Ethereum’s price in 2025 has been stuck in a pattern that is neither bullish nor bearish. It has been moving in a tight range, high enough to scare off new buyers but stable enough to avoid panic. ETH has been rejected just below $3,900 for months, and its key support at $2,900 has held. Between those levels, liquidity fades, momentum stalls and direction becomes uncertain.

Ethereum’s credibility is not in question, but…

FTX creditors may receive far less than initially believed once payouts are adjusted for today’s inflated crypto valuations, according to Sunil, a prominent FTX creditor representative. In a Sunday post on X, Sunil estimated that the real crypto recovery rate for FTX creditors ranges between 9% and 46%, noting that the actual value could be even lower as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL) prices have surged since the exchange’s collapse in 2022. “FTX creditors are not whole,” he wrote, adding that the exchange’s planned 143% fiat repayment doesn’t reflect losses in crypto-denominated terms. According to a table shared…
