<a href="https://u.today/ethereum-eth-needs-these-3-crucial-factors-to-align-for-growth-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum (ETH)</a>, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, rose above $3,000 in the last 24 hours for the first time since April 2022 before falling back amid a crypto market sell-off.
At the time of writing, ETH was down 1.43% in the last 24 hours, at $2,891. As Ethereum hovers below $3,000, on-chain analytics firm <a href="https://twitter.com/intotheblock/status/1759962444904923495" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">IntoTheBloc</a> presents what the on-chain picture looks like.

 ETH is extremely close to breaking $3k.

</blockquote>
In total, nearly 16 million <a href="https://u.today/massive-ethereum-whale-shifts-15000-eth-in-staking-move" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a> addresses (or around 14.7%) are still holding at a loss. In addition, if Ethereum returns to $3,000, about 879,000 addresses will become profitable. These addresses have been out of profit for two years and may look to sell and break even at this psychological threshold.
On the bigger picture, this number of addresses is a relatively small obstacle for ETH. With more than 83% of addresses currently profitable, Ethereum's most likely scenario is to reclaim $3,000.
<h2 id="ethereum-outperforms-bitcoin">Ethereum outperforms Bitcoin</h2>
<a href="https://twitter.com/glassnode/status/1760314837224022339" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin and Ethereum</a> are leading the asset performance pack, with year-to-date gains of 17.6% and 18.2%, respectively.
Following the introduction of the Bitcoin ETF, ETH has begun to outperform BTC, an aberration from its relative underperformance in 2023.
However, the aggregate altcoin market cap has not performed as well, with YTD growth less than half that of the two major cryptocurrencies. &nbsp;
<a href="https://u.today/ethereum-eth-smashes-major-network-milestone-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> is outperforming Bitcoin due to expectations that the next wave of new U.S. crypto exchange-traded funds may target the second-largest digital asset, heralding a surge in investor demand.
Per historical data, Ethereum inflows tend to lag behind Bitcoin, suggesting investors look for confidence and confirmation that digital asset markets are expanding. In the 2021 cycle, the peak influx of new capital into BTC came 20 days before the peak influx into ETH.
