Ethereum, the second-most popular cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, outperformed its rivals over the weekend, leading a broader rally in digital assets as demand from institutional investors and corporate treasury buyers increased.
THE DAY STARTED WITH A SHOCK
Ethereum rose to $4,340 this morning, a premium of about 2 percent.
It saw its highest level since December 2021.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, came very close to a record high, surpassing $121,000.
Ethereum investment is growing
The rise came amid growing interest in Ethereum among large investors.
More than $6.7 billion has been invested in Ethereum across nine U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds this year.
Listed digital asset treasury companies that are moving towards accumulating cryptocurrencies are also giving Ethereum a boost.
According to data compiled by strategethreserve.xyz, nearly $13 billion worth of Ether has been accumulated so far.
TRUMP’S SON APPLAUSES
Eric Trump, the son of US President Donald Trump and a man with financial interests in many digital asset companies, applauded Ethereum’s rise in a post on X.
Bloomberg News reported on Friday that major investors are giving their opinion on the plan of World Liberty Financial, the venture backed by the Trump family, to create a public company that will hold WLFI tokens.
Ethereum reached its historic high of $4,666 on December 13, 2021.
