$ETH

Let's take a look back at the recent past, specifically in 2015, when the Ethereum network was born and its own cryptocurrency – Ether ($ETH) emerged. Conceived by Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum represented something more than just a digital currency. Its goal was to become a decentralized global computer system capable of executing smart contracts – self-executing agreements written on the blockchain.

The initial coin offering (ICO) of Ethereum in 2014 generated massive interest, raising significant funds for the development of the platform. Since its launch, ETH has become not only the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization but also the fuel for thousands of decentralized applications (dApps) and the foundation for a revolution in decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFT). The journey of ETH has been marked by impressive growth and technological achievements, solidifying its place in the history of digital assets.
