Ethereum Just Approached $3,500. 3 Reasons This Leading Cryptocurrency Is Still a Buy
Key Points Ethereum is the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. It has underperformed this year, especially compared to Bitcoin. Several developing catalysts could change this. 10 stocks we like better than Ethereum › Cryptocurrencies are rounding into form. Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency by market cap, hit fresh all-time highs of more than $123,000 on July 14. The asset's run has also sent a jolt into Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), which shot up to almost $3,500 per token on July 17 after having a difficult year so far. Ethereum has traded at much higher levels in the past (its record is $4,892 back in November 2021), and I think it's been a bit surprising to see the performance chart of the world's second-largest cryptocurrency diverge so much from Bitcoin's. Here are three reasons Ethereum can keep its momentum going. 1. The environment remains favorable Republicans in the House of Representatives kicked off "Crypto Week" on Monday with the goal of passing three crypto bills that are intended to create a more favorable regulatory environment for digital assets. The Genius Act is set to create a regulatory framework for stablecoins, which are digital assets backed by a commodity or currency. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (Clarity Act for short) would create a regulatory framework for digital assets that its backers say will provide "strong safeguards and long-overdue regulatory certainty." The Anti-CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) Surveillance State Act would prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing its own digital currency, which would essentially give the private sector first crack at stablecoins and other forms of innovation in the digital currency space. The Genius Act is the furthest along in the legislative process, having already been passed by the Senate. Other potential tailwinds include lower interest rates, which have historically benefited cryptocurrencies. The market is expecting the Federal Reserve to make a few cuts to its benchmark federal funds rate later this year, with more to follow in 2026. 2. Institutional interest is heating up As the regulatory environment continues to become more favorable, institutional investors and mainstream financial institutions will likely lose some of their trepidation about getting involved with cryptocurrencies. While Bitcoin could be the largest beneficiary of that, Ethereum is drawing interest as well. Recently, SharpLink Gaming purchased nearly $48.9 million worth of Ethereum. Bitmine Immersion Technologies also recently announced a $250 million private placement led by a group of top crypto investors. The plan is to follow in the footsteps of Strategy, which has tapped the capital markets to raise funds that it then uses to buy Bitcoin. But in Bitmine's case, the plan is to buy Ethereum. Part of the recent interest is around stablecoins because Tether and USDC, the two largest stablecoins, are issued on Ethereum's network. Fundstrat's Tom Lee, board chairman at Bitmine, said in a recent interview on CNBC that interest around stablecoins is set to drive Ethereum much higher this year and long term: "Stablecoins have really exploded because consumers, businesses, and banks are really interested in adopting this. The majority of stablecoins are actually transacted on the Ethereum blockchain. And if Treasury Secretary [Scott] Bessent is right, and it goes from a $250 billion market to $2 trillion, that's exponential demand for Ethereum." 3. This metric suggests Ethereum is set to close the gap with Bitcoin It's never easy to value cryptocurrencies because they don't generate earnings or cash flow -- at least, not in the traditional sense like publicly traded companies do. Still, as the asset class has grown more popular, many experts and analysts have tried to apply some sort of valuation methodology. One easy one to look at is the Ethereum-to-Bitcoin ratio, which divides the price of Ethereum by the price of Bitcoin. Currently, the ratio is at roughly 0.025. While that's not the lowest the ratio has ever been, it's definitely toward the lower end of the spectrum, looking back to 2015. Now, historical data can never predict the future. It's also possible that Bitcoin's now more prominent position, which has it viewed as a form of digital gold, will continue to send its price to new highs and create a wider disparity in the ratio. But it's also quite possible that Ethereum is undervalued right now and well positioned for a run-up. Should you invest $1,000 in Ethereum right now?

Trump administration imposes limits on Mexican flights and threatens Delta alliance in trade dispute
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy testifies during a House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Oversight hearing on the Department of Transportation's Policies and Programs and Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Request on Capitol Hill, Wednesday, July 16, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Rod Lamkey, Jr.) The Trump administration imposed new restrictions Saturday on flights from Mexico and threatened to end a longstanding partnership between Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico in response to limits the Mexican government placed on passenger and cargo flights into Mexico City several years ago. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Mexico's actions to force airlines to move out of the main Benito Juarez International Airport to the newer Felipe Angeles International Airport more than 30 miles (48.28 kilometers) away violated a trade agreement between the two countries and gave domestic airlines an unfair advantage. Mexico is the top foreign destination for Americans with more than 40 million passengers flying there last year. 'Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg deliberately allowed Mexico to break our bilateral aviation agreement,' Duffy said, referring to the previous president and his transportation secretary. 'That ends today. Let these actions serve as a warning to any country who thinks it can take advantage of the U.S., our carriers, and our market. America First means fighting for the fundamental principle of fairness.' All Mexican passenger, cargo and charter airlines will now be required to submit their schedules to the Transportation Department and seek government approval of their flights until Duffy is satisfied with the way Mexico is treating U.S. airlines. It's not immediately clear how Duffy's actions might affect the broader trade war with Mexico and negotiations over tariffs. A spokesperson for Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum didn't reply immediately to a request for comment. Sheinbaum didn't mention the new restrictions during either of her two speaking events on Saturday. Delta and Aeromexico have been fighting the Transportation Department's efforts to end their partnership that began in 2016 since early last year. The airlines have argued that it's not fair to punish them for the Mexican government's actions, and they said ending their agreement would jeopardize nearly two dozen routes and $800 million in benefits to both countries' economies that come from tourism spending and jobs. 'The U.S. Department of Transportation's tentative proposal to terminate its approval of the strategic and pro-competitive partnership between Delta and Aeromexico would cause significant harm to consumers traveling between the U.S. and Mexico, as well as U.S. jobs, communities, and transborder competition,' Delta said in a statement. Aeromexico's press office said it was reviewing the order and intended to present a joint response with Delta in the coming days. But the order terminating approval of the agreement between the airlines wouldn't take effect until October, and the airlines are likely to continue fighting that decision. The airlines said in a previous filing fighting the order that it believes the loss of direct flights would prompt over 140,000 American tourists and nearly 90,000 Mexican tourists not to visit the other country and hurt the economies of both countries with the loss of their spending. Associated Press writer Amaranta Marentes in Mexico City contributed to this report. Josh Funk, The Associated Press
