Ethereum Price Prediction: Supply Shock Could Send ETH Above $3,000
Ethereum trades at just above $2,500, but the flat 24-hour print masks a more interesting story underneath that could flip its price prediction trajectory. Exchange balances are drying up. Whales are pulling coins off order books faster than most traders realize.
ETH rallied to an eight-month high of $2,660 before pulling back into the current consolidation zone near $2,474–$2,515. Over $300 million worth of ETH was left on exchanges during that advance, and the trend hasn’t reversed.
Exchange-held supply has fallen to roughly 14.7 million ETH, down sharply from prior highs above 20 million, while nearly 43 million ETH, or about 35% of total supply, sits locked in staking contracts. That’s a meaningful chunk of circulating supply removed from active sell-side liquidity.
The setup echoes a prior triangle pattern that preceded a 30.91% rally, and macro conditions are adding another layer to watch; rate-hike odds and inflation data remain wildcards for risk assets broadly, including ETH.

Ethereum Price Prediction: Can ETH Hit $3,000 This Week?
ETH is holding at $2,510, essentially flat over 24 hours, inside a tightening triangle formation. Buyers keep defending higher lows near $2,400–$2,430, while sellers cap advances close to $2,626. That’s a classic coiling pattern, the kind that eventually resolves with force in one direction.
The 20-day EMA sits near $2,293.75 and the 200-day EMA around $2,161.32, both sloping upward and keeping the broader trend intact. A close above the triangle’s upper boundary at $2,626 opens a path toward $2,800 and then $3,000. Failure to hold $2,380–$2,400 support flips the script and exposes ETH to a deeper retest of the mid-$2,300s.
Bull case: breakout above $2,626, supply squeeze accelerates, $3,000+ within reach. Base case: continued sideways grind between $2,400 and $2,600 while the market waits on macro catalysts. Bear case: support fails, $2,300 becomes the next battleground.

LiquidChain Targets Early Mover Upside as Ethereum Tests Key Levels
ETH holders sitting on gains from the $1,550 bottom have already captured the bulk of this move, and a breakout to $3,000 is a solid trade, not a life-changing one at this market cap. That math is pushing a segment of traders toward earlier-stage infrastructure plays where upside isn’t capped by a trillion-dollar valuation.
LiquidChain ($LIQUID) is a Layer 3 infrastructure project fusing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity into a single execution environment. With Liquid, developers deploy once and reach all three ecosystems, rather than fragmenting liquidity across chains.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday that he would “love to see” a united Ireland and believed it was “going to happen eventually,” breaking with decades of careful neutrality by U.S. presidents over Northern Ireland’s constitutional status.
“You have Northern Ireland, and you have Ireland,” Trump told reporters on Sunday while visiting a golf tournament at one of his resorts in the Irish village of Doonbeg. “It would seem to me that one of the ‘naturals’ of all time is to put them together.”
It’s also not the first time Trump has discussed Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic: he joked about a “merger” of the two in March, though the Northern Ireland official he was addressing at the time, who opposes unification, emphasized that the comment was clearly in jest only.
The President seemed aware that his recent remarks would garner backlash, particularly from the British. “The U.K. would have something to say about it obviously, but I think it would be a great thing,” he said Saturday, while in conversation with Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin. “I mean, how can it be bad?”
Trump’s statements come weeks after newly installed U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said there was not enough public support for a referendum on Northern Ireland’s future. Other British politicians have balked at Trump’s statements, arguing that Northern Ireland is indisputably part of the U.K.
Martin also downplayed the U.S. leader’s remarks. “It shouldn’t be a surprise,” Martin told reporters on Sunday, adding that Trump “takes a different sort of perspective on things.” The Irish leader said that some responses to Trump, however, were an overreaction.
“They asked me about Scotland—that one I won’t talk about yet,” Trump said Sunday, referencing another country divided on leaving the U.K. The Trump family also owns a golf resort in Scotland, which voted against independence from the rest of Great Britain in 2014. “I’ll save that for another day.”
Why Ireland is divided—and how reunification could happen
The island of Ireland was divided in 1921 following the Irish War of Independence. While a northern region of six counties remained part of the U.K., the rest of the island, comprising 26 counties, became the Irish Free State, which eventually became a sovereign republic in 1949.
From the 1960s, tensions in the north between largely Catholic Irish nationalists, or republicans, who wish to reunite with the Republic of Ireland, and mainly Protestant unionists who want to stay with Britain culminated in a three-decade, violent period known as the Troubles.
A 1998 peace agreement—dubbed the Good Friday Agreement and mediated in large part by the U.S.—ended the violence and recognized the right of those in Northern Ireland to recognize themselves as British, Irish, or both. It also recognized that Northern Ireland’s status must be based on democratic consent.
Following the agreement, Northern Ireland has not yet held a referendum. But Irish nationalism gained momentum when Sinn Féin, the predominant Irish republican party, won the most seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2022. It was the first time a republican party dominated the assembly since Northern Ireland’s formation, though Sinn Féin must still share power with unionists under local laws. Polls, however, show that the Northern Irish public is still divided on whether it should leave the U.K., and Sinn Féin in Northern Ireland has focused on socioeconomic issues over reunification in recent years.
In the Republic of Ireland, Sinn Féin is the largest single party, but it belongs to the opposition after two more moderate center-right parties formed the government following the 2024 election, with Martin as the current leader. Some have criticized the Irish government under Martin for its slow uptake of the unification issue. Ireland’s Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald said after Trump’s comments: “The conversation on Irish unity has shifted, and the onus is on the Taoiseach to begin planning.”
Claire Hanna, who leads the small nationalist Social Democratic and Labour Party in Northern Ireland, also welcomed Trump’s support. “Turns out he’s not as orange as he looks,” Hanna said, in reference to the political color associated with the Protestant and unionist community in Ireland.
How British politicians responded to Trump’s remarks
The 1998 Good Friday Agreement stipulates that the U.K.’s Northern Ireland secretary can decide to hold a poll and must call one if they believe a majority would vote for Irish reunification. Chris Bryant, the incumbent secretary, posted this section of the agreement on social media amid Trump’s unification remarks, adding: “Just in case anyone should need a quick refresher course on constitutional matters in Northern Ireland.”
In a visit to Northern Ireland last month, Burnham said that calling for such a poll is “off the table,” citing the divisiveness of past votes on Brexit and Scottish independence. “We’ve got to focus on bringing people together as best we can,” the British Prime Minister told the BBC.
The U.S. President also rankled some on the British far-right who usually side with him. “Northern Ireland is a proud and integral part of the United Kingdom,” Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, a known Trump ally, wrote on social media, explaining that “the people of Northern Ireland neither want a referendum, nor unification.” Rupert Lowe, another British parliamentarian who heads the Restore Britain party, called Trump’s statements “unacceptable” and “insulting,” and suggested that the President “should not be aiming to permanently damage our country to get back at the current malign Labour Government.”
Lowe’s claims come as Trump has expressed frustration over the U.K.’s refusal to get involved in the U.S.’s war against Iran.
Kemi Badenoch, who leads the opposition Conservative Party, posted on social media that Trump was “shooting from the hip as usual, just like he did with Greenland and Canada becoming the 51st state,” though she argued that “this sort of loose talk about the future of democratic countries is deeply unhelpful and creates unnecessary tension.”
Despite Bitcoin failing to hold above $80,000 following the recent rally, the cryptocurrency is unlikely to revisit the lower price levels it has hovered near for much of this year, according to CoinMarketCap Head of Research Alice Liu.
“I think we might have already touched the bottom,” Liu tells Cointelegraph on Trade Secrets, referring to Bitcoin falling to around $59,000 in June this year, approximately 53% below its October all-time high of $126,100.
Bitcoin recently tapped $81,600 at the start of September, an approximate 28% rally since mid-August. It pushed the CoinMarketCap Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which measures overall sentiment in the crypto market, back up to Greed after posting Fear scores for most of the year.
However, Liu says some of the more interesting narratives are unfolding outside Bitcoin, particularly in the markets for tokenized real-world assets and perpetual futures. “For Hype [Hyperliquid], there are two things I want to mention. Number one is the activity, and number two is the price, because the network activity doesn’t necessarily translate to the price, and vice versa,” she says.
Hyperliquid ‘still leads’ says Alice Liu
“One interesting thing is I was looking at the RWA perps for the past two months, so the perpetrals backed onto tokenized stocks, tokenized ETFs, and tokenized indices,” she says. Liu said that while Hyperliquid currently holds market share, that might not always be the case as centralized exchanges swoop in.
“Tokenization of the perps, people normally traded on Hyperliquid. But since Binance started to launch the RWA perps, the volume and liquidity quickly moved to Binance,” Liu says.
“Binance takes about 50% of the market share. But when it comes to DEX, Hyperliquid still leads in that space,” she says.

“Hyperliquid is still a venue where a lot of the liquidity is getting aggregated, and a lot of the product’s scale is created there.”
On the Hyperliquid token’s price, Liu points to a different driver. “Hype did hit an all-time high recently: $86. And what’s really interesting is the buybacks.” She explains that Hyperliquid is leading the pack in token buybacks, which is when a project uses its revenue to buy back its own tokens on the open market.
“Hype has spent over $400 million USD on token buybacks. So I think some of this price action momentum we’re seeing is supported by that as well,” Liu says.
She says that Hyperliquid only has a small amount of tokens unlocked, so we’ll continue to see the token unlocks gradually come out.
Alice Liu is more cautious on the AI-crypto narrative
Liu says that means the Hype price is dependent on revenue flowing in to support buybacks.
“So, will we have enough activity on the network to generate the revenue to continue with the buybacks to support the price level? I think that’s one of the key things to watch.”
While Liu remains bullish on Hyperliquid, she is more cautious on the AI-crypto narrative, particularly AI tokens with little or no utility that surged in popularity in late 2023.
“They are facing such big competition at the moment with the actual AI stocks, all the memory stocks, and all the AI companies. So I think that might be the competitor they’re facing,” Liu says
“For the previous cycle meme-ified AI tokens that do not have any utility or infrastructure, and are purely just backing onto a concept. I think those could potentially go to zero,” she says.
However, Liu emphasizes that there are “some really solid” AI infrastructure projects. “I think they will have utilities too. But even then, I think they’re likely to get a price discount,” she says.
Liu says Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are being underestimated as a place to park funds in the current economic environment, but she takes a more conservative view than Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood, who have both predicted Bitcoin will reach $1 million by 2030.
“Bitcoin to $500K by 2030,” Liu laughs.
“It’s not unlikely that we might hit one million, but I’ll give it a more conservative answer,” Liu adds.

Cross-chain liquidity protocol Symbiosis said it recovered 15 Bitcoin, worth around $1.1 million, from a Bitcoin bridge exploit it suffered Friday.
Symbiosis said it recovered 15 Bitcoin (BTC) into a team-controlled multi-sig wallet and clarified that all routes remain operational, according to a Friday X post. The exploit affected Symbiosis’ native Bitcoin bridge, which remains paused.
The attacker’s address minted 46.1 billion unbacked tokens from the protocol’s Bitcoin bridge but realized net proceeds of 4.3 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), worth $336,000, according to blockchain security company Blockaid, which flagged the exploit on Friday. The protocol has not specified how the recovered Bitcoin relates to the $336,000 in proceeds attributed to the attacker.
Symbiosis is now offering a 20% bounty to anyone who provides information that leads to asset recovery. The protocol initially offered a 20% white-hat bounty for the attacker to return the funds, but the deadline expired on Sunday. The protocol said it will reveal a compensation framework for affected liquidity providers.
DefiLlama clocked around $336,000 lost in the exploit, but the protocol has yet to disclose its final accounting of losses incurred.
Bridge exploits continue testing DeFi
In June, Secret Network suffered an “infinite mint” exploit that drained about $4.6 million from the protocol.
In May, the Verus-Ethereum bridge was drained in a forged cross-chain transfer exploit for 5,402 Ether, then worth about $11.6 million. The hacker returned 75% of the stolen funds and kept about 1,350 Ether, or $2.8 million, a day after the protocol offered it a 25% white-hat bounty.

The EU is telling cryptocurrency hardware and software wallet providers that they have 24 hours from awareness to report actively exploited bugs or severe security vulnerabilities affecting their products.
The measure is part of the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which took effect on Friday, according to an announcement from the European Commission.
Manufacturers must submit an early warning for severe vulnerabilities within 24 hours, followed by a full notification within 72 hours. A final report will be required 14 days after corrective or mitigating measures are available and within one month for severe incidents.
The EC said the new reporting requirements aim to better protect consumers and businesses from cyber threats. The measure extends to all products “with digital elements made available in the EU” and builds on the EU’s broader cybersecurity strategy.
Cointelegraph has approached the European Commission for more details surrounding the cybersecurity measures.

Fines could reach $17 million
Companies that fail to adhere to the cybersecurity measures under Articles 13 and 14 may face an administrative fine of up to 15 million euros ($17.3 million) or 2.5% of worldwide annual turnover, depending on which figure is higher, according to the penalties section of the final draft.
Supplying incorrect, incomplete or misleading information will also subject companies to an administrative fine of up to 5 million euros.
Excerpt from Final Text, European Cyber Resilience Act. Source: European-Cyber-Resilience-Act.com
The measure was revealed weeks after two popular hardware wallet providers disclosed user data breaches that could lead to phishing or social engineering attempts.
On Sept. 4, hardware wallet provider Trezor revealed that an additional 67,000 US customers were at risk from the data breach suffered by its shipping provider, ShipMonk, exceeding the initially estimated 14,000 users.
On Wednesday, Trezor and BitBox warned users about phishing emails disguised as urgent security notices after suspected compromises involving third-party email services.
In June, Layer-1 blockchain network Zilliqa warned that a vulnerability in the Zilliqa Ledger app could allow attackers to recover users’ private keys using publicly available onchain data.
Cointelegraph has approached wallet makers Trezor and Ledger for comment on how wallet providers would comply with the new reporting requirements.

Elon Musk signaled on September 14 that Grok 5, xAI’s next major model, is the version he expects to reach artificial general intelligence (AGI).
The billionaire made the claim across two related posts on X, sparking immediate debate among researchers and traders alike.
What Musk Actually Said About Grok 5
Artificial general intelligence, or AGI, describes AI systems capable of matching or exceeding human performance across a wide range of intellectual tasks, rather than excelling at narrow, specific functions. That distinction sits at the center of Musk’s latest comments.
Earlier that day, Musk announced that Grok 4.8, a 2.5-trillion-parameter model built on xAI’s new C++ software stack, would finish training within the week and move into reinforcement learning. When a user asked how close Grok 4.8 would come to AGI, Musk replied simply: “That will be Grok 5.”
He followed up minutes later with a clearer roadmap. Grok 4.7, he said, performs roughly on par with Anthropic’s Opus 5.0, stronger in some areas and weaker in others, with multimodal capabilities still needing work.
Grok 4.8 would deliver a noticeable improvement, while Grok 4.9 would likely reach Astra or Fable-class performance. Looking further ahead, Musk wrote: “Grok 5 maybe better than anything. We shall see.”
Follow us on X to get the latest news as it happens.
xAI has pursued aggressive scaling since launch, combining massive compute clusters with distinctive data sources, including real-time information from X and specialized engineering knowledge drawn from SpaceX.
That approach has enabled the company to close performance gaps with longer-established labs in a comparatively short timeframe.
Why Does This AGI Timeline Matter Right Now?
If Grok 5 delivers capabilities at or beyond human-level performance, the implications extend well beyond chatbot benchmarks.
Musk has previously argued that advanced AI systems could dramatically expand global economic output within just a few years, accelerating progress across fields ranging from scientific research to robotics and software development.
That same potential carries serious risk, however. Current concerns center on systems pursuing goals misaligned with human values, the difficulty of maintaining reliable control once models exceed human intelligence in key domains, and the possibility of rapid, hard-to-predict capability jumps.
Job displacement, concentration of power among a handful of companies, and the misuse of powerful models by bad actors round out the list that experts continue debating.
The timing adds an unusual wrinkle. Musk made these AGI comments the same day he publicly backed a separate call from Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, urging the AI industry to slow the pace of capability development, a pairing that highlights the tension between racing toward AGI and simultaneously warning about its dangers.
Whether Grok 5 ultimately fulfills Musk’s expectations remains genuinely uncertain. xAI’s trajectory nonetheless underscores two things happening at once: the accelerating pace of frontier AI progress, and the growing urgency around addressing the risks that progress brings, even according to the people building it.

Blockchain Week Bulgaria has confirmed its agenda and speaker lineup for both flagship conferences: ETHSofia, taking place Sept. 24, and F3: Future Finance Forum, taking place Sept. 25. The two-day event will bring more than 50 confirmed speakers to Sofia Tech Park.
The program spans from Ethereum’s technical core to the institutions moving regulated finance onchain.
Speakers confirmed across both conferences include representatives from Chainlink Labs, J.P. Morgan Payments, Bitpanda, CertiK, ChainSecurity, Crédit Agricole CIB, Commerzbank AG, the Digital Euro Association, Eversheds Sutherland, Franklin Templeton, the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, the Bulgarian Financial Supervision Commission, and the Ethereum Foundation.
ETHSofia, Third Edition: Program Highlights and Speakers
Now in its third edition, ETHSofia brings together developers, protocol teams, founders, and security researchers to dig into the technical core of the Ethereum ecosystem.
This year’s agenda covers smart contract security and OPSEC, DeFi, RWA tokenization, Ethereum development, onchain privacy, scaling, and self-custody. Security specialists from CertiK and ChainSecurity, infrastructure builders from Chainlink Labs and Aave Chain Initiative, and voices from the Ethereum Foundation are among those taking the stage.
“I work on the EU rules that decide how crypto-asset markets, AML compliance and privacy on public, permissionless blockchains fit together, not traded off against each other. Ethereum’s CROPS framework gets that right: privacy has to be non-negotiable at the protocol level, and EU law needs to make room for it across payments, compliance and infrastructure alike.” Vyara Savova, Senior Policy Expert, European Ethereum Institute.
F3: Future Finance Forum, Banks, Regulators, and Asset Managers on the Same Stage
F3 puts the institutional side of digital assets front and center, bringing banks, regulators, and asset managers onto the same stage to discuss how tokenization, custody, and digital-asset infrastructure are moving from pilot to production.
Confirmed speakers include representatives from J.P. Morgan Payments, Crédit Agricole CIB, Commerzbank AG, Franklin Templeton, Bitpanda, the Digital Euro Association, Eversheds Sutherland, the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, and the Bulgarian Financial Supervision Commission, covering MiCA and the regulatory landscape in Bulgaria, institutional digital-asset portfolios, RWA, custody, payments, and AI-driven financial infrastructure.
“The digital euro’s decisive challenge is adoption, not technology. Europe should position it as a sovereign public settlement layer, with banks and fintechs leading and competing on the customer experience above it. Without compelling economics, seamless integration, and clear everyday utility, it risks becoming technically impressive infrastructure with limited relevance.” Bojidar Ibrishimov, VP Growth & Innovation at Wiser
Tickets Are Still Available
Tickets for Blockchain Week Bulgaria are currently available, including a combined ticket giving access to both ETHSofia and F3: Future Finance Forum. The combined experience also includes networking opportunities, lunch and coffee breaks, the closing party, and event swag.

[PRESS RELEASE – Willemstad, Curaçao, September 14th, 2026]
BetFury, a leading crypto casino, is setting sail this autumn with Fury Cruise: All Aboard – a platform-wide event running from September 14 to 27, 2026. Across two weeks, players can participate in a series of promotions featuring the $100,000 prize pool. One ultimate destination sits above the rest: one fortunate user will win a full week of VIP Club status on BetFury, regardless of their current platform Rank.
What’s Inside the Fury Cruise
The event runs on BetFury crypto casino with several promotions in parallel across the entire two-week period. They include the Mission Voyage, a Check-In Bonus Roulette, a First-Class Raffle, lucrative giveaways, and various exclusive Promo codes.
Check-In Bonus Roulette
Each day aboard brings a fresh turn on deck. The Check-In Bonus Roulette works as a bonus randomizer, and every spin can land Free Spins, Bonus Bets, a Deposit Bonus, and more. It rewards players for staying active through the event, with each check-in during the voyage opening another chance at a prize.
First-Class Raffle
The First-Class Raffle is where a single ticket can move a player to first class. It carries the event’s headline prize, with tickets issued for wagering across Slots, Live, Original games, and crypto Sports Betting, or for making a deposit. Alongside a share of the $100,000 pool, one random passenger takes the unique reward: a full week of VIP Club status, drawn regardless of Rank and announced on September 28.
Becoming a VIP means more than just gaining status and extra rewards like a VIP Welcome Bonus. Club members receive a personal VIP Manager, increased Cashback and Rakeback, withdrawal priority, the VIP Lounge, and other exclusive perks.
“VIP status is usually something a player climbs toward over months,” said Mike, CEO of BetFury. “For the Fury Cruise, we wanted to open that door in a single event, no matter a player’s Rank. That is the whole idea behind it: the best cabin on the ship is available to everyone aboard.”

President Donald Trump agreed to expanded conflict-of-interest rules and state-level enforcement powers to secure key Senate votes for the Clarity Act.
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) meets Thursday and Friday and is widely expected to raise its policy rate to 1.25%, the highest level since April 1995. Japan’s short-term bond yields have already gone vertical ahead of the decision.
Japanese government bonds, the yen, and Tokyo stocks are all repricing hard. Bitcoin (BTC) is not following, and that divergence faces its first real test this week.
Japan’s Short End Went Vertical Ahead of the Rate Hike
Japan’s six-month bill yield closed near 1.335% on Friday. Two years ago, the same maturity traded below zero.
The 2026 climb shows almost no pullback. That pattern suggests traders keep revising their view of where rates end up, faster than the central bank delivers.
A Reuters poll published Friday found 66 of 68 economists expect a hike this week. Almost 90% see 1.50% by the end of March. Reports last week also signaled a faster tightening pace, with another move possible in 2026.
This Is Fiscal, Not Inflation
The long end has moved just as far. The 10-year yield reached 3% this month for the first time since 1996, and the two-year sits near 1.85%.
Inflation does not explain it. July consumer prices rose 1.9% annually, with core at 1.8%, a seventh straight month below the 2% target.
Supply does. Ministries requested a record ¥143 trillion for the next fiscal year, and the Finance Ministry lifted its own assumed long-term bond rate to 3.8%. Investors are demanding more to hold Japanese government debt.
Bitcoin Is Not Answering
The yen carry trade is unwinding on measurable evidence. The yen has gained roughly 6% from its July low after a record ¥15.4 trillion intervention by Japan and the United States, the first joint action since 2011.
Speculators flipped to a net long yen position in the week to September 8, a swing of 103,000 contracts. Japanese holdings of US Treasuries fell $122.6 billion between February and June.
The Nikkei 225 has lost 8.4% in a month and trades 13% below its June record. Bitcoin traded near $77,721, up 0.8% in 24 hours, and already absorbed a similar yen shock last week.
In August 2024, a BOJ hike to just 0.25% sent the Nikkei down 12.4% in one session and Bitcoin from about $70,000 to $49,000. Friday’s move would set policy five times higher.
Friday is the test. A hawkish signal on the pace of further hikes, rather than the hike itself, is what would break the divergence.
