About Ethereum
Ethereum (ETH) took Bitcoin's idea of an open ledger and made it programmable. Proposed by Vitalik Buterin in 2013 and live since 2015, it lets developers deploy self-executing "smart contracts" — the code behind most stablecoins, decentralized exchanges, lending markets and NFTs. If Bitcoin is digital money, Ethereum is closer to digital infrastructure.
Its native asset, ether, pays the network's "gas" fees and secures the chain. In 2022 Ethereum moved from mining to proof-of-stake, slashing its energy use and letting holders stake ETH to help validate transactions for rewards. Because a share of fees is burned, ether's net supply can even shrink when the network is busy.
For the money layer specifically, Ethereum matters because it is where most dollar stablecoins live and move. Its value tracks how much the network is actually used, which also makes it competitive and volatile — rival chains and its own layer-2 networks keep shifting where activity, and value, accrue. Prices are shown here in your currency; none of this is advice.
The story
Ether is a utility asset, not a scarce one: it fuels computation, secures a proof-of-stake network through staking, and has part of its fee revenue burned. Ethereum hosts the bulk of DeFi, stablecoins and NFTs, with a growing layer-2 ecosystem settling back to it for security.
The context
The case for ETH is demand, not a supply cap — it is a bet that people keep building and transacting on Ethereum. That exposes it to real competition from other layer-1s and to value leaking toward layer-2s, while staking adds both yield and lock-up and technical risk. Expect volatility.
Staking inflows and the validator queue, how much activity layer-2s pull off the base chain, ETF flows, and the pace of protocol upgrades. Net issuance swings between inflationary and deflationary with network demand.

Ethereum FAQ
What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is a decentralised, programmable blockchain that runs smart contracts. Its native asset, ether (ETH), pays transaction fees and secures the network through staking.
What is the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum?
Bitcoin is primarily designed as sound, fixed-supply money. Ethereum is a general-purpose platform for smart contracts and applications, so ether’s value is tied to network usage rather than a fixed supply cap.
What was “The Merge”?
In 2022 Ethereum switched from energy-intensive proof-of-work mining to proof-of-stake, cutting its energy consumption dramatically and enabling staking.
What is gas on Ethereum?
Gas is the fee paid in ether to execute transactions and smart contracts. Fees rise when the network is busy and fall when demand is low.
Does Ethereum have a maximum supply?
No. Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum has no fixed cap. Issuance rewards stakers, while a portion of fees is burned, so net supply can rise or fall depending on activity.
Where does Crypto Ruble Coins’s Ethereum price come from?
The live price, 24-hour change and volume come from Binance market data. Market cap is the live price multiplied by a curated circulating-supply figure.
