Ethereum Classic (ETC) was created as a hard fork of Ethereum (ETH) in 2016 as the result of a hack on the Ethereum network in which DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) security was breached and 50 million dollars were stolen.

Ethereum Classic operates on the old blockchain and Ethereum on a new one that was created with the hard fork.

From February 2017 to March 2017, trading volumes increased by more than five times, from 5 to 27 million. ETC price continued following positive trends throughout May as well, with 165% of gains and a new high price of $23, which was also the highest price in June.

Ethereum Classic continued this positive momentum, breaking the resistance at $40 and reaching a new high of $42.

In January 2018, Ethereum Classic price reached an all-time high (ATH) at the value of $47, then dipped to $28 in the same month. Over the next two months, ETC fell by 50% to touch $14 in March. Ethereum Classic price went through a rebound in April, recording 51% gains and a new monthly high at $22. Until December 2018, ETC price traded between lows of $9 and highs of $20, before sinking to $4 at the end of the year.

Factors Influencing the Price of Ethereum Classic (ETC)

The price of Ethereum Classic depends on a wide variety of specific factors that help form its market value. Ethereum Classic has a capped max supply, which means that no new coins will be minted once all of the supply is in circulation. This fixed supply means that ETC isn’t subject to inflation like fiat currencies and an increase in demand will drive up its price.

The demand for Ethereum Classic is closely related to the number of listings that ETC has on various exchanges, and is expressed through trading volumes. The balance between buying and selling activity will eventually form the price and define a market cycle as bearish or bullish.

Events like news, partnerships, new listings on exchanges, adoption by companies or users, upgrades and updates, and dev team activity can affect the price of ETC and other cryptos. The lack of these developments can also affect the price, usually pushing it downwards as sentiment around the project becomes negative.

The higher the demand the higher the price, while the value of Ethereum Classic would decrease in the case of negative sentiment, bearish market cycles, negative trends, and major market dips. The use of smart contracts is a major advantage of Ethereum Classic. However, ETC has to compete with the ambitious upgrades of Ethereum as its closest crypto peer in the sense of technology and blockchain architecture.
