Ethereum Breaks $3,000 Barrier as Coinbase & BlackRock Place Big Bets

Published by

Ethereum (ETH), the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, is currently on a remarkable upswing, catching the eye of investors worldwide. This surge is fueled by a mix of positive market sentiment, encouraging CPI Inflation data, and ongoing developments in the cryptocurrency world.

As of now, ETH is valued at $3,004.66, marking a significant 3.63% increase in the past day alone. This surge has propelled its market cap to an impressive $357 billion.

Key Developments For Ethereum

Behind Ethereum’s surge are several key developments. Notably, Coinbase, a major fintech player, has chosen Ethereum as its go-to network for on-chain products and services. This move signals strong confidence in Ethereum’s abilities and is likely to attract more users to Ethereum, boosting demand for Ether (ETH) tokens and driving prices higher.

Moreover, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is on the verge of approving an Ethereum spot ETF. This move has sparked institutional interest, potentially leading to significant investment flows into Ethereum.

Layer-2 Expansion

Additionally, Ethereum’s layer-2 networks are expanding rapidly, bringing down transaction costs and improving scalability. This makes Ethereum more attractive for various applications, from decentralized finance (DeFi) to non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

ETH Technicals Remain Strong

From a technical standpoint, Ethereum has shown resilience amidst market volatility. Recent bullish momentum pushed the price above key resistance levels at $2,950 and $3,000, reaching a new weekly high at $3,039.

What’s Next for Ethereum?

Looking ahead, breaking above the $3,050 resistance could lead to further price gains, targeting levels around $3,220. On the flip side, failing to breach this barrier might trigger a downward correction, with support levels around $2,930 and $2,900.
