Ethereum (ETH) Records a New All-time High Price in January 2021
Ethereum seems to be experiencing the effects of positive sentiment, previously pulled by Bitcoin gains as the top crypto had also set up a new ATH at nearly 42,000$. The positive sentiment affecting the price of ETH might also be driven by the Beacon upgrade that took place in December as the first installment of the biggest Ethereum upgrade dubbed Ethereum 2.0. The next and the following update is sharding and should be launched to the network somewhere in 2021 when another similar bull run is predicted, driven by sentiment and a great investment opportunity as Ethereum will become faster with scaling when it comes to on-chain operations, which includes faster processing time for transactions. By far, Ethereum is showing major gains on the yearly chart, with recorded returns at 761%, out of which 123% of rises were recorded in the last 30 days.
