Ether, a ‘90s tech stock’ ends July with biggest gain in 3 years
Main Idea
Ether (ETH) experienced its strongest monthly gain in three years, rising 56% in July 2024, driven by strong ETF inflows and institutional buying, though network activity growth remains modest.
Key Points
1. Ether surged 56% in July 2024, its best monthly performance since July 2022, with its price rising from $2,468 to $3,862.
2. Spot Ether ETFs recorded a 19-day net inflow streak, totaling over $5.37 billion, with BlackRock's iShares Ethereum ETF becoming the third-fastest to reach $10 billion in assets.
3. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas compared Ether's recent performance to '90s tech stocks, highlighting its rapid growth amid ETF enthusiasm.
4. Despite the price rally, Ethereum network activity grew only 5% and revenue increased just 3%, with annual revenue at $764 million against a $466 billion market cap.
5. Analyst Markus Thielen noted that Ethereum's current revenue yield is significantly lower than in November 2021, when it generated $1.5 billion in monthly revenue.
