Ethereum saw a similar trend, with trading volume spiking by 12% after surpassing $2,100, totaling 1.3 million ETH traded, as reported by Kaiko at 10:30 AM UTC (Kaiko, 2025).

Ethereum's total value locked (TVL) in DeFi protocols also saw a 5% increase, reaching $105 billion at 10:00 AM UTC, as reported by DeFi Llama (DeFi Llama, 2025). These metrics collectively suggest a robust market environment conducive to further price appreciation.
