This week’s cryptocurrency rally is being led by Ethereum, according to PANews. The second-largest digital token saw a remarkable surge of nearly 33%, reaching $2,490 on Friday after easing global trade tensions and optimism surrounding network upgrades fueled its growth. This marks the largest weekly gain since 2021, a period marked by speculative trading and low interest rates that spurred a cryptocurrency boom during the pandemic. While Bitcoin, the largest digital currency, also saw positive growth (1.7%), it’s Ethereum’s impressive performance that is capturing attention. BRN’s Chief Research Analyst, Valentin Fournier, believes this momentum could continue as new breakthroughs and policy support attract further buyers to the market.
