Ethereum and the distance back to its peak

Ethereum trades at $2,053 against a high of $4,957 in August 2025 — −58.6% off the peak. Getting back there would take a 2.4× rise.

From low to high

Ethereum (ETH) price high and low

Over 9 years the price of Ethereum has moved between $81.79 and $4,957. The low came in December 2018, the high in August 2025. From the bottom the price has risen 25× — which is what someone would have made buying at the worst possible moment and holding to today.

The deepest ETH drawdown

The deepest fall on monthly closes was −90.5%: from the peak in January 2018 to the bottom in January 2019, taking 12 months. A useful number: it shows what holding through would have meant.

How long since the high

It has been 60 months since that high, and the price has not returned to it.

What the years show

Best and worst year for Ethereum

The best full year was 2020 at +470%. The worst was 2018 at −82.1%. Of 8 full years, 4 closed up and 4 closed down.

Rising and falling years are even — but the spread between the best and worst year matters more than the count: that is what tells you what to be ready for.

ETH price in 2026

The current year stands at −30.9%, ranging from $1,506 to $3,403.

Months: how many closed up

How many months ETH closed up

Of 110 closed months, 58 finished up and 52 finished down — 53% of months were rising ones. The average month returned +5.0%.

Strongest and weakest month for Ethereum

The strongest month on record was January 2021 at +78.2%; the hardest was March 2018 at −53.8%.

Does ETH have a seasonal pattern

Which month Ethereum rose in most often

On average ETH did best in April: +17.6% across 9 observations, 6 of them positive. It did worst in June: −11.6% across 9 observations.

Why the number of observations beats the average percentage

We print the number of observations next to the percentage for a reason. 9 observations is 9 observations: on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from coincidence. Interesting to look at, not something to plan around.

How to use this

What these numbers do not say

Everything above is the past. It does not say where the price goes next, but it does show the range to be ready for: $81.79 to $4,957, with a drawdown of −90.5%.

Where to check the ETH price across exchanges

What is useful right now comes down to three things, all of them computed from live data rather than history.

The ETH price gap between exchanges

ETH costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner: it shows where the coin is cheaper and where it is dearer right now.

How much ETH you can actually buy at that price

Before a large purchase it is worth checking the order books — they show how much you can actually take at a given price, not just the best offer.

Moving ETH between platforms

And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.

How we count

Frequently asked

What is Ethereum worth right now?
$2,053 as of the last refresh. The live price from the exchanges we cover is shown in the board at the top of the page and updates on its own.
What was the ETH all-time high?
$4,957 in August 2025. The price is currently −58.6% against that level.
Where does the data come from?
From the exchange's monthly candles: each month's close, high and low since August 2017. A closed month never changes, so the history ships ready-made and renders instantly while the live price is fetched separately.
Can I decide whether to buy from this page?
No. The page shows what has already happened. Past returns do not carry into the future, and no chart changes that.
Ethereum arbitrageWhere ether is cheaper and dearer right now. And why the deciding factor is not price but the network you move it over.
