About Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum (ETH) was proposed in late 2013 by then 19-year-old Vitalik Buterin and went live on July 30, 2015 after a successful crowdfunding round in 2014. Unlike Bitcoin's focus on monetary settlement, Ethereum was built as a programmable smart-contract platform that lets developers deploy decentralized applications. ETH is the native asset used to pay for execution costs (gas) and to secure the network. By market cap, Ethereum is consistently the second-largest cryptocurrency and is the settlement layer for the majority of stablecoin volume, DeFi total value locked, and NFT activity.
Ethereum Technology
Ethereum transitioned from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake on September 15, 2022 in an event called The Merge, cutting network energy consumption by approximately 99.95%. Validators stake 32 ETH each to participate in block production. The Shanghai upgrade enabled withdrawals in April 2023, and Dencun (March 2024) introduced proto-danksharding (EIP-4844 blob transactions) which dramatically reduced fees on Layer 2 rollups like Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and zkSync. EIP-1559 burns base fees, making ETH deflationary in periods of high network activity.
What Moves the ETH Price
ETH trades with high correlation to BTC (~0.85 30-day rolling) but typically exhibits a higher beta — meaning it amplifies BTC moves both up and down. Daily futures volume on Binance and CME often exceeds $15 billion. Key fundamental drivers include Layer 2 adoption, staking yield (~3-5% APR), gas-fee burn rate, DeFi total value locked, and institutional flows from ETH spot ETFs approved in mid-2024. Traders also watch the ETH/BTC ratio as a risk-on rotation gauge.

How is Ethereum different from Bitcoin?

Can I earn passive income holding ETH?
+
Yes. By staking ETH directly (32 ETH minimum) or via liquid-staking protocols like Lido or Rocket Pool, holders earn approximately 3-5% APR. Centralized exchanges also offer one-click staking. Note that smart-contract and slashing risks apply to liquid staking.
What is the relationship between ETH and Layer 2 networks?
+
Layer 2 rollups (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync) execute transactions off-chain and post compressed proofs back to Ethereum. They use ETH for gas fees and inherit Ethereum's security, which means more L2 activity translates into more ETH burned and more demand for L1 block space.
