Ethereum is the largest smart-contract platform and the home of most decentralized apps, stablecoins, and NFTs. Its native token, ether (ETH), is used to pay network fees and to secure the chain through staking. The ETH price reflects demand for blockspace, staking yields, the amount of ETH burned through fee mechanics, and broad crypto sentiment. Network upgrades and layer-2 activity also shape expectations. Like all crypto, ether trades around the clock on global exchanges. The price shown here is the live USD spot rate from the same source Coinvertor uses inside the app.
