Ethereum (ETH) has climbed 43% in a month, boosting its market cap past $435 billion and putting it ahead of retail giant Costco and healthcare heavyweight Johnson & Johnson in size, CompaniesMarketCap data shows. Ethereum’s market cap has climbed by over $150 billion since July 1.
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.
Ethereum’s recent rally has been fueled by several factors, mainly market-wide optimism during “Crypto Week,” which ended favorably with the House passing three major crypto bills , and increased accumulation of ETH by institutions and corporations.
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.
SharpLink Gaming, meanwhile, has been actively accumulating Ethereum. The company has recently expanded its equity offering from $1 billion to $6 billion to support its crypto gaming initiative and growing ETH reserves.
Ethereum was changing hands at over $3,600 at press time, marking a 5% daily gain, CoinGecko data shows. Trading volume stood at a strong $70 billion.
The crypto asset is still 26% away from its all-time high of $4,878 set in November 2021.

High interest rates are not the "end" of US stocks? Is profitability the real key?
JPMorgan believes that profit growth is the key factor determining the resilience of U.S. stock valuations. Data since 1950 shows an "inverted U-shaped" relationship between the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield and S&P 500 valuations. Based on current profit levels, yields would need to reach about 5%-6% to significantly compress valuations. As long as profit growth remains above 15%, there is still room for valuations to be re-rated. If the yield curve steepens in a bear market, cyclical sectors such as energy and financials will benefit more; if it flattens, technology stocks will have a relative advantage.
