EthereumEthereum is on fire.
After breaking through the $240 resistance level that kept it trading sideways since June, the most important altcoinaltcoin in crypto changed the course of an otherwise “boring” few months of trading.
ETH jumped following a sudden rise in the price of BitcoinBitcoin on Wednesday night. And it hasn’t stopped since. When Bitcoin broke above $9,300, the rest of the crypto market followed. Total market capitalization for all of crypto grew by roughly $7 billion in 24 hours.
Now, the yearly record band is the new barrier to overcome. ETH last struck $285 per token in mid February. If Ethereum manages to stay above $285 after the correction, we could soon see ETH in the $300-315 range again.
But there’s more to Ethereum’s growth as of late than what traders see in the charts. Its fundamentals are in good shape, considering the exponential growth of DeFiDeFi protocols designed for borrowing, lending and peer-to-peer trading. In crypto, 2020 has very much been the “year of DeFi.”
Likewise, stablecoinsstablecoins have also increased in popularity and volume. Tether, or USDT, overtook XRP earlier this year to enter into the top three of cryptocurrencies by market cap. Indeed, Ethereum now moves more value on a daily basis than Bitcoin precisely because it’s become the blockchain of choice for the exchange of stablecoins.
Ethereum is getting dangerously close to hitting its technical limits, as users of the blockchain network climb a mountain that has been scaled just once before. Decentralized finance and its associated tokens are on fire, and the number of transactions on the Ethereum network is drawing close to marking a new all-time high. The transactions record was set early on in 2018 at the height of the ICOcraze, before falling to an average of less than half the peak for the next two years, before steady...
But not everything is rosy in the world of Ethereum. The growing popularity and use of DeFi protocols and associated tokens is both a blessing and a curse. The Ethereum network is currently dangerously close to reaching its technical limits, as DeFi and Tether are essentially responsible for as many transactions as the network can handle at the moment.
Will it collapse under the weight of its own success, or will Ethereum 2.0 arrive in time?
Place your bets.

Bitcoin ETFs have seen their best day of trading since the start of May, with smaller funds enjoying healthy inflows.

Meanwhile, the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB)—in fourth place after the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust—clocked inflows of $155 million, with the two funds between them accounting for more than half of the funds invested...
A divisive proposal to rebrand Bitcoin’s base unit is gaining momentum on social media after Twitter (now X) founder and longtime Bitcoin bull Jack Dorsey shared support on Sunday, racking up more than 1 million views collectively on posts promoting BIP 177. Authored by software developer John Carvalho, the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal, entitled “Redefine Bitcoin's Base Unit,” seeks to do just that—by shifting the way the coin’s quantities are displayed, removing the decimal point and leading z...
