Will Ethereum remain over $300?
Yesterday wasn’t the first time when Ethereum crossed the $300 mark. It even went over $400 earlier this month. However, in the past two weeks, the cryptocurrency did not have more than two consecutive green days and frequently fell below the mark.

Ethereum is still extremely popular, once again beating Bitcoin in the trading volume category yesterday.
