ETH, ether, Ethereum: one price
Ethereum is the network; ether (ticker ETH) is its coin. "ETH to USD", "ether to USD" and "Ethereum to USD" all mean the same price. A different coin, Ethereum Classic (ETC), comes from a 2016 split and trades at a much lower price. Don't mix them up when you buy or send (Ethereum Classic explained).
Is ETH on Base, Arbitrum or Optimism worth the same?
Yes, ETH moved to a layer 2 network is still ETH and is priced the same, though moving it between networks costs fees and sometimes takes time. Close relatives are priced differently:
- WETH (wrapped ether) is a token that can be swapped back for ETH one for one, so it tracks ETH almost exactly.
- Liquid staking tokens such as stETH represent staked ETH. They usually trade close to ETH, but not always exactly at it, especially when markets are stressed.
- Tokens that just call themselves "ETH". Anyone can create a token with that name and symbol. Real ETH on Ethereum has no token contract address; if a "cheap ETH" shows up in your wallet or on a swap site, it's almost certainly worthless or a scam.
What moves the ETH price
- Demand for the network. Every transaction on Ethereum pays a fee in ETH, so busy periods (trading, stablecoin transfers, new apps) create demand for ETH.
- Supply that can grow or shrink. New ETH goes to validators as rewards, while the "base fee" part of every transaction fee is burned (destroyed) under a 2021 change called EIP-1559. Whether total supply rises or falls depends on how busy the network is.
- Staking. ETH locked up by validators isn't for sale in the short term. A solo validator needs 32 ETH (proof of stake explained).
- Funds and the wider market. US spot Ether ETFs have traded since July 2024, and ETH has often moved in the same direction as bitcoin and tech stocks.
Short-term moves are close to impossible to predict, and nothing here is a forecast.
Why your exchange's ETH price is slightly different
Every exchange runs its own market, so ETH trades at slightly different prices in different places. CoinGecko averages many exchanges, weighted by volume and with outliers removed. On top of that, the price you pay includes the exchange's fee and usually a spread above the market. When you withdraw ETH, the exchange charges a network fee in ETH, which is often much lower if you withdraw to a layer 2. Check the network carefully first: sending to the wrong network is a common, expensive mistake.
Ether units: gwei and wei
1 ETH = 1,000,000,000 gwei = 1018 wei. Wei is the smallest unit; gwei (a billion wei) is used for gas prices. A plain ETH transfer uses 21,000 gas, so at a gas price of 1 gwei it costs 21,000 gwei, or 0.000021 ETH. See gwei to USD for live fee figures, or the network fee calculator.
How to check a price safely
- Go to the source yourself. Type the address of your exchange or a big price tracker, or use a bookmark. Search ads and links in messages can lead to copycat sites.
- A price is never a reason to rush. "The price is about to jump, buy now" is the oldest pressure tactic there is.
- Fake trading sites show fake numbers. Scam "platforms" display made-up prices and balances that seem to grow, then demand a "tax" or "unlock fee" before you can withdraw. If you can't withdraw, the balance isn't real. Read how to spot fake crypto trading sites.
- Checking a price never needs your wallet. No converter, this one included, should ask you to connect a wallet, sign anything or type a seed phrase. Anything that does is a scam.
Questions
How much is 1 ETH in US dollars?
It changes by the minute. The converter shows the current CoinGecko price for 1 ETH and the time it was last updated. See also 1 ETH to USD and the Ethereum price chart.
Is the Ethereum price the same as the ETH price?
Yes. Ethereum is the network and ETH (ether) is its coin, so "Ethereum price" means the price of 1 ETH.
How many gwei are in 1 ETH?
One billion (1,000,000,000). One gwei is 0.000000001 ETH.
Is ETH the same as ETC?
No. Ethereum Classic (ETC) is a separate coin from a 2016 split, with its own, much lower price. Sending one to an address on the other network can lose it.
Why does my wallet show a different dollar value?
Wallets use their own price source and refresh at different times, so small differences are normal. A big gap may mean the token isn't real ETH.
Should I buy ETH now?
This site can't tell you that and doesn't give investment advice. Read how to buy Ethereum safely to understand the risks and costs first.
