Kaiko Research data shows that the price of Ethereum (ETH) recently hit a yearly high of $4,000. Despite briefly outperforming Bitcoin (BTC) following the U.S. election, ETH has yet to test 2021’s all-time highs around $5,000. However, ETH prices stabilized around $4,000 over the weekend, suggesting that it may be on track to test a new price range. The rise in ETH prices coincides with a resurgence in interest in ETH ETFs, which saw record inflows last week. Institutional investors have shown significant interest in ETH and are anticipating potential gains in 2025. In addition, a change in leadership at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may further drive market demand, and ETH may be an important beneficiary of this change.
