$2B ETH Buy Sparks Record Reserves

Key Insights:

  • Strategic ETH reserves climbed to $22.52B after large holders added $2B in just one month.
  • ETF holdings rise to $20.85B as institutional interest in Ethereum continues to build steadily.
  • ETH tests 200-day moving average again, raising concerns over a possible 20% price pullback.
$2B ETH Buy Sparks Record Reserves, But a Crash May Be Next

In the last 30 days, Ethereum (ETH) has seen an inflow of over $2 billion into strategic reserves, pushing the total held to 6.81 million ETH, worth around $22.52 billion. This growth comes without a rise in the number of participants, which remains steady at 67, suggesting that existing holders have increased their positions rather than new players entering the market.

At the same time, ETF holdings of Ethereum have grown to 6.31 million ETH, valued at approximately $20.85 billion. The purchase-to-issuance ratio stands at 6.8x, indicating that demand for ETH is much higher than the current supply. This trend reflects growing interest from large investors through structured investment channels.

Price Stalls Below Long-Term Resistance

Ethereum was facing price resistance around the 200-day moving average (MA200). The chart shows that ETH has failed to break above this line multiple times in recent months. After each rejection, the price dropped—once by 27%, and another time by 21%.

Today, ETH is trading just under this same level. A similar pattern is beginning to form. If the trend continues, the market could see another pullback toward the $2,600 to $2,700 range. “Now ETH is rejecting the MA200 again… If history rhymes, another 20% reset isn’t off the table,” one analyst posted earlier.

This moving average continues to act as a barrier. Whether the price breaks through or faces another rejection may shape what comes next in the market.

Key Support Zone Holds on Pullback

ETH has recently moved into a known support area between the 0.618 and 0.75 Fibonacci levels. This zone also lines up with a horizontal support region where price has previously bounced.

The market saw a sharp decline into this level, but the support held on the first test. Some traders expect a bounce from here, with possible targets near the recent highs around $3,440. The next few sessions may show whether this level leads to a recovery or if further downside follows.

Current Market Snapshot

At the time of reporting, Ethereum was priced at $3,217.25, down 3.5% over the last 24 hours. Over the past week, ETH has gained 2.8%. Daily trading volume is around $30.8 billion, showing strong market activity.

Short-term movement remains tied to the key support and resistance levels now in play. Long-term holders appear to be adding to positions, while traders are closely watching for confirmation of the next direction.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
