Upgrades, layer-2 activity and ETF flows give ETH its own rhythm.
ETH trades on network upgrades, layer-2 activity and fees, staking and ETF flows, and how much real on-chain usage is growing. The ETH/BTC ratio is a useful tell: when it strengthens, capital is often rotating into the broader alt market.
ETH's best month on record was Jan 2021 (+78%) and its worst was Mar 2018 (−54%).
What is Ethereum (ETH)?
Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source Layer 1 blockchain that supports smart contracts, enabling developers to build and deploy decentralized applications. Its native cryptocurrency, ether (ETH), is used to pay transaction fees and to secure the network through staking. Ethereum hosts a large ecosystem of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, tokens, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). In September 2022, the network transitioned from proof of work to proof of stake in an upgrade known as The Merge.
