Ethereum is experiencing a welcome price boost. The second-largest cryptocurrency has jumped nearly 30% so far in February amid a flurry of positive developments like faster, cheaper transactions and speculation around a possible Ethereum ETF approval this year. But that's not all that's happening in crypto. Here is the TLDR on today’s top stories: • New blockchain game token explodes into top 10 leaderboard by volume 💥 • Ethereum price is up amid positive updates and bullish sentiment 📈 • Sui network sees stellar growth, doubling TVL since January ⬆️ • ARK Invest dumps $90M in Coinbase stock despite Wall Street optimism 😲 • Hong Kong financial circles rush to tap booming crypto demand 💰 Now let's dive deeper into what exactly is happening behind these eye-catching headlines...   PIXEL’s Makes It to Top 10 A freshly launched token powering viral Ethereum-based game Pixels vaulted straight into the top 10 most-traded cryptocurrencies this week right out the gate. The PIXEL token saw an astonishing $1.3 billion in exchange activity on its first day - exceeding big coins like Avalanche, Cardano and Dogecoin. It also dominated blockchain gaming tokens, trumping runners-up by over $1 billion in volume. Even its host Ronin Network couldn't compete. Experts attribute the unprecedented debut to Pixels' expansive play base after months of strategic growth campaigns and rewards attracting engaged future token holders.

The surge comes ahead of a major network upgrade called Dencun that promises faster and cheaper transactions. There is also growing speculation that US regulators may finally approve an Ethereum ETF this year like they recently did for Bitcoin. Are we finally experiencing a bull run?

The Sui network's total value locked - measuring platform adoption - has doubled since January to over $590 million after a slow start. Critics draw comparisons with rival Aptos started by other Meta veterans using similar tech foundations. However, developers are leaning into Sui’s resilience under pressure - processing a remarkable 6,000 transactions per second in testing while maintaining low fees. But why is Sui experiencing this sudden growth?

Now ARK still holds plenty of exposure. But its abrupt about-face despite Wall Street cheering seems peculiar given its reputation of closely tracking crypto undercurrents. Sure, not every backer welcomed results equally. Some still demand clarity on whether buzzy dynamics like Bitcoin ETFs lifted tides disproportionately near-term. So Is Cathie Wood finally making a huge mistake? Or Ark Invest knows something that we don’t?
