Despite facing challenges in scalability, network congestion, and high transaction fees, <a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a>'s leading position in the blockchain field remains significant. Ethereum is addressing these issues through Layer2 solutions and ongoing protocol upgrades, while maintaining its advantage as the core infrastructure of the decentralized internet (<a href="/web3" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Web3</a>). With the successful implementation of The Merge, Ethereum 2.0 significantly enhances its network transaction speed and throughput.

In addition, on July 23, 2024, the ETH ETF was officially launched. Following BTC, ETH is the second cryptocurrency to receive approval for a spot ETF. Since the launch of the ETH ETF, the cumulative inflow of funds is 26.84 billion US dollars, about 7% of the total inflow of funds for the BTC ETF.

According to Gate.io market data, ETH is currently priced at $3326.16, with a 24-hour decline of 9.52%. The current circulating market value of ETH is $401 billion. Since the bull market, ETH has significantly underperformed BTC, falling 30% from its historical high of $4,890.
