Ether, the native currency of the Ethereum blockchain, has copied one or two tricks out of bitcoin’s playbook. The digital asset is trading above $900 for the first time since February 2018 when it was retreating from its all-time high (ATH) it reached the month before. The run to $900+ came hours after ETH broke past $800 which it last reached in March the same year.

Ether is currently trading at $916, 18% more than it did 24 hours ago. Ether currently has a market cap of $102 billion.

The digital asset is likely getting a boost from bitcoin which is having a stellar run that has seen the asset break the $35,000 level for the first time.
Bitcoin got its lift from institutions buying the digital asset en-masse as a hedge against collapsing fiat currencies.
Ethereum hash rate reaches new ATH
It is not Ether’s correlation to bitcoin that should claim all the credit. Bitcoin’s rally has lifted some altcoins along the way, but Ether’s bullish momentum is the culmination of a number of factors.
According to Etherscan, a block explorer and analytics platform for the Ethereum blockchain, the protocol’s hashrate reached a new peak of 306,346 GH/s on Jan. 2.

Ki Young Ju, the CEO of CryptoQuant who recently predicted that Ether would reach $903, thinks that “institutional investors are behind” this rally.
$ETH is now $918. Dumb calculation worked.
Speculative guess but I think institutional investors are behind this $ETH rally. https://t.co/y0j06uPETK

Ether is also attractive to institutional capital. The launch of the CME Ether futures in February will likely boost the asset’s price in the long run.
Unlike bitcoin which breached its previous peak reached in December 2017, Ether has failed to gather enough momentum to eclipse the $1,400+ high in reached in January 2018.

With over 2.4M tokens and widespread misinformation in crypto, we cut
through the noise and consistently find winning assets.
























Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
