Ether (ETH) price surged by 6.2% from Nov. 3 to Nov. 5, but the altcoin faces difficulty in breaking the $1,900 resistance. Despite the current bullish trend, Ether's 17% return over the last 30 days falls short of Bitcoin's (BTC) impressive 27% gain during the same period.
Analysts attribute some of Ether’s underperformance to uncertainty surrounding Consensys, a key player in the Ethereum ecosystem. Former employees have filed a lawsuit against the company and its co-founder, Joseph Lubin. Over two dozen shareholders of the Swiss-based holding company, Consensys AG, claim that Lubin, who is also a co-founder of Ethereum, violated a "no-dilution promise" made in 2015.
