Bitget Futures Market Updates: Ether Hits $3K for First Time in Nearly 2 Years Amid Rising ETH ETF Excitement

Bitget Futures Market Updates: Ether Hits $3K for First Time in Nearly 2 Years Amid Rising ETH ETF Excitement

The price of Ether, the native token to the Ethereum network, rose past $3,000 for the first time since April 2022 on Tuesday, continuing a recent hot streak.
 
Ether's price rose about 1.6% over the past 24 hours and has risen over 12% in the past week, outpacing other cryptocurrencies, according to data from CoinGecko. Cryptocurrencies at large have had a green 2024 so far, with major tokens' prices well above where they were in 2023. ETH surged nearly 30% since the beginning of the year, outperforming BTC's 22% advance.
 
ETH's rally could continue, with traders targeting $3,500 as the next resistance level as market participants anticipate that spot-based ETH exchange-traded funds (ETF) could be next in line for U.S. regulatory approval. A potential approval would boost ETH's appeal among more conservative, institutional investors, just as the new bitcoin ETFs that debuted last month have attracted massive allocations.

Proof of Humanity and the "Dead Internet"

Is anyone still doing airdrops full-time? Maybe you should consider getting a job.

Airdrops can't provide stability, but work can.
