ETH Ushers in "Golden July"? Institutions and Supply-Demand Dynamics Could Become New Catalysts for Ethereum's "New Cycle"

Odaily News, Sharplink research director Steven Ehrlich stated on platform X that Ethereum (ETH) has started July 2026 with strong momentum, gaining approximately 11% so far this month. Historical data suggests investors should pay attention to ETH's July performance. Over the past 10 years, ETH has posted gains in July on four occasions, with an average increase of 43% in those months. Since 2020, July has been ETH's strongest-performing month, with an average gain of about 27%, leading all other months.

The core advantage of ETH's July performance is not simply volatility but the asymmetry between gains and losses: when July is positive, the average gain is approximately 43%; in losing years, the average decline is only about 5% (2020 to 2025). Historically, strong Julys for ETH have often coincided with Ethereum-specific catalysts:

July 2020: Gained 54%, marking the launch of "DeFi Summer." Compound introduced the COMP token, triggering a yield farming frenzy. DeFi total value locked (TVL) surged from about $1 billion to $4 billion within weeks, DEX monthly trading volume grew by 174%, and ETH benefited as the foundational infrastructure of DeFi.

July 2022: Gained 58%. The timeline for The Merge upgrade was confirmed on July 14, market sentiment rebounded from the post-LUNA and 3AC crisis low, and approximately $337 million in short positions were liquidated within 3 days.

July 2025: Gained 49%. The US GENIUS Act was signed, spot ETH ETFs recorded a record monthly inflow of approximately $5.4 billion, corporate capital accelerated its allocation to ETH, staking rate reached about 30%, and declining exchange balances contributed to supply tightness.

Historically, ETH's strong monthly rallies have typically been driven by a combination of "Ethereum-specific catalysts plus supply-demand imbalance." For July 2026, Steven Ehrlich believes the current market environment presents similar opportunities:

1. Institutional infrastructure is being built. EthLabs (protocol R&D) and Ethereum Institutional were recently launched to drive institutional participation in the on-chain ecosystem, with participants including Sharplink, BitMine, and Joe Lubin.

2. The Ethereum roadmap continues to upgrade. Vitalik Buterin proposed the "Lean Ethereum" plan on July 4, aiming to simplify Ethereum's architecture, increase speed, and enhance quantum resistance over the next 3 to 4 years. Its significance is comparable to The Merge.

3. Corporate capital continues to accumulate ETH. Digital asset reserve companies are still actively building their ETH positions. Sharplink currently holds 886,725 ETH, added 10,000 ETH in purchases last week, and stated its goal is to increase the amount of ETH per share.

Steven Ehrlich stated that Ethereum is entering a new phase of development, where institutional adoption, technological upgrades, and capital allocation may become key factors driving ETH's price action.

Conflict Continues: AMC CEO Demands Robinhood Clarify Whether Its Overseas Stock Tokenization Business Complies with SEC Rules
Odaily News: AMC CEO Adam Aron has once again posted on X, stating that Robinhood claims to support the SEC's new rules regarding U.S. stock tokenization, and demanding that Robinhood clarify whether its international business will follow the same principles set forth by the SEC. He stated that if Robinhood's offshore business in Jersey does not comply with the relevant principles, it would constitute a distortion and mockery of the correct practices required by the SEC.

ASML Earnings Preview: Capacity Expansion Guidance in Investor Focus
Odaily: ASML Holding NV (ASML.O)'s capacity expansion guidance has become a key focal point on its earnings release day. As the semiconductor sector's rally loses momentum, investors are eager for signs of confidence, making the capacity guidance all the more significant. After a strong rally in the first half of the year, semiconductor stocks have recently cooled off. Following another decline in US chip stocks, South Korean chipmakers' shares fell to a two-month low on Tuesday. Over the next 48 hours, investors will closely watch the earnings performance of ASML and its key customer TSMC, hoping the two companies can shore up market confidence.Ben Barringer, Head of Technology Research at Quilter Cheviot, said: "Capacity is the biggest focus for the market right now. With no visibility into order data and limited backlog information, it is crucial for the company to raise its capacity targets." ASML previously stopped disclosing quarterly order data, citing significant order volatility, and instead began providing guidance on the number of units it expects to produce this year and in the coming years. Investors are increasingly relying on this metric to gauge demand strength and ASML's ability to expand supply. (Jinshi)

Exclusive: Japan's Central Bank Leans Toward Avoiding Back-to-Back Rate Hike in October
Odaily News: According to foreign media reports, sources familiar with the matter revealed that Bank of Japan officials lean toward not implementing a rare back-to-back rate hike this month, but still keep the possibility of a rate hike as early as December on the table. The sources said that, absent any signs of a sudden rise in upside inflation risks, BOJ officials see no need for consecutive rate hikes. The central bank will carefully assess economic data to evaluate whether a new round of rate hikes can be launched at its December meeting.The sources said the final policy decision at the October 30 meeting could still change at the last minute. To contain upside inflation risks, the policy board led by Governor Kazuo Ueda raised interest rates to 1.25% last month. This followed pressure from Bessent for Japan to continue advancing policy normalization and help strengthen the yen. (Jinshi)
