The development suggests that high-net-worth investors remain to be bullish on the token as its price breached the $0.40 mark. The token briefly touched $0.43 before retracing in price on Thursday. Bulls are aiming to push it above the $1 mark but the unsustainable market momentum is dragging its price down.

The token attracted bullish sentiments in January and spiked nearly 20% since the start of the year. The growing interest among the whales comes after Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse said to CNBC that he’s confident the ruling will be in their favor.

But I also don’t really feel that same type of apathy in the market now that I did back in 2019 and 2020.” At the time of writing, one Ethereum is worth $1,736. Cowen says that less people would care about Ethereum if the price of the second most valuable cryptocurrency fell to triple digi...
