Ethereum (ETH)

Techbullion.com reports that U.S. spot crypto ETFs attracted $1.75 billion in a single week, with Bitcoin funds receiving $924 million and Ethereum funds drawing $824 million. This inflow made August 2026 one of the strongest months for these products, signaling a real recovery driven by institutional money. The outlet argues that the best crypto to invest in is not the coin that already moved, but Pepeto, which raised $10.9 million during a period of volatility.
Pepeto features a cross-chain bridge, a zero-fee swap engine, and risk guard technology built by the mind behind the original Pepe. The token trades at $0.0000001892 with a 164% staking APY and has an anticipated Binance listing that could reprice the asset. Meanwhile, Ethereum gained 17.5% on August 20 after President Trump pushed Congress to pass the Clarity Act.
ETH printed fresh highs near $2,507 before pulling back to $2,466 as the Jackson Hole speech cooled risk appetite. Ethereum ETFs extended a 10-session inflow streak, though the August 2025 ATH of $4,953 remains 51% above the current price. The outlet contrasts this with AVAX, which trades near $7.20 with $488.5 million in DeFi total value locked. AVAX sits 95% below its November 2021 ATH of $147.50, requiring years of patience to reach previous highs compared to the presale returns of Pepeto.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ETH, measured when this story was written up on 1 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data for Ethereum shows a price of $2,467.65 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 53.7%, indicating short-term bullish pressure. This contrasts with the 4-hour buy ratio of 46.3% and the 24-hour ratio of 49.8%, suggesting that buying momentum is fading over longer timeframes. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at $1,204,318, while the 4-hour and 24-hour deltas are negative at -$3,600,555 and -$2,653,523 respectively. A negative cumulative volume delta of -$2,836,290 at the 24-hour close confirms that sellers have dominated the day's volume of $649,538,839. The buy ratio represents the percentage of trades executed on the buy side, while the volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume. While the 1-hour data shows aggressive buying, the broader 24-hour trend indicates net outflows from the market.
The latest daily buy ratio of 46.8% sits at the 16th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.5% - weaker buying than most days.
Twenty-four hours later
What ETH did over the 23 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ETH, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, Ethereum saw a 7-day average buy ratio of 48.9%, with the latest day showing a slight increase of 0.9 points. Volume was recorded at 0.86x the average, and the price changed by -0.6% over eight days. The total volume delta for the week was -$146,691,791, with net buying occurring on only 3 of 7 days. Compared to the 24-hour negative delta of -$2,653,523, the weekly outflow of -$146,691,791 indicates a sustained period of selling pressure. This weekly context suggests that the recent 1-hour buying spike is an isolated event within a broader trend of declining volume and net outflows.
