Second largest cryptocurrency Ethereum breaks new record thanks to EIB

According to Reuters, the main altcoin and the second largest cryptocurrency in the world by capitalization, ETH, has reached a record price point of $ 2,713.

Danny Kim, the head of the income department of crypto broker SFOX, explained that the price increase was influenced by reports, stating that the European Investment Bank plans to issue two-year digital bonds worth 100 million euros. The price increase was also influenced by the decrease in the volume of Ethereum in the market.

According to Danny Kim, the amount of Ether on the exchanges was the lowest last year and continues to decline. The likelihood of a major sale is reduced with less availability on the exchange.

Ethereum last set the record on April 3 ($ 2148). This was facilitated by the launch of cryptocurrency transactions using the Ethereum blockchain in the Visa payment system.
