Rank 2 by market cap
A network where a transfer is just one special case: nodes execute programs recorded on chain, and the result becomes part of the shared state. Those programs are smart contracts, and the environment that runs them — the Ethereum Virtual Machine — has had its instruction set copied by dozens of other chains. Bookkeeping uses accounts with balances rather than Bitcoin's unspent outputs.

Ethereum is ranked #2 by market capitalisation, at 305.51B $. Market capitalisation is price multiplied by circulating supply, so it moves with both — a coin can climb the ranking without its price rising, simply by issuing more.
Over the last twelve months the price of ETH fell by 34.6 %. That is the change of the quote itself and says nothing about what comes next: crypto drawdowns of tens of percent within a year are ordinary, not exceptional.
Ethereum is the native coin of its own blockchain: transaction fees in that network are paid in it, and its issuance is set by the protocol rather than by a contract on someone else's chain.
Computation is paid for in gas, denominated in ETH: what an operation costs depends on its complexity, not on the sum being moved. Part of each fee is burned, part goes to whoever proposed the block. Since 2022 consensus runs on proof of stake — validators post a deposit to propose blocks, and losing that deposit is the penalty for misbehaviour.
Most of decentralised finance, most non-fungible tokens and most dollar tokens grew on this platform: one shared issuance standard made every new asset compatible with wallets and exchanges already written. Expensive computation has been pushed out to second-layer networks that execute off-chain and post only proofs back to the base chain.
EVM compatibility became the industry default: a contract written for it moves to rival chains with little or no rewriting.

We compute market cap from circulating supply, so its date matters as much as the price.
This asset declares no maximum supply, so it has no circulating share to speak of.
Computed by us from our own history. This section shows no buy/sell ratings — these are values, not verdicts.
