Ethereum (ETH) surged past $2,511.11 on May 21, 2025, with a daily increase of 0.4% and a weekly gain of 3.4%. While this represents a notable rise, it lagged behind Bitcoin’s historic milestone, which surpassed $110,000. Ethereum’s recent momentum was driven by growing DeFi interest and institutional investment in blockchain technology. However, Bitcoin showed stronger daily gains of 7.5% during the same period, highlighting its continued dominance within the market. Despite this, the ETH/BTC pair demonstrated a slight recovery at 1.7%, indicating potential strength for Ethereum. Market analysts are closely watching both assets’ performance to gauge investor confidence and predict future trends.
