Ethereum Breaks $3,900 Barrier: Institutional Confidence Drives Gains

Ethereum crossed the $3,900 mark on October 19, 2025, reporting a 0.59% daily gain. This surge is driven by significant institutional activity and rising retail enthusiasm, evidenced by whale transactions and the Korea Premium Index’s recent spike. Binance reports over $964.4 million in 24-hour spot trading volume, while whales have made noteworthy purchases of over 4,300 ETH worth around $17 million. The market remains highly volatile as these levels are considered to be significant breakouts for the cryptocurrency.
