Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum outperforms #1 Bitcoin with a 2.76% weekly gain to $2,065.53, driven by renewed DeFi staking activity, though its price remains 35% below 2025 highs, indicating that NFT and dApp volumes have not returned to bullish levels. The asset’s 24-hour trading volume surged to $18.7 billion, 20% higher than Bitcoin’s, signaling stronger near-term momentum. Yet, Ethereum’s relative strength index sits at 48, neutral but higher than Bitcoin’s 44, suggesting it may lead any potential recovery if market sentiment improves.
