Ethereum’s outperformance this week has turned heads. While BTC is down 2% and SOL is down 4.6% over the past 7 days, ETH is up 8.9%. What’s driving the rally?
One big factor is renewed excitement around Base, where L2 apps like Clanker and Anoncast on Farcaster have been capturing tons of attention. Yet this surging isn’t limited to ETH itself—top ETH NFTs have notably been seeing revivals too.
