Ether Outperforms Large-Cap Crypto Market with 11% Weekly Gain
Ether has outperformed the rest of the large-cap crypto market this week, rising about 11% over seven days as most other major tokens were flat or negative. This surge in Ether's price is likely due to the inflows into U.S. spot Ether ETFs, with the market value of Ether reaching $231 billion. The weekly change in Ether's price is a notable 11%, outpacing Bitcoin's 4.2% weekly change.
