Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. In other words, it is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and applications without central authority control. Unlike Bitcoin, which primarily functions as digital currency, Ethereum operates as a programmable global computer where developers can create any type of decentralized service.   The platform hosts over $14 billion in DeFi applications with hundreds of thousands of active users across financial protocols, NFT marketplaces, and gaming platforms. Its transition to Proof of Stake in September 2022 reduced energy consumption by over 99%, addressing environmental concerns while strengthening network security.  The network operates through thousands of independent validator nodes that process transactions and execute smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Smart contracts are self-executing programs written in Solidity that automatically carry out agreements when conditions are met, eliminating intermediaries like banks or brokers.   Validators stake ETH as collateral to propose and validate blocks, earning rewards for honest participation while facing penalties for malicious behavior. The EIP-1559 upgrade introduced a dynamic base fee mechanism that burns ETH with each transaction, creating deflationary pressure during high network activity when more ETH is burned than issued to validators.  Vitalik Buterin proposed Ethereum in 2013, but seven co-founders helped build it, including Gavin Wood who created Solidity and the EVM technical specification, and Joseph Lubin who founded ConsenSys. The project launched in July 2015 after raising over $18 million through crowdfunding, quickly becoming the largest blockchain developer community. Major milestones include the 2020 Beacon Chain launch, the 2021 London hard fork implementing fee burning, and the 2022 Merge to Proof of Stake.   Ether (ETH) serves multiple functions: paying transaction fees (gas), staking to secure the network and earn 3-5% annual yields, serving as collateral in DeFi protocols, and purchasing NFTs and digital assets. The asset is increasingly adopted by traditional institutions, with publicly traded companies adding ETH to corporate treasuries to generate staking yields while maintaining blockchain exposure, and in 2024, the SEC approved spot Ethereum ETFs, allowing traditional investors to gain exposure through conventional brokerage accounts.  Ethereum's roadmap focuses on dramatically increasing transaction capacity to over 100,000 per second, reducing confirmation times, and enhancing decentralization while maintaining security against future threats like quantum computing.

Ethereum

Ethereum is drawing significant attention amid price fluctuations around the $2,000 level, sparking debate between those accumulating the dip and others fearing a 'dead cat bounce.' This ongoing conversation is underpinned by news of increasing institutional utility and adoption, including JPMorgan's blockchain initiatives and Google's new AI communication platform leveraging Ethereum's enhanced scalability and lower transaction fees.

A group of small businesses reportedly sued Donald Trump over the new tariffs on Monday, alleging that the U.S. president used his powers unconditionally and that his decision could destroy local businesses.According to a CNBC&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/14/us-businesses-sue-to-block-trump-tariffs-say-trade-deficits-are-not-an-emergency.html">report</a>, five small businesses represented by Liberty Justice Center, a nonprofit legal aid group, filed the lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade.Trump announced a base 10% tariff on all trading partners and a higher rate on several countries on April 2, causing shockwaves across global markets.His moves last week to pause specific tariffs for 90 days and lower the rate on smartphones, computers, and electronics — while temporarily relieving some industries — have frustrated businesses and investors looking for policy consistency.So far, several companies, including larger retail firms like Walmart and Nike, have called out a potential hit to their business, while scores of firms are scrambling to reconfigure their supply chain and import strategy.A staggering 145% import tariff on China, a key importer of gadgets such as the Apple iPhone and electronic parts for industrial machines to automobiles, is particularly concerning.In their lawsuit, the defendants said that Trump has illegally usurped Congress' power to levy tariffs by claiming that trade deficits with other countries constitute an emergency.They argued that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ('IEEPA'), the statute the President invokes, does not authorize him to issue unilateral, worldwide tariffs.Furthermore, his claim that trade deficits with nations are an emergency "is a figment of his own imagination."The plaintiffs include VOS Selections, which imports and distributes small-production wines and spirits; FishUSA, a retail and wholesale e-commerce business for sportfishing tackle; and Genova Pipe, which makes plastic pipes and irrigation equipment.Others are MicroKits, which makes educational electronic kits and musical instruments, and cycling apparel company Terry Precision Cycling.Terry Cycling reportedly said its business would not survive from its projected tariff expenditure.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
