Understanding
Ethereum Record High
Where it stands today
Ethereum (ETH) closed at $2,753.38 on 22 Sep 2026, 44.5% below its highest since Mar 2016 of $4,956.34 reached on 24 Aug 2025. This page draws every settled daily close since 9 Mar 2016, 3,847 days in all, with the record marked and the fall from it beside. The record has been set and lost 3 times before in that span as of .
The record on this page is the highest price Ethereum has traded in the record Maketo holds, taken from each day's high rather than its close. A day can trade through a price it does not finish at, and the record is about what traded.
The fall from the record is measured from that high to the latest close, so it is the distance a holder who bought at the very top would still be down. The climb back is measured from the lowest price traded after the record, not from the start of the year, because the low is where the climb actually began.
Where the record does not reach back to the coin's first day of trading, this page says "highest since" and names the month, rather than "all-time high". A price record cannot tell on its own whether a coin traded before the record starts, and the smaller claim is the one that is always true.
