Ether Breaks Above $2,400, Reaching $2,418 on Binance Spot Market

Ether (ETH) moved above $2,400 and traded at $2,418 on Binance’s spot market at 1:35 p.m. ET Friday (17:35 UTC). Ether is the second-largest crypto asset by market capitalization.

Fifteen minutes earlier, Ether traded at $2,398. Its price was down 0.87% over the prior hour. The two comparisons cover different time windows: the quarter-hour reading was below $2,400, while the latest snapshot was above it. Ether’s move above the threshold therefore coincided with a negative one-hour change in the same price update.

Both figures are dollar-denominated spot prices from Binance. The $2,418 quote captures Ether at one point in time, while the 0.87% figure compares its price over an hour. Together, the readings show Ether moving above $2,400 over the 15-minute interval even as its hourly change remained negative.
