It's been a huge year for ethereum — all-time highs, the London hard fork, the list goes on. Check out our Ethereum year-in-review here 👉
pot brownie have given humanity cause for celebration, hope for the future and a new meaning to the phrase “getting baked.”United Airlines passenger — who argued in vain that the red thong he was wearing over his face qualified as a facemaskserved as an astute political point — have provided us with some much needed comic relief in what was otherwise quite a trying year.
It’s unclear whether Bailey was the first financial leader to declare Bitcoin as a scam in 2021, but he certainly wouldn’t be the last. In seemingly no time at all, the entire crypto market soared in value, much to our delight. On the 19, ETH finally achieved a new ATH of $1,428.94.over the crypto space began circulating the Twittersphere.The first five days of February suggested that ETH — which hovered at around $1,300 — might be in for a quiet month.
A short while later, BTC crossed the $1 trillion market cap for the first time, and ETH’s market cap sat just shy of $225 billion.The global payment titans Mastercard and PayPal both indicated they planned to take advantage of the surge in interest in crypto, and the CME Group launched ETH futures as part of a wider expansion into crypto derivatives.
A spokesperson for AWS said, “with this launch, AWS customers can easily provision Ethereum nodes in minutes and connect to the public Ethereum main network and test networks such as Rinkeby and Ropsten” Clearly, partnerships with corporate behemoths like Amazon and Visa were big news for Ethereum. But it was the sale of a single NFT which brought the most media attention to Ethereum in March, and perhaps for all of 2021.
After the auction finished, the good people of Twitter were predictably outraged that anyone would pay such a ludicrous sum of money for a digital artwork.And yet, despite all the positive press directed at Beeple and Ethereum, most people remain unaware of what NFTs are. Or how a community of “Bored Apes” are able to hang out in a decentralized, autonomous “Yacht Club.”Just three days into April, ETH had already reached a new ATH of $2,143.23, which would be the first of many.
Naturally, the linkup between Mastercard and an Ethereum-related firm delighted the Ethereum community. The following day, the Coinbase IPO kicked off. NASDAQ provided a reference price of $250 per share, and during the first day the crypto exchange was worth more than $100 billion for a while. At this point, there was more than $93 billion locked into Ethereum’s DeFi protocols — a 400% increase from the year’s start.
Unfortunately, from this point on, May became one of Ethereum’s more volatile months. And a lot of people agree it wasBecause shortly after ETH reached an ATH which defied even the most optimistic shillers, Musk tweeted that Tesla would suspend Bitcoin payments for its electric vehicles due to environmental concerns about Bitcoin mining.
Despite El Salvador giving us a major milestone to celebrate, June wasn’t a fun month for Ethereum HODLers. ETH dropped from a high of $2,878.71 on the 3 all the way down to $1,773.4 on the 22. Despite the price drop in June, ETH was still up more than 200% since the beginning of the year — a significantly better performance than Bitcoin, which at this point was up by just 17%.Twitter founder Jack Dorsey provided some good news early on, announcing a new open-source Bitcoin Platform was in the works.
August was also a month of huge technical progress for Ethereum. On the 5 — at block 12,965,000 — the London hard fork went live on the Ethereum Mainnet. Although this improvement brought some stability to ETH’s gas fees, Ethereum miners weren’t too chuffed about their reduced profits. At this point in time, Ethereum’s DeFi protocols had more than $90 billion in locked value — up nearly 500% from January 2021.
When news broke that the Chinese government were making all cryptocurrency transactions illegal — and that it intended to double down on its efforts to end Bitcoin mining — it became clear that the crypto markets were in for a tough few weeks. Early in October, rumors began circulating that Amazon could soon make a move into crypto after a job advert searching for a “Head of Digital Currency and Blockchain” was spotted and shared on Twitter.
The legendary investor and owner of the Dallas Mavericks cited Ethereum’s growing utility, smart contracts, and DeFi applications as the features which impressed him the most. On Nov. 10, Bitcoin reached its current ATH of $68,789, and a week later ETH reached its ATH of $4,891.70. Sadly, November became a topsy turvy month for Ethereum from here on.
In light of these negative headlines, ETH’s price dropped sharply to below $4,000 from nearly all-time high levels.
