The second-largest crypto asset is now closing in on Mastercard and Netflix, the next two giants ahead of it by market cap. Mastercard is valued at over $504 billion, while Netflix sits at around $542 billion.

On the ETF front, US-listed spot Ethereum ETFs saw a record $726 million in daily inflows on Wednesday, their highest since launching nearly a year ago. Over the past nine consecutive trading days, the nine Ethereum funds have collectively attracted $2.3 billion.
