$ETH Ethereum, which was launched in 2015, is the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization after Bitcoin. However, unlike Bitcoin, it was not created with the intention of being digital money. The original idea of the founders was to create a new global and decentralized computing platform that would take the security and transparency of blockchains and extend these features to a wide range of applications.

Today, countless applications run on the Ethereum blockchain, from financial tools and games to complex databases. Furthermore, its future potential is only limited by the imagination of developers. In the words of the nonprofit organization Ethereum Foundation: "Ethereum can be used to code, decentralize, secure, and trade almost anything."
