Strong accumulation from “shark wallets” holding 1,000 to 10,000 ETH has pushed the asset’s price up to $3,230, reported Santiment on Thursday. This is the highest that Ether has traded for since mid-November, almost three weeks ago.

These wallets have been “key alpha” for the asset’s price throughout 2025, Santiment added. Additionally, network growth just hit 190,000 new wallets in one day.

Ethereum Upgrade Successful

The move follows the successful deployment of the Fusaka upgrade on Wednesday.

Fusaka is a key step on Ethereum’s layer-1+rollup roadmap with higher L1 performance, expanded blob capacity, lower rollup costs, and UX improvements.

Ethereum also achieved a record daily gas usage of over 200 billion units on Dec. 3, coinciding with the Fusaka upgrade’s activation, observed Sam Altcoin.

Analyst Ted Pillows noted that the ETH/BTC ratio was trying to reclaim the 50-week exponential moving average again. “If that happens, ETH and altcoins could see upward momentum,” he said.

Meanwhile, Tom Lee is “DCAing ETH,” reported Arkham Intelligence on Thursday. It observed another $150 million BitMine purchase on Wednesday, stating “Two fresh wallets just withdrew $92 million of ETH from Kraken, and $58 million from Bitgo, matching prior BitMine purchase patterns.”

BitMine has already bought the dip twice earlier this week and now holds at least 3.73 million ETH worth almost $12 billion.

ETH Price Outlook

Ether prices hit a three-week high of $3,230 during early trading in Asia on Thursday, but it could not hold above it and dipped slightly to $3,200 at the time of writing.

The asset has recovered 16% since its dip to $2,740 earlier this week during the latest leverage flush. Comparatively, Bitcoin has only recovered 10% from its Tuesday low to $83,500.

Nevertheless, Ether remains down 35% from its all-time high and is also 4.5% in the red year-to-date.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us.  Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak.  “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.”  We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…

One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight

The post One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew returns to the Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts, showing continued demand for his timeless music. Frank Sinatra performs on his TV special Frank Sinatra: A Man and his Music Bettmann Archive These days on the Billboard charts, Frank Sinatra’s music can always be found on the jazz-specific rankings. While the art he created when he was still working was pop at the time, and later classified as traditional pop, there is no such list for the latter format in America, and so his throwback projects and cuts appear on jazz lists instead. It’s on those charts where Sinatra rebounds this week, and one of his popular projects returns not to one, but two tallies at the same time, helping him increase the total amount of real estate he owns at the moment. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew Returns Sinatra’s The World We Knew is a top performer again, if only on the jazz lists. That set rebounds to No. 15 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and comes in at No. 20 on the all-encompassing Jazz Albums ranking after not appearing on either roster just last frame. The World We Knew’s All-Time Highs The World We Knew returns close to its all-time peak on both of those rosters. Sinatra’s classic has peaked at No. 11 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart, just missing out on becoming another top 10 for the crooner. The set climbed all the way to No. 15 on the Jazz Albums tally and has now spent just under two months on the rosters. Frank Sinatra’s Album With Classic Hits Sinatra released The World We Knew in the summer of 1967. The title track, which on the album is actually known as “The World We Knew (Over and…
