Spot Ethereum ETFs Could See Explosive Growth in H2 2025, Says Bitwise CIO

The Ether (ETH) price surged to $2,601 on July 2, capping a breakout that began after 16 hours of tight consolidation, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model.
The move coincided with growing institutional focus on Ethereum’s emerging role as a platform for tokenized financial products, as well as continued momentum in spot ETF inflows.
On June 30, Robinhood confirmed via X that it is building “Robinhood Chain” on Arbitrum to “power the future of asset ownership.” While the company did not specify a timeline for launch, its decision to build on Ethereum’s leading Layer-2 solution reinforces the network’s position at the center of tokenized finance. The Ethereum Foundation amplified this narrative in a response that read: “Ethereum is for tokenized stocks.”
Building on this theme, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan offered a bullish forecast on July 2. Responding to the Ethereum Foundation’s post, Hougan said: “Flows into Ethereum ETFs are going to accelerate significantly in H2. The combination of stablecoins & stocks moving over Ethereum is an easy-to-grasp narrative for traditional investors.” He noted that Ethereum ETFs attracted $1.17 billion in net inflows in June alone and suggested the second half of 2025 could see a much larger total if investor interest accelerates.
Analysts say the convergence of stablecoins, tokenized equities, and staking on Ethereum creates a compelling use case for institutional capital.
As staking locks up nearly 30% of ETH’s supply and Layer-2 usage accelerates, Ethereum is increasingly being positioned as the foundational layer for real-world asset tokenization. Market participants are now watching the $2,800 level as the next resistance zone, which, if breached, could reinforce the bullish momentum heading into the second half of the year.
Technical Analysis Highlights
- ETH climbed from $2,413 to $2,570 during the 24-hour window ending July 2 at 18:00 UTC, marking a 6.49% surge.
- Consolidation between $2,380.83 and $2,460.27 lasted 16 hours before a breakout began at 14:00 UTC.
- During the 16:00 hour, ETH gained 2.44% with volume 3.5x the 24-hour average.
- Strong support formed at $2,554.06, with buyers maintaining control despite profit-taking.
- In the final hour (17:40 to 18:39 UTC), ETH rose from $2,560.29 to $2,577.0 — up 0.65% with a 30% volume spike.
- Higher lows and a strong close near session highs indicate continued bullish momentum.

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.
