The price of EthereumEthereum (ETH) set a new all-time high earlier this week of $2,665—and it hasn’t let up since. Now, ETH is trading for just below $2,800, enough to send its market capitalization above $320 billion and surpass that of payments giant PayPal.
Ethereum is currently in “price discovery mode”—meaning, since its price has never been higher, traders are still trying to sort out what its current value should be. Some see it aiming higher.
Bitcoin Dominance is below 50% and dropping hard.
Bitcoin Dominance dropping is a result of strong existing altcoin action, not a leading indicator.
Look at ETH.
That said, it does not look like the trend is likely to end soon.
— The Wolf Of All Streets (@scottmelker) April 29, 2021
Bullish investors point to two primary reasons for ETH’s upward trajectory: increased institutional interest, and upcoming upgrades to the Ethereum network which could have a positive impact on the price of ETH.
Last week, three Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) hit the Toronto Stock Exchange. Crypto ETFs allow investors to buy shares in a fund and bet on the price of an asset without actually purchasing the underlying crypto. They’re considered an easier path toward crypto investing than the comparatively onerous process of buying and selling on a cryptocurrency exchange.
Currently, no crypto ETFs exist in the US, since the SEC has yet to approve one. But in Canada, they are now eight such funds: four Bitcoin ETFs, and four Ethereum ETFs. And they’ve proven popular: the ETH ETFs that launched on April 20 got off to a $138 million start. Investors are optimistic that with a new chairman in Gary Gensler taking the helm at the SEC soon that the Commission may finally opt to allow such funds to trade in the US.
That optimism extends to developments on the Ethereum network itself. As Ethereum moves forward with its planned ETH2.0 rollout, a scheduled upgrade set for July 14 called "EIP-1559" will effectively cause a reduction to the overall supply of ETH. And if the demand for ETH among investors continues to rise while its supply decreases, it’s possible that this will cause the price of Ethereum to rise further. That demand, however, could be tempered by wild swings in the crypto market, or forthcoming regulations aimed at cryptocurrencies, which may deter some investors who prefer to stick with less volatile alternatives.
PayPal, for its part, has become increasingly involved in the crypto space within the last year. Trading for $264 at a $310 billion market cap, the company opened its doors to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a select few other cryptocurrencies in November 2020.
Just today, Coinbase—which itself just went public on April 14—added a new feature to its app which allows its users to buy crypto using a PayPal account.

Bitcoin sank on Thursday and Friday, continuing its decline for much of the past week as investors pivoted away from the world's most valuable cryptocurrency in favor of the most traditional safe haven asset: gold. This recent trend appeared to restore the paths that the two assets have traveled for most of 2025, with gold's gains outpacing those of BTC. "There's no denying it, gold had a great year. Especially during the tariffs—even if you're a hardcore Bitcoiner, you have to respect what gol...
Méliuz sent its shares tumbling over 8% Friday after the Brazilian fintech announced a primary share offering aimed at raising up to 450 million reais ($78.6 million) to buy more Bitcoin. The cashback and coupon company, which trades on Brazil's B3 exchange under the ticker CASH3, initially plans to offer 17 million common shares to raise 150 million reais ($26.2 million). The company even left room to expand the offering by up to 200%, potentially tripling the amount if demand materializes. The...
