Ether Blasts Past $4K—First Time Since December as Crypto Winter Thaws

Ethereum's native token just punched through a psychological barrier—and traders are scrambling to front-run the next rally.

The $4K Breakthrough: More Than Just a Number

Markets don’t care about round numbers—until they do. Ether’s surge past $4,000 signals renewed institutional interest, with whispers of ETF approvals lurking in the background. The last time prices hit this level? A pre-FTX-collapse December, when crypto still had its training wheels on.

Liquidity Tsunami or Smart Money Trap?

DeFi volumes are spiking, but the real action’s in derivatives—open interest for ETH options just hit an all-time high. Classic ‘buy the rumor’ behavior… or are hedge funds finally realizing stablecoins won’t pay their yacht fees?

One thing’s certain: Wall Street’s late as usual. While traditional finance debates ‘digital gold,’ Ethereum’s executing its roadmap—scaling solutions live, staking yields compounding, and that ‘ultrasound money’ narrative getting harder to ignore.

Prediction: Bank analysts will upgrade their ETH price targets… right after the next 20% rally.
