The Ethereum (ETH-USD) chart, explained
Ethereum is the leading smart-contract platform and the foundation for most of decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFTs. As the second-largest cryptocurrency, it tends to shadow Bitcoin but with extra altcoin kick.
Its chart mirrors Bitcoin's cycles with larger percentage swings, peaking near $4,800 in 2021. A landmark 2022 upgrade — 'the Merge' — shifted Ethereum to a far more energy-efficient proof-of-stake system.
