$BTC

The $ETH or Ethereum currency is the second largest digital currency after Bitcoin, but it differs from it in terms of goals and uses. The Ethereum network was launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, with the aim of creating a decentralized platform that enables developers to build smart contracts without the need for intermediaries. This technology has made Ethereum the backbone of many decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFTs projects. With ongoing updates to the network, especially the transition to Ethereum 2.0 and proof-of-stake (PoS) technology, $ETH has become more energy-efficient and faster in transaction execution. Many believe that the future of Web 3.0 heavily relies on this powerful network, making Ethereum one of the essential digital assets to watch closely.
