Ether (ETH) is nearing the $4,000 mark. This rise comes amid speculation that a recent ETF approval might spark a significant price rally. It is now only around 25% away from crossing its all-time-high.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was trading at around $3,922. Its trading volume has increased by 79.91%, reaching $17.95 billion. Its market capitalization is now approximately $470.41 billion.

Arthur Cheong, the founder of DeFiance Capital, suggested in a May 26 post on X that ETH might even hit $4,500 before the actual launch of spot ETFs.
Also, crypto analyst Rekt Capital says Ethereum (ETH) must end the week above $3,956 to possibly reach over $4,000.
Historically, Bitcoin experienced a similar trajectory, soaring over 70% to new highs within two months following its ETF approvals. If Ether follows this pattern, it could reach new peaks around $6,000 by the end of July, as it has now got approval for the ETF.
Ethereum’s Layer-2 networks are also experiencing robust financial activity, with the total value locked approaching a record high of $47 billion. With a market cap of $469 billion, both crypto investors and major Ethereum stakeholders are optimistic about the potential surge in institutional investments following recent ETF approvals.
