According to data from Kaiko Research, the price of Ethereum (ETH) recently reached an annual high of $4,000. Despite briefly outperforming Bitcoin (BTC) after the U.S. elections, ETH has yet to test its historical high of about $5,000 from 2021. However, last weekend, the price of ETH stabilized around $4,000, indicating that it may be poised to test new price ranges. The rise in ETH prices coincides with a resurgence of market interest in ETH ETFs, which set a record for inflows last week. Institutional investors have shown significant interest in ETH and are optimistic about potential returns in 2025. Furthermore, changes in the leadership of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may further drive market demand, with ETH likely to be a key beneficiary of this shift.
