Ethereum Nears 2021 Record

Ethereum rose to $4,780, just $100 short of its all-time high from November 2021. The surge is driven by growing ETF inflows, increased institutional interest, and recent network upgrades such as Pectra. Analysts point to a strong supply-demand imbalance as a key factor behind the rally.
