About Ethereum
Ethereum (ETH) is the largest smart-contract platform, and ether is the asset used to pay for computation on it. It underpins most of decentralised finance, including several of the round-the-clock markets that make weekend price discovery possible for other assets.
Like Bitcoin, Ethereum trades continuously, so its price keeps updating overnight, at the weekend and on market holidays. The price here is a spot price aggregated from major US dollar venues.

Frequently asked questions
Does Ethereum trade on weekends?
Yes. Ethereum trades 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year. There are no market hours, no closing bell and no holidays, so the ETH price on this page updates continuously.
Where does this ETH price come from?
It is a US-dollar spot price taken from major exchanges and cross-checked against other venues, so a single venue's outage or bad print does not move the number shown here.
Why does ETH move when the stock market is closed?
Because it never stops trading. Ethereum often reacts to weekend news hours or days before equity and futures markets reopen, which is why it is a useful thing to watch when everything else is shut.
