It seems that in order to coincide with this significant 10th anniversary, ETH is pushing back towards $4000.
From the mainnet launch on July 30, 2015, to today in 2025, over the past ten years, it has not only witnessed the rise and fall of the entire blockchain industry but has also built an unprecedented 'world computer' through continuous upgrades and consensus. Once considered unpromising, smart contracts have now become the most universal operating system in the Web3 world. ETH has also grown from a few cents during its crowdfunding to a large asset with a market value exceeding $300 billion.
Meanwhile, the Ethereum Foundation has also completed an important 'blood transfusion'. Changes are happening internally and externally. Over the past year, a number of companies with traditional financial backgrounds have successively bought ETH, with institutions like SharpLink, BTCS, and BMNR announcing that they will include ETH in their strategic asset reserves.
All these changes are happening in this special year: 2025, marking ten years since the Ethereum mainnet launched.
This decade is the most colorful chapter in the history of blockchain. From a white paper to a global ecosystem worth hundreds of billions of dollars; from the founding team of 'The Eight Kings' to breaking through as an isolated island amidst the siege of 'Ethereum killers'; from PoW to PoS, from a technical laboratory to public infrastructure, Ethereum has completed its first cycle.
