For now, however, the second-largest cryptocurrency is still 41% away from hitting its current high. Ethereum reached its current lifetime peak of $4,878 back in November 2021. 

Meanwhile, Bitcoin recently hit yet another record high, surging above the $76,000 level. 

Bitcoin has benefited from the success of spot ETFs. Ether ETFs ended up being a failure, but there are some promising signs. For instance, as reported by U.Today, Michigan's state pension fund recently invested roughly $11 million in Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE).
