Despite being down against Bitcoin, Ether has broken its previous all-time high. Currently sitting at $255.70, Ethereum has grown 4.27% in the last 24h with 123M exchanged in the ETH/USD market. The continues upsurge in the price of Ethereum is connected to the EEA organization, to the upcoming protocol changes (PoS, ZK-Snarks), and possibly do to the recent news about Vitalik Buterin meeting the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
