Ether Price Climbs to $3,327 as Ethereum Outpaces Bitcoin in Price Action Amid Capital Concentrating in ETH

ethereum-blue3 main

Ethereum (ETH) has outperformed Bitcoin (BTC) in terms of price action in the most recent weeks. According to data revealed today by market analyst Crypto Patel, Ether has surged its price to its strongest level (currently at $3,339.62) since late November, leading to robust market gains against Bitcoin, which currently hovers at $92,695.08.

Since November 21, 2025, when the two crypto assets saw their lowest prices ($2,626 and $80,659), Ethereum has experienced stronger surges than Bitcoin. This shows that funds are rotating into ETH from the largest cryptocurrency.

Strategic Ether Accumulation and Market Implications

Over the past three weeks, ETH outpaced BTC in both price movements and corporate financial inflows, reinforcing the narrative of money circulation from BTC into ETH and major altcoins. Data shared by the analyst indicates that Ethereum has been experiencing stronger accumulations than Bitcoin during the recent correction period, mainly spurred by institutional appetite.

As BTC continues to hold strong above the $90k mark, a reflection of ongoing confidence in the wider crypto market, whales (also commonly recognized as institutional investors) are making strategic moves elsewhere, silently loading up on ETH. With Ether continuing to trade at what several market participants consider as a market discount, big investors are capitalizing on the lower prices to build up their investment portfolios.

Earlier this week, on Monday, two major institutional players (Amber Group and Metalpha) conducted a massive ETH accumulation strategy collectively worth $28.2 million from Binance. Crypto market maker Amber Group withdrew 6,000 ETH worth $18.8 million from Binance while Hong-based digital asset manager Metalpha pulled out 3,000 ETH valued at $9.4 million from the exchange. These strategic actions not only signal significant shifts in market dynamics but also point out that whales are massively buying ETH tokens, showing their conviction in the largest altcoin. Such accumulation patterns typically decrease the immediate selling pressure on exchanges and predict upcoming bullish moves on Ethereum.

ETH Approaches $3,300 Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Today, ETH further extended its price gains, currently standing at $3,339, up 6.5% and 8.4% over the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. The catalyst behind the upturn includes whale purchasing activity and positive macroeconomic conditions, especially a potential Fed rate cut. The latest data reported today by CryptoQuant identified that large investors bought almost 400k ETH between Sunday and Monday as the US Fed is anticipated to cut interest rates by 25 bps this week.

Today, Ethereum climbed above $3,300 for the first time since November 13 as the expected interest rate cuts sparked bullish sentiment across prominent crypto assets.

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…
