What Is Ethereum (ETH)?
Crypto10 min

What Is Ethereum (ETH)?

Ethereum is a foundational blockchain platform that enables the creation of decentralized applications (dApps) through self-executing smart contracts. Its native cryptocurrency, ETH, powers transactions and network fees. By introducing programmability, Ethereum expanded blockchain use far beyond payments, giving rise to major ecosystems in DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs. Its transition to Proof of Stake (The Merge) drastically improved efficiency. Despite challenges like scalability and volatility, Ethereum's first-mover advantage, robust developer community, and continuous innovation keep it at the forefront of the Web3 revolution.

Crypto vs. tariffs: Will Trump’s trade war fuel Bitcoin?

Trump’s sweeping tariffs triggered sharp losses across stocks and cryptocurrencies as investors weighed a stronger dollar, higher inflation, disrupted trade and changing interest-rate expectations. Longer term, weaker confidence in fiat currencies, monetary easing or reserve diversification could support Bitcoin’s appeal. The outcome depends on policy implementation, global retaliation, regulation and shifting capital flows.
