#ETHCrossed2500 ETH’s drop below $2,500 comes after a week of mixed performance across major cryptocurrencies. Earlier in the week, Ethereum had rallied to a high of $2,650, buoyed by renewed optimism around network upgrades and institutional adoption. However, the momentum began tapering off Thursday evening, with prices gradually retreating as traders appeared to lock in profits. The 5.17% 24-hour increase, though still positive, underscores a “cooling off” phase, as the asset’s gains narrowed sharply from double-digit percentages seen earlier in the week.
