Ethereum (ETH) price is flirting with the $4,000 level once again, rising over 2.5% in the past 24 hours and trading near $3,877. That has reignited hopes of a new leg higher and possibly a fresh all-time high. The setup might feel familiar, but the backdrop this time is very different. As July draws to a close, ETH finds itself caught in a web of converging catalysts: heavy leveraged bets, deep-pocketed ETF inflows, thinning exchange supply, and rising strength versus Bitcoin.

Unfortunately, Kraken has been seeking a $15 billion valuation for many years. As early as winter 2021, Powell was fundraising in the $10-20 billion range.…
