EthereumEthereum is having itself a hot summer.
ETH started the day as the best-performing crypto in the top 10 by market cap. Yesterday, it jumped by 10%. Today, we can add another 10% on top of that.
The cryptocurrencycryptocurrency is currently trading at a two-year high of $442 per coin. The last time ETH traded above this price was late July 2018.
Ether (ETH), Ethereum's native crypto has been on an upward trend for almost 25 days, which further elevated this week. After initially failing in an attempt to break $400, the token fell to $367 only to then break $400 again, confirming the current bullish trend and as the digital asset heads for the $450 price mark.
There is currently no short-term resistance toward this march. The last time ETH registered similar prices was during the Crypto Winter crash of 2018 when the token bottomed out below $100, and the $300 mark became the unbeatable resistance from that moment on. Until earlier this year, that is.
The token is very much on the radar of the trading community and cryptocurrency enthusiasts as of late. The Ethereum blockchain is the infrastructure upon which much of the Web 3.0 activity runs, and the last few months of developments on Ethereum have been hotter than ever.
First, the DeFi industry has exploded in 2020, fulfilling the predictions made by analysts at CoinGecko and other experts who had their eyes on DeFi taking off this year, despite the March market crash.
Indulge us in this Friday Afternoon Moment of Conjecture. The “Baron of Bitcoin,” Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports, claimed on Twitter yesterday that he had bought at least $1 million worth of Bitcoin. “I’m 7 figures deep now in this stuff,” he tweeted. This was after posting a video in which Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss personally visited Portnoy at his summer place in Nantucket and schooled “El Presidente” on some of the vagaries of Bitcoin. Portnoy, who had been a skeptic, seemed to become a...
The surge in popularity of decentralized exchanges, many of which run on Ethereum, is another factor. This month alone, trading volume on DEXs has exceeded the numbers reported for all of 2019.
In combination, a strong argument could be made that these factors are driving up the fundamental value of Ethereum. And with the long-awaiting Ethereum 2.0 upgrade drawing nearer, which is built to support greater trading volume more efficiently, ETH investors have plenty to be excited about.

Spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds generated $125 million in inflows on Tuesday, representing their best daily performance since early February, CoinGlass data showed. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) led the eight funds with $80 million in net inflows. The surge coincides with Ethereum’s rise above $2,800 for the first time in nearly four months. The last time overall inflows eclipsed that mark was on Feb. 2, when investors stuffed $276 million into BlackRock’s ETHA and Ethereum’...
Bitcoin gained half a percentage point after the May Consumer Price Index showed that prices rose 2.4% in May, showing that U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war has had a limited impact on prices. The 2.4% increase is lower than all 73 forecasters predicted in the latest Bloomberg survey. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was recently hovering just below $109,000, but has now risen closer to $110,000. BTC has gained 4.4% in the past seven days, amid renewed hopes for a settl...
Acquisition vehicles have successfully driven demand for Bitcoin in recent years, but their aggressive accumulation strategies may be undermining the asset's long-term institutional appeal. That's according to the latest analysis from Swiss digital asset bank Sygnum, published on Tuesday. While these vehicles have supported market demand, Sygnum warned that Strategy’s goal of owning 5% of Bitcoin’s supply risks undermining its status as a safe haven and could render it unsuitable as a reserve as...
