These three catalysts are driving Ethereum price higher
The rise in crypto market capitalization, US PPI data and Twitter’s partnership with eToro for implementing crypto trading for users are the key catalysts that fueled Ethereum’s run up to the $2,000 level.
Crypto market capitalization is inching closer to $1.3 trillion after Bitcoin’s massive rally to the psychological barrier at $30,000. The rising market cap of digital assets is a sign of rising confidence among crypto traders for cryptocurrencies like Ethereum.
Interestingly, the release of US Consumer Price Index for March 2023 and PPI print on Thursday, shows that traders expect disinflation. This is a bullish sign for risk assets like Ethereum.
