ETH/USD closed at 2357.29 after placing a high of 2426.31 and a low of 2307.00. ETH/USD
extended its gains on Wednesday and reached above 2400 level amid the positive developments surrounding the Ethereum network and its usage. Following the Berlin hard fork, Ethereum miners have started to increase network capacity to 15 million gas. This was up from the year-long limit of around 12.5 million. The parent company of Ethermine, Bitfly, announced on Wednesday that the gas limits were being increased from 12.5 million TO 15 million. Meanwhile, the Canadian crypto ETF space was heating up as regulators approved three new Ether
ETFs. The products resumed trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Tuesday, April 20. The three firms that had applied to launch Ethereum exchange-traded funds received approval from the Ontario Securities Commission.
The co-founder of
crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX, Arthur Hayes, that once called Ethereum a double-digit shitcoin, now wished that he should have bought some ETH during the pre-sale in 2014 when the digital asset was sold for about 30 cents. Hayes asserted that Ethereum, along with many other cryptocurrency projects were a copy of
BITCOIN. However, he believed that the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency offered a substantial improvement by creating a decentralized virtual computer that greatly expands the potential use cases for the technology underlying
Bitcoin. Furthermore, ahead of the big rollout of Uniswap V3, the leading decentralized protocol has deployed its third iteration to all four Ethereum testnets. On Wednesday, Uniswap announced that its V3 core and periphery smart contracts had been deployed to four Ethereum testnets named Ropsten, Gorli, Kovan, and Rinkeby.
