Ethereum Crossed US$2.4K After ETF Application Amendement

Ethereum's native token Ether jumped above $2,400 Wednesday afternoon to a two-week high as asset managers Ark Invest and 21Shares amended their joint spot ETH ETF filing. While Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency, many in the industry argue that Ether has a distinct set of use cases that would make the cryptocurrency particularly useful to financial advisors.

A key roadblock to approving the vehicles is whether the agency considers ethereum to be a security, commodity, or something else entirely— a designation the SEC has so far avoided making officially. Nevertheless, ETH's price advanced nearly 2% within an hour from when the news appeared, breaking above $2,400 for the first time since January 22. The second-largest crypto by market cap was up 2.4% over the past 24 hours and outperformed the broader cryptocurrency market.
