Unlike Bitcoin, which was designed primarily as a digital currency, Ethereum was created as a decentralized computing platform capable of executing smart contracts, self-executing agreements that run exactly as programmed without intermediaries. This smart contract capability has made Ethereum the foundation for an entire ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps), decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and layer-2 scaling solutions. ETH/USD represents the price of one Ether in US dollars. In September 2022, Ethereum completed &ldquo;The Merge,&rdquo; transitioning from energy-intensive proof-of-work mining to proof-of-stake consensus, reducing its energy consumption by over 99% and introducing staking yield as a new dimension of ETH&rsquo;s investment profile.</p>
