The strong rally almost doubles the market value that the cryptocurrency started with in 2021.
The cryptocurrency ether has set a new record this Tuesday surpassing the value of $ 1,400 per unit . Previously, the high reached by the cryptocurrency was 1,396, a figure close to the one it returned this morning, according to CoinMarketCap.
The strong rally almost doubles the value of the price of ether at the beginning of 2021, when it reached 730 dollars, and since then it has continued to rise, increasing almost 90% of its price . By way of comparison, the revaluation of bitcoin is around 30% so far this year.
However, bitcoin continues to lead the cryptocurrency market with an approximate price of between $ 35,000 and $ 37,000 per unit in the last 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the trading volumes of ether, the second most traded cryptoasset, have grown rapidly. According to the specialized portal Decrypt, in the last day more than 37,000 million dollars were traded in this digital currency as operations progressed.
In addition, the price increase has raised the market capitalization of ether to more than 155,000 million dollars , which represents about 23% of the size of the market capitalization of bitcoin.
Ether was first released in 2015 by Russian-born programmer Vitalik Buterin. In January 2020, its price stood at $ 160 and since then it has experienced a vertiginous increase.
