Ethereum is the backbone of the on-chain economy. It is a programmable settlement layer where smart contracts enable lending, trading, stablecoins, NFTs, and real-world assets without intermediaries. ETH functions as fuel, collateral, and security for the network, with staking and fee burning directly tying usage to scarcity. After moving to Proof of Stake, issuance dropped significantly, and during high activity ETH can become deflationary.
Layer 2 rollups scale execution while Ethereum remains the final settlement and security layer, strengthening—not weakening—ETH’s role. In markets, ETH behaves like a core crypto asset rather than a speculative altcoin, favored by institutions for liquidity and reliability. It moves with structure, respects liquidity, and rewards patience. Ethereum no longer relies on hype; it continues to quietly process value and anchor the future of decentralized finance.
