#EthereumTurns10

Ethereum officially turned ten years old on July 30, 2025, marking a decade since the launch of its Genesis block on July 30, 2015.

What Made the Anniversary Special

A global livestream event took place at 14:30 UTC on July 30, with key figures like Vitalik Buterin, Joseph Lubin, and Tim Beiko sharing reflections on Ethereum’s journey and future.

The Ethereum Foundation launched a commemorative “Ethereum Torch” NFT, which was burned on the anniversary day; users could mint a free collectible version within a 24‑hour window post-event.

Over 100 celebratory events were held globally by ETHGlobal and community organizers—including Singapore, Dubai, New York, Shenzhen, and San Francisco—many funded via microgrants through the Foundation’s Ecosystem Support Program.

Market Momentum

ETH experienced a massive price rally in July leading up to its 10th–year milestone, surging 50–60 percent, nearing the $4,000 mark at its peak .
