Crypto ETFs Gain Favor Among Mainstream Investors
During the Solana Accelerate event, Cathie Wood highlighted the role of cryptocurrency ETFs.

According to CoinMarketCap, Ethereum (ETH) is currently priced at $2,518.02 with a market capitalization of $303.99 billion. The research noted a 58.08% drop in trading volume over 24 hours, with a 1.16% price dip, but a 42.95% increase over 30 days.
