The second largest cryptocurrency in the world has achieved a historic milestone by reaching a market capitalization of 500 billion dollars faster than any other major company or even Bitcoin. This feat is accompanied by a doubling of profits for long-term holders. But how high can ETH rise before profit-taking reignites volatility?

In summary

Ethereum becomes the fastest asset in history to surpass the 500 billion dollar market capitalization threshold.

The price of ETH reached a new all-time high of 4,946 dollars, driven by a wave of institutional accumulation.

Unrealized gains for long-term investors have doubled, with an MVRV ratio of 2.15.

Glassnode warns of increased volatility and potential selling pressures.

Ethereum breaks all records for rapid valuation

Ethereum has just written a new chapter in financial history. The cryptocurrency founded by Vitalik Buterin has surpassed the symbolic barrier of 500 billion dollars in capitalization at an unprecedented speed.

Neither the largest companies in the world nor even Bitcoin at the peak of its bull cycles had reached this threshold this quickly.

This performance is based on a record of 4,946 dollars reached last week, driven by massive accumulation led by institutional investors and market "whales."
