The Ethereum price has had one of the most interesting price actions so far in 2025, dropping to as low as $1,500 early on in the year. The “king of altcoins” has since gone on to forge a new all-time high at $4,946, while outperforming most large-cap crypto assets along the way.

As a result of the market-wide downturn, the Ethereum price has caused pain among investors, falling by double digits to around $3,750 on Friday, October 10. However, this latest spike in volatility has led to the question — does ETH still have some fuel left in the tank, or is the altcoin done in this cycle?

ETH Exchange Withdrawal Count In Downtrend: Alphractal

In a recent post on X, market analytics firm Alphractal shared an interesting on-chain insight into the current outlook for the Ethereum price. According to the blockchain platform, the price of ETH doesn’t appear to have reached its peak in the current cycle.

This price evaluation is based on the Exchange Withdrawal Count metric, which measures the number of crypto withdrawals made from an exchange over a certain period. This indicator offers insight into the volume of a cryptocurrency (Ethereum, in this case) leaving a centralized exchange.

Alphractal revealed that the spikes in the Exchange Withdrawal Count have often coincided with Ethereum price tops. This means that investors tend to withdraw their assets from exchanges as the price of ETH surges to new highs in the previous bull runs. 

However, Alphractal highlighted a deviation from this historical pattern following Ethereum’s latest run to a new all-time high. According to the on-chain firm, the Exchange Withdrawal Count has been on a steady decline—rather than a rise—as the Ethereum price moves towards a fresh high.

Ultimately, Alphractal suggested that this deviation from the usual trend could be a signal that the Ethereum price has not yet hit its peak in this cycle. Nevertheless, the on-chain firm noted that the second-largest cryptocurrency could also be about to witness a historical exception, especially when you consider the recent price downturn.

Binance has announced its plans to compensate some users who lost funds during the market-wide crash on Friday, October 10. The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume acknowledged a price depeg incident, which led to forced liquidations for some traders.

Affected Users To Receive Compensation In 3 Days: Binance

In an October 11 post on the X platform, Binance co-founder and chief customer support officer Yi He confirmed that some users encountered issues with their transactions due to significant market fluctuations. While apologizing to customers, the exchange executive asked the affected customers to reach out to the customer service to lodge their complaints.

After Friday’s market bloodbath, some users took to the X platform to complain about the forced closure of their trade positions on the Binance exchange. According to the cryptocurrency exchange’s explanation, these issues were caused by a price depeg involving Ethena’s USDe, BNSOL, and WBETH, as the market fluctuated and users flooded the trading platform.

Binance’s He noted that account activity of each user will be reviewed individually before the compensation will be released accordingly. However, it was also stated that losses due to market fluctuations and unrealized profits are not eligible for compensation.

He wrote on X:

The reason Binance is Binance is that we never shy away from problems. When we fall short, we take responsibility—there are no excuses or justifications. We are committed to serving every user to the best of our ability, and we will manage what we are responsible for.

Binance announced on its website that the affected users will receive their compensation within 72 hours. This reimbursement will reportedly cover the difference between the liquidation price and market price at midnight on October 11.

Trump Slaps China With 100% Tariff, Crypto Market Crashes

As already mentioned, the Binance issue came up due to severe fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market. This increased volatility came after United States President Donald Trump declared plans to impose 100% tariffs on all Chinese goods by November 1.

As a result of this decision, Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, witnessed a swift crash to around $101,500. Meanwhile, the crypto market recorded nearly $20 billion in long liquidations—the largest single-day liquidation event in history—following the declaration.

As of this writing, the price of Bitcoin is hovering around the $111,000 mark, reflecting an almost 10% decline in the past seven days.
