Ethereum Classic in the four-year cycle
Ethereum Classic set its all-time high on 6 May 2021, in the cycle that peaked in 2021, and has not beaten it in the current cycle that began with the Bitcoin halving of 20 Apr 2024. That record is now 5.5 years old. Only 55 of 112 tracked coins have set a new all-time high since that halving.
Ethereum Classic volatility and trading volume
A typical day moves ETC about ±2.3%, calmer than the median coin's ±3.3%, so a one-day swing beyond ±4.5% would be unusual for it. Ethereum Classic traded $34.6M in the last 24 hours, 2.9% of its $1.20B market cap.
About Ethereum Classic
Ethereum Classic is the original Ethereum chain, which kept running unchanged when Ethereum hard-forked after the 2016 DAO hack. Unlike Ethereum it still uses proof-of-work mining.
What moves the Ethereum Classic price
ETC follows Ethereum and the wider market with larger swings, and gets occasional attention as a proof-of-work alternative to Ethereum. Its trading is thinner than the large caps.
