Ethereum returned -10.96% in 2025 in US Dollar terms. That's based on an "opening" trade of $3,332.41 on January 1, 2025, and a "closing" trade of $2,967.04 on December 31, 2025.
Despite the negative annual return, 2025 was pretty eventful for Ethereum. On August 24, 2025, ETH hit a new all-time high of $4,953.73 – finally eclipsing its 2021 peak, though not hitting the long-"promised" $5,000. On April 9, 2025, it touched a yearly low of $1,386.80.
