Bitget Futures Market Updates: Ether Hits $3K for First Time in Nearly 2 Years Amid Rising ETH ETF Excitement

The
price of Ether, the native token to the Ethereum network, rose past $3,000 for the first time since April 2022 on Tuesday, continuing a recent hot streak.
Ether's price rose about 1.6% over the past 24 hours and has risen over 12% in the past week, outpacing other cryptocurrencies, according to data from CoinGecko. Cryptocurrencies at large have had a green 2024 so far, with major tokens' prices well above where they were in 2023. ETH surged nearly 30% since the beginning of the year, outperforming BTC's 22% advance.
ETH's rally could continue, with traders targeting $3,500 as the next resistance level as market participants anticipate that spot-based ETH exchange-traded funds (ETF) could be next in line for U.S. regulatory approval. A potential approval would boost ETH's appeal among more conservative, institutional investors, just as the new
bitcoin ETFs that debuted last month have attracted massive allocations.
