ETH did just great this year indeed. It was started back in February when the Alliance was announced and the media got attention of it, that's how it all started. ETH back then was trading at about 25 dollars, and it's over 400.. in just a year. That was a big moment though back then, because it was the first time that the public heard of Ethereum and what it is capable of, and the fact that so many companies decided to make it part of their long-term strategy is something that started to give it creditbility, which is very important in the crypto world. Just wait until people actually start using Ethereum for their daily lives, like using apps or using other devices that are connected to the Ethereum network, the price will go to another 5000% plus.
