Over the past month alone, it increased by 15.1%. Projecting this to the end of May, the Realized Price could rise by 26.43% to around $1,014 per Ether. Based on a multiple of 5, this would result in a market price of $5,070 per Ether, which is an increase of 116%.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2021-04\/d3cd6824-3923-4afc-9f7a-e11a57c38535.png\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Ethereum: Realized Price.
