Ethereum Classic (ETC) gained 5.28% over the past 24 hours to trade at $8.18 on September 8, 2026. The move continued a stretch of positive momentum for the proof-of-work cryptocurrency.
Over the past seven days, ETC advanced 12.05%, and its 30-day gain stands at 26.04%, reflecting sustained buying pressure across a longer time horizon. The asset's market capitalization reached $1.28 billion.
Ethereum Classic is the original Ethereum blockchain, maintained by a community that opposed the 2016 hard fork that created Ethereum. It continues to operate under the principle that blockchain transactions should be immutable and censorship-resistant.
The latest price action places ETC among the more active assets in the broader crypto market over the past month, though market conditions can shift rapidly and past performance does not guarantee continued results.
