Ethereum Classic traded at $8.52 on September 19, 2026, posting a 24-hour gain of 7.85% as buying pressure carried the asset higher for a second consecutive session. The move added to a weekly advance of 10.75%, signaling sustained demand over a relatively short timeframe.
Zooming out further, ETC has risen 27.42% over the past 30 days, a stretch of appreciation that has drawn renewed attention to the original Ethereum chain. The asset's market capitalization stood at $1.31 billion at the time of measurement.
The 30-day performance places Ethereum Classic among the stronger-performing assets in the broader crypto market over that window. Whether the momentum reflects macro conditions affecting digital assets generally or dynamics specific to ETC, the price data shows a consistent upward trajectory across all three measured timeframes.
At $1.31 billion in market capitalization, Ethereum Classic remains a mid-tier crypto asset by size. The combination of short- and medium-term gains suggests the current price level reflects materially different market sentiment than was present a month ago.
