Jakarta, Pintu News – Ethereum (ETH) has once again proven itself as the backbone of the altcoin market.
While the price of ETH is near record highs, activity on the network has only gotten heavier, with usage levels reaching all-time peaks and transaction fees remaining low.
In contrast to many other tokens that quickly lose steam when the rally overheats, Ethereum is showing a steadier pace, opening up opportunities for further gains, while other altcoins prepare to challenge Bitcoin’s (BTC) dominance.
Then, how is Ethereum’s current price movement?

On August 25, 2025, Ethereum was trading at approximately $4,764 (around IDR 77,518,063), marking a modest 0.34% gain over the past 24 hours. Within the same period, ETH hit a low of IDR 76,288,051 and climbed as high as IDR 80,171,776.
At the time of writing, Ethereum’s market capitalization stands at roughly IDR 9,339 trillion, while daily trading volume has surged 71% in the past 24 hours to reach IDR 713.61 trillion.

Reporting from AMB Crypto (5/24), Price Drawdown Heatmap data from CryptoQuant shows that Ethereum ranks among the most resilient assets alongside Binance Coin (BNB), Bitcoin (BTC), and Tron (TRX).
While thousands of other altcoins are still stuck in the red, ETH was able to bounce back from the market pressure and is now trading near record highs again.
Unlike many other cryptocurrencies, Ethereum’s network strength and liquidity have kept it from a prolonged downturn. Because of this, ETH is in a stronger position than most altcoins to absorb waves of new capital as the market moves.
In line with its resilience in the market, Ethereum network activity also broke records. The number of daily transactions broke through 2.4 million, while active addresses remained above 1.2 million – both reaching historic highs.
Despite the sharp surge in demand, gas costs remain near historic lows, at around $80 million per day, well below the peak of over $300 million in previous cycles.

Strength on the network side is also reflected in the dynamics of Ethereum holders. Data shows that long-term holders (LTH) with 81 million ETH have started selling, while short-term holders (STH) with 39.4 million ETH are actively accumulating instead of releasing assets.
Historically, when STHs refrain from taking profits, Ethereum often enters a strong rally phase. The current conditions signal confidence from new buyers, which is often the trigger for price spikes.

If this trend continues, Ethereum – alongside the broader altcoin market – could potentially absorb some of Bitcoin’s dominance in the next three months, putting ETH at the center of the next cycle.
