Ethereum’s hardfork was postponed to later this month, but the coin saw a considerable increase in its price despite this news. Earlier this month, on the 6th of Feb, ETH was trading at $102/ETH, and started to rise after two days to reach a high of $170 on Bitfinex today. Ethereum, at press time was trading at $143/ETH.
EOS, which saw a monumental growth over the past week, was infact trading at only $2.3/EOS at the beginning of this month. The mini-bull run past week saw EOS jumping to its 2019 high at $4.5 today right before the price started crashing.
