ETH jumped 37% in the past month, and the technical and fundamental indicators point to a continued upward momentum.
The positive sentiment has also been boosted by Donald Trump's pro-crypto campaign promises.
Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, has experienced significant gains lately, even as other digital assets
retreat from the recent market rally. CoinaMarketCap's data shows that ETH is currently trading at $3,635, up 5% and 10% in the past day and week,
respectively.
This trend, coinciding with Donald Trump's victory in
the US presidential election, has highlighted a growing appetite for risk
assets and Ethereum's potential to break key resistance levels. Amid the rise, the market is watching the next important price level of $4,000 with the current bullish technical indicators and strong
fundamentals.
Among the factors boosting ETH is leveraged ETF
products, which have reportedly experienced a substantial rise in demand since
early November. The demand for VolatilityShares 2x Ether ETF rose 160% since
November 5, Cointelegraph reported.
ETF Boom and US Election Aftermath
In the three weeks since the election, investor
confidence in risk assets like Ethereum has surged, fueled in part by
expectations of a more favorable regulatory environment. Although Bitcoin led the surge with new all-time high
prices, Ethereum's price has been steadily climbing, positioning it as a
strong-performing cryptocurrency in the coming months.

Ethereum moved from a low of $3,260 on Tuesday to a
high of $3,685 on Thursday, representing a 13% increase in just 2 days. ETH's
gains are more substantial on the monthly chart. The token has surged 37%, with
technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and moving averages
suggesting strong bullish momentum.
This optimism is further fueled by the network's
dominant role in decentralized finance (DeFi), where it commands over half the
total value locked across all platforms. Data from DefiLlama shows that Ether has nearly $70 billion in TLV, although slightly lower from 2021's more than $100 billion.

Ethereum's fundamentals remain robust, with rising
on-chain activity, new wallet creation, and increased revenue. Layer-2 scaling
solutions also attract developers and users, enhancing the network's
scalability and competitiveness.
Additionally, Ethereum ETFs have had consistent
inflows, with $90 million recently added, according to
Farside Investors data. Ethereum remains the backbone of the DeFi ecosystem.

Additionally, Lido, Aave, and EigenLayer collectively hold a
significant share of this value. Stablecoin activity on Ethereum has also
surpassed Tron, with $60.3 billion in USDT now hosted on the Ethereum network,
Coindesk reported.
The broader market sentiment around Ethereum has also
benefited from Trump's pro-crypto campaign promises. His administration has
signaled a reduction in regulatory hurdles, sparking hopes of a DeFi resurgence
in the U.S.

Stablecoins Are Becoming a Settlement Tool - And Brokers Need to Adapt

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
