Ethereum s price grows above $1,700
Ethereum s price is on the rise this morning, with the cryptocurrency up almost 3 per cent to $1,725. Bitcoin, however, is slightly lower at around $50,380.
David Derhy, analyst at multi-asset investment platform eToro, comments on Ethereum s rise:
Ethereum prices rocketed back above $1,700 over the weekend, hitting a multi-week high after a major upgrade to the network was announced, and this move is far from over.
The Ethereum Improvement Proposal 1559 will be implemented as part of the planned London hard fork coming this July for the network, and will see a major shift in the way users transact.
