Ethereum is a decentralized software platform that uses blockchain technology, commonly referred to as its native cryptocurrency, Ether or Ethereum crypto. Anyone can access and utilize secure digital technology using Ethereum. The live Ethereum to GBP conversion is £ 2,731.78.
With the ETH crypto token, users can pay for work that helps support the Ethereum blockchain. They can also use it to buy services, physical items, or trade it for regular money. Developers like to use ETH to make new and secure technology that makes our everyday lives better.
Bitcoin has a limit of 21 million coins, but Ethereum initially didn't have a maximum supply. Vitalik Buterin decided on this to make a network with endless coins, providing more room for growth and flexibility. Currenlty, the amount of eth in circulating supply is 120.26M coins.
Ethereum first shared its coins during a big sale in 2015, creating about 72 million coins right at the start. People spent these coins in various ways, such as funding Ethereum's development and rewarding the miners who verify transactions.
Ethereum is interesting because developers can make apps which can imrpove various industries. It also uses smart contracts, which are essential for creating decentralized apps (dApps) that people use in IT and finance.
Key points to remember:
How Does Ethereum Work?
Vitalik Buterin created Ethereum with the help of Joe Lubin. They first shared their detailed plans in 2014, and Ethereum was up and running in 2015. It differs from Bitcoin because it is built to be flexible and handle growth. As such it is the ideal platform for all kinds of decentralized apps (dApps).
Proof-of-Stake Mechanism
This system uses complex algorithms to agree on network transactions and keep everything secure. To be a validator and help create and check blocks, users need to stake ETH. If they do something wrong, there are penalties to keep everyone honest and the network safe.
Wallets and Transactions
Digital wallets represent ether ownership. Users have private keys (not the currency itself) which they need to make transactions on the Ethereum network.
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)
Thanks to Ethereum’s smart contracts, we have DAOs. These offer a clear and democratic way to make decisions in decentralized networks.
The current price of 1 ETH in GBP is £ 2,731.78.

Portfolio Change❗: Why we allocated to SUI in our portfolio
$SUI is again looking interesting and is looking to hit support on the trendline it has been building on the SUI/$BTC chart, as can be seen on the attached image. Because of this we have shifted a part of our portfolio to SUI to capitalize on this trend line. We expect this popular altcoin to also outperform $ETH as long as SUI is keeping this trendline intact. 🚀
Together with strong technicals we also believe in the fundamentals of SUI. The network is developing quick adoption and is growing to be one of the most used altcoin networks in the blockchain space. As an example, SUI already has over 730.000 daily active users on the network
🤯. That is more than Ethereum, excluding layer-2 networks on ETH.
Due to this massive adoption we can see SUI entering the top 10 list of biggest cryptocurrencies as it is outperforming many altcoins on key metrics such as network usage. These are key drivers for pushing the price towards new all time highs.
Ethereum Faces Bearish Reversal Below $3,600
Ethereum $ETH sruggled to reclaim $3,600, closing the week at $3,280, down 8%. Support near $3,000 is fragile, with a possible dip to $2,850 if sellers dominate. The failed breakout above $4,000 hints at near-term consolidation, but strong fundamentals in DeFi provide a bullish backdrop. A rebound above $3,576 resistance could restore momentum, targeting $4,094 in Q1 2025. Ethereum’s long-term outlook remains robust, supported by growing institutional adoption and developer activity. Short-term traders should remain cautious but anticipate higher volatility ahead.
