Ethereum, along with its eccentric co-founder Vitalik Buterin, came to prominence during the ICO bubble. It came close to flipping Bitcoin in June 2017. 

After a strong start in early 2020, the price of ETH had its biggest daily crash to date on March 12 but has since surged back above the $200 level.
