Ethereum $ETH celebrates its 10th anniversary, evolving from a scrappy experiment to a critical backbone for global finance. Initially launched as a bare-bones network by Vitalik Buterin and a small team, Ethereum introduced programmable money and decentralized applications. Today, major institutions like BlackRock and Robinhood use Ethereum for stablecoins, tokenized stocks, and global payments. Despite challenges, Ethereum remains the trusted network for financial innovation, aiming to scale while preserving decentralization and security.#CreatorPad
