The market is in a cautious stalemate ahead of Jerome Powell's speech, with Bitcoin showing lower highs, ETF outflows, and a falling Coinbase premium signaling weak domestic demand.
Under the surface, strategic moves — a whale selling BTC and going long ETH via Hyperliquid — and continued institutional steps (DBS tokenization, MetaMask’s planned stablecoin) indicate growing infrastructure and confidence.
Experts differ: some expect a measured ETH recovery while others foresee macro catalysts and a potential altcoin ignition in October–late 2025; short-term volatility is likely, but medium-term upside remains plausible.
