Ten years ago, Ethereum launched with a bold vision:
Not just digital money… but a global computer for the decentralized world.
Today, that vision has turned into a trillion-dollar ecosystem.
Let’s celebrate Ethereum’s journey — and why it still matters for the future of crypto.
⛓️ What Is Ethereum?
Ethereum, launched in July 2015, was created by Vitalik Buterin and other early visionaries to enable more than just peer-to-peer payments.
It brought smart contracts, DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and layer-2 innovation to life.

Even Bitcoin maxis respect Ethereum’s role in expanding what crypto can do.
🧠 What Traders & Investors Should Know:
