ETH is up by 3.6%, though it’s worth noting that the protocol went through a major update called Pectra yesterday. It combines a total of 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIP), including account abstraction designed to transform regular wallets into smart contract-like powerhouses.

XRP is also in the green. Its price is up by almost 2%. Other altcoins such as SOL, DOGE, ADA, AVAX, LINK, TONCOIN, HBAR, and more, are charting gains between 2% and 5%.
