Although the crypto market has been feeling the effects of the growing global tensions, there are positive signs emerging for Ethereum (ETH). Spot Ethereum ETF inflows have risen to its highest level since 2024. In addition, ETH has formed a historic pattern that hints at a potential rally to a new ATH.
Another altcoin with building momentum is Ripple (XRP). With the first XRP ETF set to launch in North America on June 18, experts believe that the United States could join the trend. If this happens, experts believe the price of XRP could skyrocket to new ATHs.
Ethereum ETF Inflows and Historical Pattern Suggest Massive ETH Pump is Coming
In an X post, Crypto GEMs shared a report from Glassnode showing the steady inflow increase in spot Ethereum ETFs since April 2025. In addition, the report shows that this week, Ethereum recorded its third-biggest weekly inflow in history.
This is remarkable since the last time inflows were this high in 2024, the price of Ethereum pumped above $4,000. Another reason why the analyst believes the Ethereum price will pump is because of the formation of a historical pattern that last preceded a major move.
In 2017, when Ethereum consolidated for months, the altcoin exploded. From its range of $8-$15, the ETH price skyrocketed to $1,200 in 2018. According to the Ethereum price chart, there has also been in consolidation between $2,000 and $4,000 since 2024.
When ETH breaks out of the consolidation, Crypto GEMs predict a rally to a new all-time high for the leading altcoin. Based on his Ethereum price prediction, the altcoin price could record a breakout rally to $7,000.
Canada XRP ETF Launch Builds Hype, With Breakout Rally Expected
In a court filing on June 16, both parties are urging an extension of the appeal until further litigation can be avoided after their prior settlement. As the U.S. case drags on, Canada is the first nation in the continent to approve a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF).
After the ETF goes live in Canada on June 18, experts predict that the U.S. could approve a spot Ripple ETF. This implies that the price of XRP will pump following the approval. Similarly, the Ripple price chart in the three-week time frame seems to also show a 2017 setup.
Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto said that the XRP price action of 2017 led to an over 1,300% upward move to all-time highs of around $3.40. In case this breakout pattern reoccurs again, the Mkybull Crypto is of the view that the price of Ripple might see a 530% surge.
In that case, XRP may establish a new ATH above $14 by the end of the year. This projection coincides with the earlier projections of XRP hitting $27 using chart fractals, Elliott waves and Fibonacci projections.
Why You Should Keep An Eye on These Top Crypto Coins
Ethereum and XRP are at crucial points with possible significant rallies ahead. The rising inflows of institutions and historical patterns of bull run create a strong combination of evidence that a new ATH is on its way. Also, the potential approval of XRP ETFs, the end of the SEC saga, and the bullish pennant on its weekly price chart show that the altcoin could explode in 2025.
