The price surge has been driven by the launch of Ethereum futures on CME on Feb. 8 (77 contracts were traded upon the launch yesterday) and Bitcoin hitting two all-time highs in a row: $44,800 on Monday and $48,000 earlier today.
These BTC peaks were provoked by the news of Tesla adding a whopping $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin to its balance sheet.
