Ethereum Classic · Market analysis
Volatility & risk
Realised volatility for ETC is moderate, with a 7-day annualised reading near 44%, placing it above 37% of the top 100 by volatility. Expect wide swings and size positions accordingly.
Liquidity & depth
Around $37.5 M changed hands in 24 hours — about 3.1% of market value turning over daily — which we read as thin liquidity, so larger orders can move the price.
Correlation with Bitcoin
Over the past week ETC's returns correlate 0.77 with Bitcoin: it tracks Bitcoin closely, offering little diversification. Correlation regimes shift, so treat this as a snapshot.
Ethereum Classic · Macro context
Over the last 90 days, Ethereum Classic's daily returns have been moderately correlated the S&P 500 (correlation 0.38) and independent gold (0.12). A low correlation to both suggests its price has been driven mainly by crypto-specific factors rather than the broader macro backdrop.

About Ethereum Classic
How Ethereum Classic works
Ethereum Classic secures its network through proof-of-work mining: computers around the world expend energy to validate transactions and add blocks to the chain. There are no smart contracts, validators or staking — security comes from the cumulative computing power (hashrate) defending the ledger, and new-coin issuance falls over time via scheduled supply reductions.
What is Ethereum Classic used for?
Ethereum Classic is used primarily as a store of value and settlement layer — a scarce, censorship-resistant digital asset and a way to move value globally without intermediaries.
Risks & considerations
All crypto-assets are volatile and high-risk; never invest more than you can afford to lose. Specific risks include mining concentration, energy-policy regulation and a 51% attack on smaller PoW chains.
