Odaily News Justin Drake, an official researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, wrote on X that today is the tenth birthday of Ethereum. On July 22, 2014, Ethereum officially launched IC0. The fundraising price that year was 1 BTC for 2,000 ETH, without permission, VC, or lock-up. Ten years later, 1 BTC can be exchanged for less than 20 ETH, which means that ETH has increased more than 100 times relative to BTC in the past decade.
