Obviously, the meteoric rise in price has been driven by the launch of Ethereum Futures on CME on 8th February. On the first day of trading Ethereum Futures, 388 contracts were reportedly traded.

On the other hand, Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has also earlier today recorded new all-time highs around $48,000.

This BTC peak was clearly initiated by the news of Tesla adding a whopping $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin to its balance sheet and also allowing payments in BTC.
