Ethereum Classic (ETC) traded at $9.02 on October 5, 2026, marking a 2.27% increase over the prior 24 hours. The move added to what has been a notable month for the asset, which has climbed 17.60% over the past 30 days.
Despite the monthly strength, ETC recorded a 1.20% decline over the trailing seven-day period, reflecting some short-term volatility within the broader upward trend. The asset's market capitalization stood at $1.43 billion at the time of this report.
Ethereum Classic is a proof-of-work blockchain that emerged from a 2016 split with the Ethereum network and continues to operate independently. Its market cap places it among the mid-tier digital assets by size.
The 30-day gain of 17.60% represents the most significant price movement across the measured timeframes, while the daily and weekly figures suggest more mixed near-term momentum heading into the session.
