Cryptocurrency Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) has soared over the past week, but remains well below the all-time highs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42018208/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-pepe-shiba-inu-benzinga-readers-pick-this-crypto-to-have-the-biggest-gain-before-end-of-2025">set back in 2021.</a>
While Ethereum&#8217;s gains in 2024 are less than those of other cryptocurrencies, the second-largest crypto still trades significantly higher than when it launched in 2015.
What Happened: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed the digital currency via a 2014 white paper, with the goal of adding scripting to make it easier for application development and to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/09/22811912/5-things-you-might-not-know-about-ethereum-creator-vitalik-buterin-3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">set up binding contracts.</a>
Ethereum was officially launched on July 30, 2015. During its first calendar year, Ethereum traded between $0.42 and $1.39 with a starting price of around $0.74 according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sofi.com/learn/content/ethereum-price-history/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SoFi</a>. The first Ethereum transaction was carried out on Aug. 7, 2015,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.globaldata.com/data-insights/financial-services/ethereums-price-history/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according&nbsp;</a>to Global Data.
Ethereum gained momentum thanks to its listing on cryptocurrency platform&nbsp;Coinbase Global Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>). It became the second-ever cryptocurrency, after&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), to be listed on the platform.
Over the years there have been several major events and updates to Ethereum including the fork of Ethereum 2.0 and&nbsp;Ethereum Classic&nbsp;(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/etc/usd">ETC</a>).
Ethereum saw increased attention and a surge in valuation related to the boom of non-fungible tokens in 2021. Many of the NFTs were built on the Ethereum blockchain, including&nbsp;CryptoPunks&nbsp;and&nbsp;Bored Ape Yacht Club. A record sale of a&nbsp;Beeple&nbsp;NFT&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/03/20134939/beeple-nft-sold-for-a-record-69-million" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">created interest in NFTs&nbsp;</a>and Ethereum.
Today, Ethereum is the second most valuable cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $403.1 billion.

Investing $1,000 in Ethereum:&nbsp;An investment in the second largest cryptocurrency the year it launched would have generated a strong return for investors.
While it was harder to invest in Ethereum prior to its inclusion on major cryptocurrency exchanges, investors were able to purchase the crypto after it launched.
Based on a starting price of $0.74, an investor could have purchased 1,351.35 ETH at the time of launch.
The $1,000 investment in Ethereum at launch would be worth $4,512,009.00 today based on a price of $3,338.89 at the time of writing.
At its all-time high of $4,815 set in November 2021, the $1,000 investment in Ethereum at the time of launch would have been worth $6,506,750.25.
Ethereum has traded between $1,988.12 and $4,092.28 over the last 52 weeks. There is no guarantee that the cryptocurrency will return to yearly or all-time highs.
While many missed out on investing in Ethereum in the early days, the exercise shows that sometimes investing a small amount in a high-conviction idea can have a huge payout in the future.
Ethereum is nearing its one-year high and could be headed towards its all-time high set on Nov. 16, 2021.

Gap Stock Soars On Better-Than-Expected Q3 Results, Raised FY Guidance: Details

American States Water Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AWR#NYSE">AWR</a>) announced that on November 15, 2024, its regulated water utility subsidiary, Golden State Water Company ("GSWC"), received a proposed decision from the assigned administrative law judge at the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") in connection with the pending general rate case proceeding that will determine new water rates for the years 2025 – 2027. A final decision by the CPUC is expected as soon as the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. When a final decision is issued by the CPUC, the new rates for 2025 will be effective January 1, 2025.
On July 12, 2024, GSWC and the Public Advocates Office ("Cal Advocates") at the CPUC filed a joint motion to adopt a settlement agreement between GSWC and Cal Advocates in the general rate case proceeding. The proposed decision approves and adopts the settlement agreement in its entirety. Among other things, the settlement agreement authorizes GSWC to invest approximately $573.1 million in capital infrastructure over the three-year cycle in order to continue to provide safe and reliable water utility service to its customers, which includes $17.7 million of advice letter capital investments to be filed for revenue recovery during the second and third year attrition increases when those projects are completed. In addition, the settlement agreement approves $58.2 million of advice letter capital investments already under construction beginning in 2023 also to be filed for revenue recovery during the second and third year attrition increases when those projects are completed. The settlement agreement also allows for additional increases in adopted revenues for 2026 and 2027 subject to an earnings test and changes to the forecasted inflationary index values. Actual increases for 2026 and 2027 will be determined at the time the filings to implement the new rate increases are approved by the CPUC, and will be calculated using inflationary index values at that time.
Furthermore, the proposed decision addressed the two remaining unresolved 2025 revenue requirement issues related to GSWC's sales forecast and supply mix. The proposed decision adopts GSWC's recommended sales forecast and adopts a supply mix that splits the difference between GSWC's and Cal Advocates' forecasts. The proposed decision also addressed the unresolved issues related to GSWC's requests for certain regulatory mechanisms. With regards to these requests, the proposed decision (i) rejects GSWC's request for continuation of a full sales and revenue decoupling mechanism and a full cost balancing account for water supply, and instead orders GSWC to transition to a modified rate adjustment mechanism (a Monterey-style WRAM or "M-WRAM") and an incremental cost balancing account for supply costs, (ii) rejects GSWC's sales reconciliation and supply mix adjustment mechanisms, and (iii) rejects GSWC's request to modify the existing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS") memorandum account to track carrying costs on capital investments needed to comply with the new PFAS maximum contaminant levels established by the Environmental Protection Agency, and instead orders GSWC to file for recovery of PFAS-related capital projects through a separate application or future general rate case. The proposed decision adopts GSWC's M-WRAM rate design proposal, authorizing GSWC to increase the revenue requirement in its service charges to between 45-48% depending on the ratemaking area representing approximately 65% of GSWC's fixed costs in aggregate. GSWC will file comments on the proposed decision by December 5, 2024. The proposed decision is scheduled to be voted on by the CPUC on December 19, 2024.

Elastic shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q2 financial results and issued FY25 guidance above estimates.

U.S. small-cap stocks are delivering a standout performance in November, aligning with a well-established seasonal trend that often paves the way <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/small-cap">for a strong December.</a>
Historically, small caps tend to excel in the final two months of the year, with November&#8217;s impressive gains often rolling into December as part of the so-called &#8220;Santa Rally.&#8221;
The Russell 2000 index, the leading benchmark for small-cap equities, has climbed an impressive 8% this November, on track for the second-best monthly performance of the year.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42123646/google-anthropic-deal-in-jeopardy-as-us-justice-department-looks-to-snap-online-search-monopoly">Google, Anthropic Deal In Jeopardy As Regulators Look To Break Up Search Monopoly</a>
Data spanning more than two decades shows that November delivered the highest average returns for small-cap stocks.
From the year 2000 onward, the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), has averaged a 2.6% gain in November, marking it as the strongest month of the year. 
What's even more striking is the reliability of this trend—79% of the time, the month ends with small-cap stocks in the green. 
The Russell 2000 has ended November in negative territory only four times:
<ul>
<li>A decline of 9.97% in 2000, </li>
<li>6.97% in 2007, </li>
<li>11.93% in 2008, and </li>
<li>4.33% in 2021.</li>
</ul>
In all other years, small-cap stocks have delivered gains during the month. The strongest rally occurred in November 2020, when the Russell soared 18.24% buoyed by the discovery of the Covid-19 vaccine.
Yet, history suggests this isn't the time to cash out just yet. Investors tempted to take profits after November's gains might reconsider, as December historically ranks as the second-best month for small caps. 
On average, the Russell 2000 rose 1.46% in December, with 67% of years showing positive performance. The combination of these two months often gives small-cap investors a powerful year-end boost.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Are Small Caps Outperforming in November 2024?</h2>
As of late November, the Russell 2000's 8% rally far surpasses the 4% rise of the S&amp;P 500, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>). This outperformance is being driven by three major catalysts:
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Federal Reserve Rate Cuts</h3>
The Federal Reserve has shifted into rate-cut mode, lowering rates by 25 basis points in November following a 50-basis-point reduction in September. Policymakers have signaled that further cuts are likely, albeit at a slower pace, as long as inflation continues to decelerate.
Lower interest rates disproportionately benefit small-cap companies, which rely more heavily on bank financing than their larger-cap counterparts. With borrowing costs falling, small businesses are better positioned to invest, grow, and improve profitability, giving them a significant tailwind compared to multinational firms.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Political Tailwinds From 2024 Elections</h3>
The outcome of the 2024 U.S. elections — a Republican trifecta (presidency, Senate and House of Representatives) — has fueled optimism among small-cap investors expecting the Trump administration to roll back regulations. 
Additionally, the potential reintroduction of trade tariffs could act as a buffer for small-cap businesses by reducing competition from international firms facing higher regulatory or import costs. Financial services and industrial stocks, heavily represented in small-cap indices, have been among the top beneficiaries of this shift.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Economic Resilience</h3>
The U.S. economy is showing remarkable resilience by delivering strong GDP growth rates. The Atlanta Fed's GDPNow estimate pegs fourth-quarter real GDP growth at 2.6%, following robust gains of 3.0% and 2.8% in the second and third quarters, respectively.
The labor market, a key indicator of economic health, also remains resilient. Despite disruptions from strikes and hurricanes affecting October payrolls data, jobless claims have fallen to their lowest levels in seven months in mid-November, indicating a tight labor market and sustained consumer confidence. These factors collectively underpin the performance of small-cap stocks, which are often more sensitive to domestic economic trends.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next For Small Caps?</h3>
With November's gains already in the books, historical patterns suggest that small caps could keep their momentum into December. Whether fueled by seasonal trends, macroeconomic tailwinds, or political optimism, small-cap stocks are positioning themselves as a standout opportunity for year-end trading.
