Ethereum price skyrockets amid growing political support
Speculation about the U.S. national reserve in Ethereum has increased
Ethereum, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, has seen a dramatic rise in price, driven by increased political backing and the emergence of new decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
This surge is driven by support from market enthusiasts and policy makers alike, signaling Ethereum's growing influence in the digital economy, СoinEdition informs.
Political endorsements fuel Ethereum’s growth
A key factor in Ethereum’s rising momentum is the endorsement from influential political figures, particularly members of the Trump family. Eric Trump, for instance, recently expressed his confidence in Ethereum, emphasizing that now is the perfect time to invest in the cryptocurrency. His endorsement stresses Ethereum's importance in the digital economy, adding credibility to the asset as it garners more attention from investors and political figures alike.
Vivek Raman, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency market, emphasized the growing influence of Ethereum. He talked about the launch of World Liberty Financial, a new DeFi app built on Ethereum that has gained attention due to the Trump family's support.

Growing political support was further solidified with an investment World Liberty Financial in ETH. Backed by the Trump family, the project has attracted significant attention in both the crypto and political realms, positioning Ethereum as a leader in the evolving DeFi space. This development marks a critical step forward in Ethereum's journey towards mainstream adoption.
Since Trump's project is investing millions of dollars in Ethereum, speculation about the U.S. national reserve in Ethereum has increased.
Against this backdrop, Ethereum recorded a price increase of more than 10% per day, reaching $2,806.
Critics warn against overreliance on political backing
While political backing can provide Ethereum with the visibility it needs, not everyone within the crypto community is enthusiastic about the growing political ties. Lefteris Karapetsas, a prominent critic, has voiced concerns that Ethereum’s strength lies in its decentralized nature and technological advancements, rather than its political endorsements.
He cautioned that the cryptocurrency’s decentralized ethos could be at risk if it becomes too closely tied to political figures or movements.
The road ahead for Ethereum
As Ethereum continues to gain momentum, its future remains at a pivotal juncture. Political support could significantly accelerate Ethereum’s mainstream adoption, but its success will ultimately depend on how well it maintains its decentralized identity while navigating the complexities of politics and regulation.
Investors and traders alike will need to stay informed about both the technological and political developments shaping Ethereum’s future.
