The Ethereum price appears to be breaking out amidst the renewed bullish sentiment across the crypto board, just as Bitcoin faces rejection near $60,000.

In the last 24 hours, Ether, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, has risen nearly 7% to a new high of $4,141.99. It has soared by more than 480% this year, becoming one of the best-performing crypto currencies.

Given that ETH was below $800 at the start of 2021, this is undeniably a notable performance for the coin, and the asset has only increased its gains in the days since.

However, the Ethereum network has become congested as a result of the surge in activity. Ethereum is currently undergoing a major upgrade that will, in principle, speed up transaction times and reduce the amount of power needed to process them.

A pair of big network infrastructure improvements, EIP-1559 and ETH 2.0, are the most bullish catalysts on the horizon. EIP-1559, which will be included in the “London” hard fork, will reform the ETH fee structure and is expected to dramatically reduce gas prices while also making ETH a potentially deflationary commodity.

Ethereum also recorded inflows of $30.2 million last week of April and an all-time peak of $13.9 billion in 2021, data showed. Total inflows so far this year were $5.45 billion.
