The bull run in the crypto market continues with full force as ETH has surged above $2,000 for the first time in its history. The asset is up by nearly 200% since the start of the year when it dabbled with the $700 price mark.
- Ethereum has been among the best performing crypto assets since the mid-March liquidity crisis in 2020, when it dripped below $100. The cryptocurrency has seen nothing but gains since then, which resulted in numerous broken records in the following eleven months.
- ETH entered the new year at about $720. It took less than a month to double its value and break its 2018 ATH record of $1,430.Â
- While those gains seemed impressive on their own, ETH wasnât done yet. The asset only enhanced its price performance and headed north in uncharted territory.
- Now, about a month after surpassing its previous record, ETH has successfully conquered another milestone â $2,000.Â

- Naturally, the price surge has also impacted Ethereumâs market capitalization, which has spiked to about $230 billion. According to AssetDash data, this places ETH within the top 40 assets by market cap.
- Although reaching $2,000 is a significant milestone in ETHâs way up, several somewhat optimistic predictions envision even further gains, with some projecting a 10x from here to $20,000.Â
