Ethereum's price history suggests that that crypto was worth significantly less in 2022 than during late 2021, although nowhere near the lowest price recorded. Much like Bitcoin (BTC), the price of ETH went up in 2021 but for different reasons altogether: Ethereum, for instance, hit the news when a digital art piece was sold as the world’s most expensive NFT for over 38,000 ETH - or 69.3 million U.S. dollars. Unlike Bitcoin - of which the price growth was fueled by the IPO of the U.S.’ biggest crypto trader Coinbase - the rally on Ethereum came from technological developments that caused much excitement among traders. First, the so-called “Berlin update” rolled out on the Ethereum network in April 2021, an update which would eventually lead to the Ethereum Merge in 2022 and reduced ETH gas prices - or reduced transaction fees. The collapse of FTX in late 2022, however, changed much for the cryptocurrency. As of May 4, 2025, Ethereum was worth 1,808.59 U.S. dollars - significantly less than the 4,400 U.S. dollars by the end of 2021. Ethereum’s future and the DeFi industry Price developments on Ethereum are difficult to predict, but cannot be seen without the world of DeFi - or Decentralized Finance. This industry used technology to remove intermediaries between parties in a financial transaction. One example includes crypto wallets such as Coinbase Wallet that grew in popularity recently, with other examples including smart contractor Uniswap, Maker (responsible for stablecoin DAI), moneylender Dharma and market protocol Compound. Ethereum’s future developments are tied with this industry: Unlike Bitcoin and Ripple, Ethereum is technically not a currency but an open-source software platform for blockchain applications - with Ether being the cryptocurrency that is used inside the Ethereum network. Essentially, Ethereum facilitates DeFi - meaning that if DeFi does well, so does Ethereum. NFTs: the most well-known application of Ethereum NFTs or non-fungible tokens grew nearly ten-fold between 2018 and 2020, as can be seen in the market cap of NFTs worldwide. These digital blockchain assets can essentially function as a unique code connected to a digital file, allowing to distinguish the original file from any potential copies. This application is especially prominent in crypto art, although there are other applications: gaming, sports and collectibles are other segments where NFT sales occur.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have captured the imagination of technologists, financiers, and economists. Digital currencies are only one application of the underlying blockchain technology. Like its predecessor, Bitcoin, the Ethereum blockchain can be described as an immutable distributed ledger. However, creator Vitalik Buterin also extended the set of capabilities by including a virtual machine that can execute arbitrary code stored on the blockchain as smart contracts.

Both Bitcoin and Ethereum are essentially OLTP databases, and provide little in the way of OLAP (analytics) functionality. However the Ethereum dataset is notably distinct from the Bitcoin dataset:

• The Ethereum blockchain has as its primary unit of value Ether, while the Bitcoin blockchain has Bitcoin. However, the majority of value transfer on the Ethereum blockchain is composed of so-called tokens. Tokens are created and managed by smart contracts.

• Ether value transfers are precise and direct, resembling accounting ledger debits and credits. This is in contrast to the Bitcoin value transfer mechanism, for which it can be difficult to determine the balance of a given wallet address.

• Addresses can be not only wallets that hold balances, but can also contain smart contract bytecode that allows the programmatic creation of agreements and automatic triggering of their execution. An aggregate of coordinated smart contracts could be used to build a decentralized autonomous organization.

In the last few days, I have been hearing a lot of buzz around cryptocurrencies. Things like Block chain, Bitcoin, Bitcoin cash, Ethereum, Ripple etc are constantly coming in the news articles I read. So I wanted to understand more about it and this post helped me get started. Once the basics are done, the DS guy sleeping inside me (always lazy.!) woke up and started raising questions like

1. How many such cryptocurrencies are there and what are their prices and valuations?
2. Why is there a sudden surge in the interest in recent days? Is it due to the increase in the price in the last few days? etc.

For getting answers to all these questions (and if possible to predict the future prices ;)), I started getting the data from coinmarketcap about the cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin dominance steadily declined in April 2024 to below ** percent, amid rumors of central banks halting or potentially lowering interest rates in the future. Within the crypto world, this so-called "dominance" ratio is one of the oldest and most investigated metrics available. It measures the coin's market cap relative to the overall crypto market — effectively showing how strong Bitcoin compared to all the other cryptocurrencies that are not BTC, called "altcoins". Why dominance matters is because market caps of any crypto can change relatively quickly, either due to sudden price changes or a change of recorded trading volume. Essentially, the figure somewhat resembles a trading sentiment, revealing whether Bitcoin investors are responding to certain events or whether Bitcoin is losing out on functions offered by, for example, stablecoins or NFT tokens. "Dominance" criticism: Ethereum and stablecoin The interpretation of the Bitcoin metric is not without its criticism. When first conceived, Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency to be created and had a substantial market share within all cryptocurrencies? The overall share of stablecoins, such as Tether, as well as Ethereum increasingly start to resemble that of Bitcoin, however. Some analysts argue against this comparison. For one, they point towards the large influence of trading activity between Bitcoin and Ethereum in the dominance metric. Second, they argue that stablecoins can be traded in for Bitcoin and Ethereum, essentially showing how much investors are willing to engage with "regular" cryptocurrency. A rally around Bitcoin in late 2023? By December 2023, the Bitcoin price reached roughly 41,000 U.S. dollars — the first time in 20 months such a value was reached. A weaker U.S. dollar, speculation on decreasing interest rates, and a potential Bitcoin ETF approval are believed to be at the heart of this price increase. Whether this will hold in 2024 is unclear: The monthly interest rate from the U.S. Fed is speculated to decrease in 2024, despite a vow of "higher for longer". In December 2023, the thought of decreasing interest rates and the potential of a Bitcoin ETF fuelled market sentiment towards riskier assets.

The CAPIVIX Index gives crypto traders something traditional markets have long relied on - a clear measure of expected market volatility. Think of it as the VIX for Bitcoin and Ethereum, showing what the market anticipates for price swings over the next 30 days.

This crypto volatility index tracks market sentiment for BTC/USD and ETH/USD pairs by analyzing options data from major derivatives exchanges. When CAPIVIX rises, it signals increased uncertainty and potential turbulence ahead. When it falls, markets are expecting calmer conditions.

What makes CAPIVIX valuable is its methodology - we've adapted the widely-trusted VIX calculation approach to work specifically with cryptocurrency options. This gives you a standardized way to gauge market anxiety or confidence across different market conditions.

The index updates continuously throughout trading hours, incorporating real-time options pricing to reflect the market's evolving risk perception. For traders and investors looking to understand market sentiment beyond price movements alone, CAPIVIX provides that crucial additional dimension of market intelligence.

Prices for BCHETH Bitcoin Cash Ether including live quotes, historical charts and news. BCHETH Bitcoin Cash Ether was last updated by Trading Economics this July 4 of 2025.

Cryptocurrency Market size was valued at around USD 6.78 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 15.03 billion by 2030 along with a CAGR of around 14.19%.

The Ethereum market, encompassing exchange, purchase, mining, and transaction/investment applications, is experiencing robust growth. While precise market sizing data was not provided, industry analysis suggests a substantial market value, potentially exceeding $100 billion in 2025, considering the significant adoption of Ethereum in DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise blockchain solutions. A Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of at least 20% is plausible through 2033, driven by several key factors. Increased institutional investment, the burgeoning metaverse and NFT markets, and the expanding utility of Ethereum in decentralized applications (dApps) fuel this expansion. The growing demand for scalability solutions, such as layer-2 scaling technologies and sharding, is also a significant driver. However, regulatory uncertainty, competition from emerging blockchain platforms, and the environmental concerns related to energy consumption in mining pose potential restraints to growth. Segment analysis reveals that the transaction and investment applications currently dominate the market share, although the relative proportions of exchange, purchase and mining are expected to evolve with technological advancements and changing regulatory landscapes. Geographically, North America and Asia-Pacific, particularly the United States and China, are expected to lead the market due to high levels of technological adoption and venture capital investment. However, emerging economies in other regions are likely to show strong growth as blockchain technology adoption expands. The competitive landscape is characterized by a mix of established players and emerging entrants. Major exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and Huobi play a significant role in trading volume, while companies like MoonPay focus on simplifying cryptocurrency purchasing. Saxo Bank and eToro represent the traditional finance sector's foray into crypto, signaling broader mainstream adoption. The market is witnessing increased consolidation and partnerships, reflecting a trend toward collaboration and enhanced user experiences. Future growth will hinge upon successful navigation of regulatory challenges, continued technological innovation, and the maturation of the overall crypto ecosystem. The increasing focus on sustainable mining practices and the development of more efficient consensus mechanisms will also influence the long-term trajectory of the Ethereum market.

The implementation of statistical techniques in on-line surveillance of financial markets has been frequently studied more recently. As a novel approach, statistical control charts which are famous tools for monitoring industrial processes, have been applied in various financial applications in the last three decades. The aim of this study is to propose a novel application of control charts called profile monitoring in the surveillance of the cryptocurrency markets. In this way, a new control chart is proposed to monitor the price variation of a pair of two most famous cryptocurrencies i.e., Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Parameter estimation, tuning and sensitivity analysis are conducted assuming that the random explanatory variable follows a symmetric normal distribution. The triggered signals from the proposed method are interpreted to convert the BTC and ETH at proper times to increase their total value. Hence, the proposed method could be considered a financial indicator so that its signal can lead to a tangible increase of the pair of assets. The performance of the proposed method is investigated through different parameter adjustments and compared with some common technical indicators under a real data set. The results show the acceptable and superior performance of the proposed method.

I started of with Bitcoin and there are quite a few parameters which affect the price of Bitcoin. Thanks to Blockchain Info, I was able to get quite a few parameters on once in two day basis.

This will help understand the other factors related to Bitcoin price and also help one make future predictions in a better way than just using the historical price.

At the end of March 2025, the Ethereum cryptocurrency had been processed nearly ** million times on-chain that month. This was about ***** times that of the more commonly known rival Bitcoin, which saw a total of ** million transactions that month. Other leading cryptocurrencies also saw significantly less transaction activity. What kind of transactions were these? Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies which owe their credibility to their technology rather than a central bank. Many of the transactions in this statistic involve cryptocurrency exchanges which exchange these coins for other currencies, including traditional currencies such as U.S. dollars or euros. In selected countries, Bitcoin ATMs also dispense the local currency in exchange for Bitcoin. However, few retailers accept that or any other cryptocurrency on a large scale. Cryptocurrency as an investment Many cryptocurrency enthusiasts point to the high market capitalization of their favorite cryptocurrencies. Moreover, the currency price is an important factor. The price volatility of Bitcoin and others attracts investors, hoping to buy low and sell high.

The cryptocurrency market, valued at $44.29 billion in 2025, is projected to experience robust growth, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.77% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is driven by several key factors. Increasing institutional adoption, fueled by the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies as an asset class and the development of sophisticated financial instruments like Bitcoin ETFs, is significantly impacting market growth. Furthermore, technological advancements, including the rise of layer-2 scaling solutions and improvements in blockchain technology, are enhancing transaction speeds and reducing costs, making cryptocurrencies more accessible and user-friendly. The expanding DeFi (Decentralized Finance) ecosystem, offering innovative financial services beyond traditional banking, also contributes substantially to market growth. Regulatory clarity, while still evolving, is expected to further encourage institutional investment and consumer confidence, fostering market expansion. Despite the positive outlook, the cryptocurrency market faces challenges. Price volatility remains a significant concern for investors, potentially deterring some from entering the market. Regulatory uncertainty in various jurisdictions creates an unpredictable operating environment for businesses and investors. The environmental impact of energy-intensive proof-of-work consensus mechanisms used by some cryptocurrencies is another factor that requires attention. Security concerns, including the risk of hacking and scams, continue to pose a threat to market confidence and require ongoing vigilance from both users and exchanges. Despite these constraints, the long-term prospects for the cryptocurrency market remain positive, driven by underlying technological innovation and growing global adoption.
