OverviewEthereum

Ethereum is a programmable blockchain. ETH is the native asset used to pay for transactions and to secure the network through staking.

How it works

Beyond being a currency, ETH powers smart contracts, DeFi, NFTs, and L2 networks. After 'The Merge', ETH is issued through proof-of-stake and a portion of fees is burned, making supply potentially deflationary.

Key factors

Network usage
Higher activity on Ethereum & L2s burns more ETH and supports demand.
Staking yield
Attractive staking returns reduce circulating supply.
ETF & institutional adoption
Spot ETH ETFs and corporate treasuries impact flows.
BTC correlation
ETH usually follows BTC's macro direction but with higher beta.
Upgrades & roadmap
Major upgrades (Dencun, etc.) can reprice the asset.

What to watch

  • ETH burn rate vs. issuance
  • Total Value Locked in DeFi
  • L2 transaction volume (Arbitrum, Base, Optimism)
  • Spot ETH ETF flows
  • Validator queue and staking ratio
