Ethereum (ETH) History and Overview

Ethereum (ETH) History and Overview

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 USD conversion is $ 2,705.60.

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:

  • Ethereum is more than just a digital asset; it's a platform for decentralized applications.
  • In September 2022, Ethereum made a big change to work faster and be better for the environment. It switched from using a proof-of-work method to a proof-of-stake method.
  • As the go-to platform for innovations like DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs, Ethereum is shaping various industries and daily activities.

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 USD is $ 2,705.60.

Ethereum’s Struggle: Bearish or Bounce? 

Ethereum is consolidating near $2,620, struggling to gain momentum after last week’s heavy losses. The Bollinger Bands are tightening, indicating reduced volatility and a potential breakout soon. RSI at 42.62 suggests $ETH is nearing oversold territory, but no strong bullish divergence has formed yet. Support sits at $2,600-$2,620, and a breakdown could send $ETH to $2,500 or lower. A reclaim of $2,680-$2,700 is needed for bulls to regain control and target $2,800+. The Pectra upgrade and ETF inflows remain bullish catalysts, but market sentiment is weak. If $ETH fails to hold above $2,600, expect another leg down.

Ethereum’s Pectra Upgrade: The Real Game-Changer?


Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade, set for March 2025, could redefine the network’s efficiency, reducing gas fees and doubling transaction speeds. The upgrade introduces Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) that increase data availability, enhancing Layer-2 scalability & reducing congestion. Investor excitement is fueling record-high ETF inflows, with $3.17B added to spot $ETH ETFs in the past few weeks. On-chain analysts believe this could push $ETH past $4,100, as historical price trends show 20-35% rallies after major upgrades.  With Ethereum still leading DeFi (TVL: $57B), the question is: Will Pectra be enough to maintain its dominance, or will Solana and other L1s steal the spotlight?
