ETH's Revenge
  
   
     
   
     
    
 

**📸 Daily Market Snapshot: **As ETH pops above $4K, investors are cautiously hoping the worst is behind the ETH:BTC ratio, which has climbed some 25% since hitting cycle lows last month. With BTC already pushing through the $100K barrier, narrative momentum may be shifting to when ETH will hit its own all-time highs. ETH still has a ways to go, still trading 20% below its ATH of $4,891.

Blockchains, particularly smart contract platforms like Ethereum, are not businesses—as explained in my [previous](https://cryptodiario.medium.com/ethereum-the-ultimate-coordination-technology-258a6257c75) [articles](https://cryptodiario.medium.com/ethereum-a-permissionless-sovereign-jurisdiction-3c57407f10f4), they are emerging, sovereign, digital economies with their own reserve currencies. **In other words, smart contract-based blockchains like Ethereum are emerging network states**—digital nations that manifest not only through a technological stack but also through a monetary jurisdiction and reserve currency, a shared set of values and beliefs, a common history and culture, and sometimes even foundational myths.* *
