Ether Surges Toward $3K on Tentative U.S.–China Trade Pact and Soft U.S. CPI Report

Ether (ETH) ETH drifted around $2,770 for most of Tuesday until roughly 8 p.m. ET, when officials said negotiators in London had forged a draft U.S.–China trade framework. The outline — till awaiting presidential approval — would see Beijing resume rare-earth exports while Washington eases curbs on advanced-technology sales.
At 8:04 a.m. ET on Wednesday, former U.S. president Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that “OUR DEAL WITH CHINA IS DONE,” pending his and President Xi’s formal approval. Trump claimed the accord would leave U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports effectively at 55 percent versus Beijing’s 10 percent, promised that China would front-load supplies of magnets and other rare-earth materials, and said Washington would uphold concessions such as continued access for Chinese students to American universities, describing the bilateral relationship as “excellent.”
Hopes for a thaw in the multi-year tariff dispute sparked an initial risk-on bid: global equity futures firmed, bitcoin ticked higher and ether pushed to about $2,780 on expanding spot turnover.
Risk appetite intensified eleven hours later, around 8:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, after the U.S. Labor Department reported that May headline and core CPI each rose just 0.1 percent month on month, undercutting economists’ 0.2 percent forecasts. The cooler print fueled expectations the Federal Reserve could trim rates later this year, driving Treasury yields and the dollar lower while extending gains in equities.
Against that macro backdrop, ether vaulted from the upper-$2,780s to an intraday high of $2,873.46, with spot volume swelling to roughly 527,000 coins (~$1.47 billion), according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model.
Structural tailwinds remain strong. Staked ETH climbed to a record 34.65 million tokens (≈28.7 percent of supply), exchange-traded funds logged a 16-day inflow streak near $900 million, and futures open interest printed a fresh high above $21.7 billion — all underscoring steady institutional engagement. BlackRock’s reported $500 million accumulation over the past ten days exemplifies that theme.
Traders now look for a decisive close above $2,900 to open a potential run at the psychological $3,000 mark, while guarding against a pullback toward the newly established $2,750–$2,760 support band.
Technical Analysis Highlights
- Trend: Series of higher lows since June 9 and a fresh higher high at $2,873 confirm an accelerating up-channel.
- Volume confirmation: CPI-triggered candle printed the day’s largest bar (≈527 K ETH), validating Tuesday’s breakout above $2,800.
- Support / resistance: Immediate support sits at $2,750–$2,760; upside targets are $2,900 and the psychological $3,000 zone, followed by a secondary hurdle near $3,120.
- Momentum: Hourly RSI holds above 60, indicating room to extend before overbought conditions emerge.

Crypto Trading Firm Keyrock Buys Luxembourg’s Turing Capital in Asset Management Push

Crypto trading firm Keyrock said it’s expanding into asset and wealth management by acquiring Turing Capital, a Luxembourg-registered alternative investment fund manager.
The deal, announced on Tuesday, marks the launch of Keyrock’s Asset and Wealth Management division, a new business unit dedicated to institutional clients and private investors.
Keyrock, founded in Brussels, Belgium and best known for its work in market making, options and OTC trading, said it will fold Turing Capital’s investment strategies and Luxembourg fund management structure into its wider platform. The division will be led by Turing Capital co-founder Jorge Schnura, who joins Keyrock’s executive committee as president of the unit.
The company said the expansion will allow it to provide services across the full lifecycle of digital assets, from liquidity provision to long-term investment strategies. «In the near future, all assets will live onchain,» Schnura said, noting that the merger positions the group to capture opportunities as traditional financial products migrate to blockchain rails.
Keyrock has also applied for regulatory approval under the EU’s crypto framework MiCA through a filing with Liechtenstein’s financial regulator. If approved, the firm plans to offer portfolio management and advisory services, aiming to compete directly with traditional asset managers as well as crypto-native players.
«Today’s launch sets the stage for our longer-term ambition: bringing asset management on-chain in a way that truly meets institutional standards,» Keyrock CSO Juan David Mendieta said in a statement.

Gemini Shares Slide 6%, Extending Post-IPO Slump to 24%

Gemini Space Station (GEMI), the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has seen its shares tumble by more than 20% since listing on the Nasdaq last Friday.
The stock is down around 6% on Tuesday, trading at $30.42, and has dropped nearly 24% over the past week. The sharp decline follows an initial surge after the company raised $425 million in its IPO, pricing shares at $28 and valuing the firm at $3.3 billion before trading began.
On its first day, GEMI spiked to $45.89 before closing at $32 — a 14% premium to its offer price. But since hitting that high, shares have plunged more than 34%, erasing most of the early enthusiasm from public market investors.
The broader crypto equity market has remained more stable. Coinbase (COIN), the largest U.S. crypto exchange, is flat over the past week. Robinhood (HOOD), which derives part of its revenue from crypto, is down 3%. Token issuer Circle (CRCL), on the other hand, is up 13% over the same period.
Part of the pressure on Gemini’s stock may stem from its financials. The company posted a $283 million net loss in the first half of 2025, following a $159 million loss in all of 2024. Despite raising fresh capital, the numbers suggest the business is still far from turning a profit.
Compass Point analyst Ed Engel noted that GEMI is currently trading at 26 times its annualized first-half revenue. That multiple — often used to gauge whether a stock is expensive — means investors are paying 26 dollars for every dollar the company is expected to generate in sales this year. For a loss-making company in a volatile sector, that’s a steep price, and could be fueling investor skepticism.
