$ETH — @Ethereum native token — is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, powering the most widely used smart contract blockchain.
It’s used for:
Gas fees to run decentralized apps (dApps) and transactions.
Staking to secure the network under Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake consensus.
DeFi, NFTs, and Layer-2 scaling — making it a key driver in Web3 innovation.
Price action often tracks Bitcoin’s trend but reacts more sharply to ecosystem upgrades like EIP-4844 (proto-danksharding) and Layer-2 adoption.
