Data from Poloniex, the digital currency exchange that sees the most bitcoin-denominated trade for the ethereum-based cryptocurrency, suggests the price rose as high as $84 during morning trading. The news comes just days after ether passed $60 on 27th April, setting a previous high.
Prices are currently averaging about $81, according to available data.
Thus far, markets are continuing a trend seen in late March, with bullish sentiment appearing to establish a floor beneath the digital currency’s price. That sentiment seemed to have been buoyed last week amid news that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is weighing up whether to approve an exchange-traded fund linked to ether.
As CoinDesk reported last week, the SEC has officially begun assessing a proposal initially put forward last July to create an ‘EtherIndex Ether Trust’. The scheme's backers are seeking to have the ETF listed on the NYSE Arca exchange.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
