0001971, the same $1,000 investment could grow to nearly $14,790, representing a gain of around $13,790. The most bullish projection comes from Telegaon . Should their $0.000712 price target be realized, the $1,000 stake would rise dramatically to about $53,400, an increase of more than 5,200%. Investor Behavior and Market Timing Recent data from IntoTheBlock shows that more than 82,000 addresses currently hold Shiba Inu tokens valued at $1,000 or more. This suggests a widespread belief among retail investors that SHIB could deliver substantial returns in the long term. The upcoming Bitcoin halving, scheduled for 2028, is often cited as a catalyst for market-wide growth and could contribute to a favourable environment for SHIB and other altcoins in the years that follow. While these projections are speculative and subject to market risks, they highlight the potential magnitude of returns if the asset performs in alignment with bullish forecasts.
