Ethereum ETH/USD is still dominating the charts as the second-largest cryptocurrency token in terms of market capitalization.
It is an open-source blockchain-based platform that is constantly being utilized due to its smart contract functionality, which powers decentralized applications (dApps), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Success is driven by the booming DeFi, NFTs and Altair upgrade
Ethereum successfully launched its Altair upgrade, with 98.7 of nodes being upgraded.
This Altair upgrade will precede the merge of Beacon Chain, and the Ethereum mainnet.
The success of the booming sector of decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) can be attributed to this growth of ETH.
They highlight the ongoing rise in demand for Ether (ETH) in the future, and as such, ensure an additional bullish outlook in Q4 of 2021 and a potential push in Q1 of 2022.
Additionally, since August, Ethereum has also seen important upgrades such as its London Hard Fork, which introduced a deflationary burning mechanism to assess its fee structure.
