Ethereum (ETH) has experienced a rapid price surge, exceeding many traders' expectations. The large-cap altcoin, boasting a fully diluted valuation of approximately $542 billion, climbed over 4.4 percent in the last 24 hours, reaching a multi-year high of around $4,500 – a level not seen since December 2021.

以太坊（ETH）经历了迅速的价格上涨，超过了许多交易者的期望。大型替代币的估值已完全稀释，在过去的24小时内攀升了4.4％，达到了4,500美元左右，这是自2021年12月以来未见的水平。

This significant bullish breakout on Tuesday triggered the liquidation of over $157 million, with short traders bearing the brunt at $102 million. Consequently, the ongoing short squeeze has amplified the likelihood of Ether reaching its all-time high (ATH) before the end of August.

周二的这一重大看涨突破引发了清算超过1.57亿美元的清算，短交易者首当其冲地为1.02亿美元。因此，持续的短暂挤压扩大了以太在8月底之前达到其历史最高（ATH）的可能性。

Recent weeks have witnessed substantial cash inflows into the Ethereum network. U.S. spot Ether ETFs, for example, attracted a remarkable $1.02 billion in net cash inflow on Monday, spearheaded by BlackRock’s ETHA and Fidelity’s FBTC.

最近几周目睹了以太坊网络的大量现金流入。例如，美国现货ETHETF在周一吸引了10.2亿美元的净现金流入，并由BlackRock的Etha和Fidelity的FBTC领导。

Furthermore, companies establishing Ethereum treasuries have significantly increased their activity. BitMine, for instance, expanded its at-the-market equity program by $20 billion, bringing it to approximately $24 billion, specifically to acquire more Ether.

此外，建立以太坊国库的公司大大增加了活动。例如，Bitmine将其在市场股票计划扩大了200亿美元，将其提高到约240亿美元，特别是为了获得更多的以太货币。

SharpLink Gaming purchased 5,226 Ether on Tuesday, increasing its total holdings to 604,026 ETH, valued at over $2.6 billion. Additionally, a newly created wallet withdrew 23,365 ETH from Kraken, equivalent to roughly $104 million.

Sharplink Gaming周二购买了5,226 Ether，其总持股量增加到604,026 ETH，价值超过26亿美元。此外，一个新创建的钱包从Kraken撤回了23,365 ETH，相当于大约1.04亿美元。

Is This the Beginning of Altseason, or Simply an ETH Season?

这是Altseason的开始，还是仅仅是ETH赛季？

With Ether's price now less than 10 percent away from its all-time high, a renewed wave of speculative FOMO (fear of missing out) traders has heightened the possibility of an altseason. While Bitcoin price has remained below a key resistance level around $120k, major altcoins like Chainlink (LINK), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Solana (SOL) have displayed a midterm bullish outlook.

现在，Ether的价格距离其历史最高水平不到10％，因此，一波投机性的FOMO（担心错过）贸易商的浪潮加剧了Altseason的可能性。尽管比特币价格一直保持在12万美元左右的关键阻力水平以下，但诸如Chainlink（Link），Dogecoin（Doge）和Solana（Sol）（Sol）（Sol）（Sol）（Sol）等主要山寨币表现出中期看涨前景。

However, crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen suggests that the current bullish trend is primarily an Ether season, rather than a broader altseason. Nevertheless, the anticipated Federal Reserve rate cut in September could potentially spark a more widespread crypto bull rally.

但是，加密分析师本杰明·考恩（Benjamin Cowen）认为，目前的看涨趋势主要是一个以太季节，而不是更广泛的季节。尽管如此，预期的9月的美联储降低可能会引发更广泛的加密公牛集会。
