#EthereumTurns10
Ethereum officially turned 10 years old on July 30, 2025 — a decade since the launch of its Genesis Block in 2015 ([Bankless][1]). Its network hit a milestone: 10 years of uninterrupted uptime, marking unmatched reliability in crypto ([AInvest][2]). Celebrations included global events across 30+ cities, livestreams, grassroots meetups, and even a free NFT mint sponsored by ETHGlobal and community projects ([Cryptonews][3]).
The anniversary drove a surge in institutional adoption: corporate crypto treasury firms now hold over 1.3 million ETH (\~\$4B or \~1.09% of supply), with mega‑purchaser The Ether Machine alone buying 15,000 ETH (\~\$57M) ([TradingView][4]). ETH price rallied over 60% in July, with highs near \$3,800–3,900 before cooling slightly ([coingape.com][5]).
Meanwhile, the Ethereum Foundation unveiled a long‑term roadmap — the “Ethereum Lean Plan” — focusing on scaling, quantum‑resistant security, and maintaining 100% uptime for the future ([TradingView][6]).
— 🥂 A decade of innovation, global community impact, and growing institutional confidence in Ethereum's position as a foundational layer of programmable finance.
