- ETH price has grown by over five percent in the last 24 hours
- It is currently trading at $4,025
- The asset’s last known ATH is close to $4,900 and was created in November 2021
Ether, for the first time this year so far, is reaching for the price point of $4,000. While the asset is yet to stabilize, its movement has triggered a wave of optimism among investors.
At the time of writing, CoinMarketCap showed ETH trading at $4,025 — having logged a price hike of over 1.50 percent in the last 24 hours. It is, however, noteworthy that the asset has been receding to under $3,090 after hitting the $4,000 mark amid prevailing volatility.
“The green light for crypto in US 401(k) plans is a game changing development, potentially unlocking a wave of institutional-grade capital from retirement funds. Ethereum is well positioned to ride this bullishness, though it still needs a decisive breakout to cement the next leg higher,” Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder and CEO, of the Pi42 crypto exchange told CoinHeadlines.
