The price of ether, the digital token that powers the ethereum blockchain, rebounded above $300 today.
The cryptocurrency rose to as much as $329.43 during the session, up roughly 12.4% from the day's opening, an increase of more than 20% in the last 24 hours, according to Coinmarketcap.

After experiencing a sharp rally that pushed it to nearly $415 around mid-June, the price of ether suffered a correction of sorts, causing the alternative asset protocol to fall below $300 on 26th June.
As for what caused ether to experience its recent upswing, analysts provided mixed responses. Some market observers, for example, Redwood City Ventures investor Sean Walsh, stated that ether's rise was merely a natural response to the recent correction in cryptocurrencies.
"The recent ether sell-off was a little drastic, so there's undoubtedly a reversion-to-mean scenario playing out here," he said.
Tim Enneking, managing director of Crypto Asset Fund, offered similar input, stating that ether prices rose in response to the short-lived pullback that cryptographic tokens underwent during recent sessions.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Gold tops $5,000 as bitcoin stalls near $87,000 in widening macro-crypto split: Asia Morning Briefing
Bitcoin’s onchain data points to supply overhang and weak participation, while gold’s breakout is priced by markets as a durable macro regime shift.
What to know:
- Gold’s surge above $5,000 an ounce is increasingly seen as a durable regime shift, with investors treating the metal as a persistent hedge against geopolitical risk, central bank demand and a weaker dollar.
- Bitcoin is stuck near $87,000 in a low-conviction market, as on-chain data show older holders selling into rallies, newer buyers absorbing losses and a heavy supply overhang capping moves toward $100,000.
- Derivatives and prediction markets point to continued consolidation in bitcoin and sustained strength in gold, with thin futures volumes, subdued leverage and weak demand for higher-beta crypto assets like ether reinforcing the cautious tone.
