Ethereum, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, reached a market capitalization of $320 billion on Thursday after ETH hit a record high of nearly $2,750.
Ethereum is now more valuable than the payment giant PayPal.
According to the latest data by Coinmarketcap, Ethereum is up more than 12% in the last 7 days. The cryptocurrency has jumped about 3.1% in the last 24 hours. The latest surge in ETH prices came after a increase in retail and institutional demand for the Ethereum.
The total market capitalization of PayPal Holdings is currently around $318 billion, meaning that Ethereum has surpassed PayPal’s total market capitalization.
Binance Coin (BNB) and ETH rose significantly during the latest $200 billion crypto market recovery.
Cryptoanalytic company Santiment said on Twitter.
“The dormant ETHEREUM tokens are rapidly moving to justify another historical high, exceeding $2,750 today. With many new ETH addresses being created and inactive tokens cycling rapidly, this is the youngest average investment we’ve seen since July 2018″
