What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, currently valued at approximately $233 billion. Unlike many other cryptocurrencies, Ethereum is not just digital money; it’s a decentralized computing platform. Developers can build and run apps on it without the need for a central authority like a bank or company.
The Ethereum network, powered by its native token ETH, allows users to engage in activities such as borrowing, lending, investing, trading, and more.
Ethereum Price History
Ethereum’s initial coin offering (ICO) started in 2014 at just 31 cents per share. Since then, its value has skyrocketed over 60,000%. While it saw respectable growth of 46% over the past five years (2020-2025), it has also experienced significant volatility, reaching a peak of nearly $5,000 in August 2025.
