Part 5/10:
Ethereum’s Explosive Growth and Institutional Interest
Ethereum, once considered "dead" in some circles, has experienced a remarkable resurgence. Catalyst events such as the Genius Act and endorsements from influential figures like Tom Lee and Joe Luben have turned Ethereum into a prime target for institutional and retail investors. Its recent rally from around $1,600 to nearly $3,800 exemplifies this renewed confidence.
While this move is notable, the overall annual returns remain moderate—around 30-32%—which, although respectable, are not extraordinary in a traditional investment context. However, market analysts point out that such gains are often back-end loaded, suggesting that the majority of the upward move may still be ahead.
