Summary

Ethereum reached a new peak of $4,948, surpassing its November 2021 all-time high. This surge follows Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s comments on potential rate cuts and a wave of institutional demand, including record inflows into Ethereum ETFs. The cryptocurrency has also benefited from corporate accumulation, including large holdings by BitMine Immersion and SharpLink Gaming. Regulatory clarity around staking services and stablecoins has further bolstered Ethereum’s prospects, with many predicting it will exceed $5,000 by the end of 2025.
