Ethereum's latest price surge is driven by institutional access in Singapore.

Key Developments

  • DBS Bank launched tokenized structured notes on the Ethereum blockchain.
  • Available to institutional investors via exchanges ADDX, DigiFT, and HydraX.
  • The first product is a crypto-linked participatory note offering cash payouts when crypto prices rise, while limiting losses if prices fall.
  • Each note is priced at $1,000 for easier trading among family offices and professional investors.
  • Singapore's GDP increased from $308 billion in 2014 to over $547 billion in 2024, signaling economic strength.

Current Market Status

Ethereum (ETH) gained 3% in the last 24 hours, trading at $4,310 with a market cap of $520 billion. This follows a drop to $4,100 on August 20 amid market uncertainty.

Increased institutional interest is anticipated as a result of these developments.
