Ethereum rally boosts outlook for crypto firms

  • Ethereum surged over 5% on Thursday to $3,432, leading gains in the cryptocurrency market as institutional interest in the blockchain platform intensified, reinforcing its status as a yield-generating digital asset. The world's second-largest cryptocurrency has jumped 36% in the past month to its highest level since January, outpacing Bitcoin, which traded flat at just above $118,000 after hitting a record $122,900 earlier in the week.
