- By May 12, Ether traded near $2,550 with a market cap above $308 billion, surpassing Coca-Cola and Alibaba, whose market caps stood around $303.5 billion and $303.7 billion respectively.
- While ETH's price surge reflects strong market confidence, experts cautioned about potential security vulnerabilities allowing attacks via offchain signed messages post-upgrade.
