Ethereum is now valued at $205.34 with a total market cap of approximately $20.9 billion. It is within a $9 billion range of the third largest cryptocurrency, XRP.

The short interest for both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have recently reached all-time highs and over the past 24 hours, ETH’s short interest has increased nearly 15%.
