Ether led a broad cryptocurrency rally this week, heading for its strongest gains since 2021, bolstered by easing global trade tensions and optimism over a network upgrade.

The second-largest digital token by market value jumped as much as 14% on Friday to $2,490, extending its weekly advance to nearly 33%. That marks its steepest weekly gain since 2021, when speculative excesses and low interest rates fueled the pandemic-era crypto boom.
