Ethereum’s price history reveals an eventful ride over the years. In ETH’s early days, the coin traded below $2.00 at times. The Ethereum price chart shows ETH’s price history on Cointelegraph’s Ethereum price index. ETH traded below $15.00 per coin in early 2017 and surged all the way up to around $1,400 per ETH in January of the following year. 

Following that high, ETH proceeded to fall all the way back down near and below $100 at times in the subsequent months and years. The asset eventually trended back upward, surpassing the $4,000 mark in 2021. However, the post-Merge Ethereum price dropped by 55% against BTC. 

Ethereum’s future after the Merge

Moreover, Vitalik Buterin claimed the Merge would follow another four developmental phases: The Surge, The Verge, The Purge and The Splurge. Nonetheless, it remains to be seen if upcoming updates would enable Ethereum to more effectively manage a wave of arising regulatory issues over digital assets and public blockchains.
