Ethereum (ETH) is the world's leading decentralized blockchain platform, proposed by Vitalik Buterin in 2013 and launched in 2015. ETH is the native cryptocurrency used to pay for transaction fees (gas) and to execute smart contracts (smart contracts). Ethereum supports decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi, NFT, Layer-2 scaling. After The Merge in 2022, it transitioned to Proof-of-Stake, making the network more energy-efficient. By December 2025, the ETH price is expected to be around $2,900-$3,000, with the second-largest market capitalization after Bitcoin, despite market volatility with ETF outflows. Upgrades like Fusaka improve scalability, promising a bright future with institutional adoption.
