Ethereum has hit a new all-time high of over $4, 416 just 2 days after eclipsing its previous record.
The new high comes after the latest Ethereum 2.0 Altair upgrade, the third upgrade in 7 months that brings a more secure Ethereum closer to realization.
The latest upgrade follows the August 2021 London hardfork which saw Ethereum institute a deflationary mechanism by introducing a base fee to the network, which essentially destroys network fees reducing Ethereum’s rate of supply growth on the network in the process.
