Ethereum price history
When Ethereum’s initial coin offering (ICO) launched in 2014, it cost just 31 cents per share. Since then, its value has climbed by more than 60,000%.
Looking at the past five years (2020-2025), Ethereum has risen by a solid 46%. But that figure doesn’t tell the whole story. Ethereum has been subject to extreme volatility, peaking at nearly $5,000 in August 2025.
