$ETH ETH has value because it fuels the Ethereum network. Every interaction with a smart contract, issuance of an NFT, or DeFi exchange requires ETH as fuel. It's not just a currency—it's a utility. As more dApps emerge, the demand for ETH increases. Through staking, ETH also offers passive income and network security. The supply is deflationary due to EIP-1559, which burns a portion of gas fees. This makes ETH both useful and scarce.

💡 Utility + scarcity = long-term value.
