#ETHBreaks2k

If you blinked, you missed it. Ethereum not only broke through $509,916,378,312.00 with strength, but made it clear that it is still one of the most strategic assets in the crypto world. And it's not just because of the round number. This breakout comes at a time when the entire market is trying to understand which asset will dictate the pace of the next bullish leg — and $ETH is showing it wants the wheel.

Besides all the institutional narrative surrounding Ethereum, on-chain volume data, fee burns with net staking, and the quiet entry of major players show that whales are filling their carts. While retail is still looking in the rearview mirror, the big players are already positioning for the next race.
