Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) broke through $2,700 in a searing rally Tuesday, bolstered by improving macroeconomic conditions.

What happened: The second-largest cryptocurrency by capitalization soared over 8% in the last 24 hours, reaching levels last seen in the last week of February.

ETH's trading volume jumped 10.30% to nearly $35 billion, indicating high liquidity and trader interest.

The upsurge made ETH the biggest large-cap cryptocurrency gainer over the last 24 hours, significantly outpacing Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and XRP (CRYPTO: XRP).

The rally also excited ETH's derivatives traders, as the Open Interest skyrocketed 16% to $32.28 billion in the last 24 hours, according to Coinglass, the highest since Jan. 24.

Nearly $160 million in bearish leveraged bets on ETH were erased, accounting for 64% of total short liquidations during the last 24 hours. Over 60% of all Binance traders with open ETH positions were long as of this writing.

Institutional investors started piling on the cryptocurrency. London-based digital asset investment firm Abraxas Capital purchased another $84.7 million in ETH, taking its total buys in the last week to $561 million, according to Lookonchain.

Just as we suspected, Abraxas Capital borrowed $USDT to buy more $ETH.

When we posted, $ETH was at $2,460, now it has broken above $2,700--up ~10%!

Over the past week, Abraxas Capital has bought 242,652 $ETH($561M).https://t.co/vZTxLPcuJS https://t.co/qZZkGndZEd pic.twitter.com/o7NgUjSguU

The uptick followed softer-than-expected consumer inflation data for April, easing fears about President Donald Trump’s trade policies and encouraging a risk-on mood.

Price Action: At the time of writing, ETH was exchanging hands at $2,638.49, up 8.63% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro. The coin was still 13% away from reclaiming $3,000.
