Ethereum (ETH) rose over 4% in the past 24 hours, hitting $3,853 and nearing $4,000. Despite the uptick, Ethereum lags behind top-performing altcoins like Solana (SOL) and XRP, as well as Bitcoin (BTC), all of which have posted up to 5X gains since the rally began.
Despite completing various upgrades following The Merge, Ether has failed to reach new highs and is down 21.12% from its all-time high of $4,891.70. The approval of spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs) earlier this year has also failed to push the price any higher. To note, ETH dominance has dipped to 12.7%.

In the past month, ETH is up 58.63% while XRP has surged 355.56%. Over the past year, ETH rose only 73% while SOL jumped 289.83%. Even Cardano (ADA) and memecoins like Dogecoin (DOGE) have outperformed ETH, frustrating many ETH holders.
