The price of ETH has recently surpassed $1,200 for the first time since January 2018, having a record of a 62% upside trend in 2021 alone. Considering its bullish consolidation pattern, the top cryptocurrency could surpass its price all-time high of about $1,450 earlier than expected.
The gains accumulated by Ethereum this year have translated into a $53 billion increase in its market cap. The vast increase was enough to displace a number of household conglomerates, such as Wells Fargo, AstraZeneca, Philip Morris, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup.

Bitcoin has outranked big techs and businesses across the world, including Visa, Berkshire Hathaway, Alibaba, and Tencent. It currently occupies the 10th position with a lot of room to improve.
