per coinEther (ETH) is the native asset of Ethereum, the largest smart-contract platform. It’s used to pay for transactions and can be staked to help secure the network. This page shows its live price in U.S. dollars per coin.
What moves the ether price?
Ether is driven by demand to use and stake on the Ethereum network, the same macro-liquidity forces that move all crypto, network upgrades that change supply and fees, and broad sentiment. When on-chain activity is high, more ether is spent on fees and a portion is removed from supply, which can tighten the market.
Bitcoin vs. Ethereum
Bitcoin is designed primarily as digital money with a fixed supply. Ethereum is a programmable platform — its value is tied to demand for the applications, tokens, and services built on it. They often move together with the market but for different underlying reasons.
