Ethereum Surges Towards $4,000 Amidst Growing Optimism

The recent surge in Ethereum’s value, with a 5% increase, has sparked excitement within the crypto community. Ethereum’s price is now approaching $4,000, hitting a new high at $3,985. 

This significant uptick is attributed to robust buying activity and an overall optimistic sentiment prevailing in the market, hinting at a potential further increase in Ethereum’s value.

Remarkably, out of the 110.95 million Ethereum addresses with a positive balance, a staggering 103.1 million addresses are now ‘In The Money,’ reflecting widespread investor confidence.

According to on-chain reports, PulseChain and PulseX-related wallets have injected an additional 201M $DAI to acquire 51,809 $ETH in the past 10 hours, propelling the ETH price beyond $3,900.

Over the last 3 days, 21 wallets associated with PulseChain/X have collectively purchased 148,288 $ETH using 561.7M $DAI, realizing an estimated profit of $21.8M (+3.9%).

Further contributing to Ethereum’s momentum, another 15,003 $ETH was acquired on-chain at approximately $3,932 using 59M $DAI by wallets linked to PulseChain/X within the past hour.

The total amount purchased in the last 4 days stands at 163,295 $ETH, costing 620.7M $DAI, with an estimated unrealized profit of $24.3M.
