How has Ethereum performed?
Ethereum (ETH) has lost 28.9% from November 6, 2025 to November 4, 2026, using daily prices from CoinGecko. So $1,000 invested at the start would be worth about $711 now, before fees and taxes.

The range over that time was wide. The highest daily price we recorded was $3,578.8 on November 10, 2025, and the lowest was $1,566.01 on June 26, 2026. The latest price of $2,436.45 sits 31.9% below that high and 55.6% above that low. The largest fall from a high to a later low in this period was 56.2%.
Day-to-day moves tell you what holding it feels like. ETH closed higher on 50% of days. Its biggest one-day gain was 17.5% on August 20, 2026, and its biggest one-day fall was 14.9% on February 6, 2026. A typical daily move was about 3.2%, which is far larger than for most stocks or broad funds.
Buying a little at a time would have given a different result. Putting $10 a week into ETH over this period would have cost $520 and be worth about $553 today. Over the same dates, Bitcoin lost 22.4%, so ETH did worse than the largest coin. These results are historical and hypothetical, and they aren't a forecast or a recommendation.
