## Price context (as of 2026-10-29)

ETH-USD is the second-largest digital asset by market cap, priced around **$2,348–$2,349** as of 2026-10-29, essentially flat over 24 hours [our data snapshot; DOC-26]. This sits well below the **~$4,950 all-time high reached in 2025** and reflects a coin that rallied hard in the summer then gave back some gains [[1]](https://memeburn.com/ethereum-price-prediction/)[[23]](https://247wallst.com/investing/cryptocurrency/2026/09/25/ethereum-and-solana-recent-gains-and-upcoming-changes-in-september/). Note that some sources still quote much older figures — for example, Memeburn lists ETH at $1,883, but that appears to be mid-2026 data (contradicting its own "October 2026" promo codes), so treat that figure as stale rather than current [[1]](https://memeburn.com/ethereum-price-prediction/).
