According to data from Coingecko, the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) native token has experienced significant price surges in recent days, gaining over 20% in value within the last 24 hours.
These gains are driven by increasing excitement surrounding the upcoming ENSv2 upgrade, which aims to enhance the efficiency and scalability of the naming service.
ENS Token Gains Massively
ENS, the native token of the Ethereum Naming Service, has experienced significant price surges, particularly in the last 24 hours. According to Coingecko’s chart analytics, ENS moved from a low of approximately $26, a critical resistance level since May 2022, to a peak of about $33.1, representing nearly a 30% increase. At the time of writing, ENS has slightly decreased to around $31.6, still over 21% higher than its value on Sunday.
Chart analysis shows that ENS has gained over 42% in price over the past seven days, rising from a low of $22. The price surge accelerated on June 30, leading into July 1. Despite this strong performance, ENS is still trading 62% below its all-time high of over $83.
Following this substantial increase, ENS is $10 million shy of achieving a market cap of $1 billion, entering the “billionaires club.”
On Monday, July 1, crypto analyst Javon Marks shared an analysis of ENS price action on X, highlighting the potential for the token to reach the $76.121 target following its breakout. Marks noted that ENS is creating new post-breakout highs, suggesting that a continued breakout could result in an additional 138% increase, potentially propelling the token to the $76.121 target swiftly.
