Ethereum Price Today: Arthur Hayes Re-Enters as ETF Demand Hits 2026 High

Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded about $365 million in net inflows during July, their strongest month of 2026, helping push bullish sentiment around Ether. The renewed institutional demand comes as BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes re-entered the market, buying back 1,337 ETH worth roughly $2.5 million just days after exiting his prior position. Together, ETF inflows and whale accumulation are fueling expectations of a potential next breakout, with key resistance set at $1,950. Technical levels also matter: Ether remains above the $1,850 support after a double-bottom reversal, but failure to defend that level could pull price action back toward $1,700–$1,750.
