Since the start of the current bull cycle, bitcoin has been in the spotlight. If it is not smashing new records, then it is a new major company, public or private, converting its balance sheet into the king of cryptocurrencies, at least by market cap.
Ethereum’s growth
Today, Ethereum finally hits a major milestone as it tastes the $2K level for the first time.Without a doubt, Ethereum is one of the most used blockchains in the crypto industry. Through its smart contract capability, the blockchain was one of the major reasons for the success of the 2017 initial coin offering mania.
Until the bubble burst and ICOs were no longer a thing.
However, as the decentralized finance (DeFi) movement grew, it became clear that Ethereum would be the blockchain of choice.
2020 was a banner year for Ethereum as the network hosted 96% of all DeFi transactions.
To put things into perspective, the DeFi sector was worth just over $1 billion a year ago, but now, it is valued at nearly $42 billion.
The growing DeFi sector could have been Ethereum’s undoing as gas fees increased exponentially. Competitors failed to capitalize on this to grab a bigger chunk of the market.
Ethereum survived a big scare. And it continues to march on as one of the most important blockchain networks, which is now reflected in its price hitting $2,000 for the first time ever.
The launch of Etherum 2.0
The much anticipated Ethereum 2.0, the biggest upgrade in the history of the blockchain protocol, went live on Dec. 1, 2020.Ethereum 2.0, or Serenity, in development since 2015, was designed to transform the protocol from a proof-of-work consensus algorithm to the next-generation proof-of-stake.
The successful launch of the Beacon Chain meant that Ethereum had successfully completed its first stage as it transitions to a more secure, scalable, and sustainable blockchain.
And with this new transition that is still in the works, the Ethereum network will be able to compete with the likes of Visa and PayPal in terms of processing speed.
Ethereum’s value proposition
The value of Ethereum comes from its utility as a blockchain protocol. the continued usage, upgrades, and transition to a PoS blockchain protocol set it apart from its peers.While several blockchains have been created to act as “Ethereum killers,” the network is still standing.
Despite a long road ahead, for today, the Ethereum community will savor this moment as they celebrate the new magic number: $2,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
