What happened to the ethereum price in 2017

Ethereum averaged $222.00 per coin in 2017, surging 2165.3% from the $9.80 average of 2016. Annual moves of that size are rare and put 2017 among the most explosive years in the asset's modern history. The defining story of 2017: ICO boom and ERC-20 token mania; ETH rose from ~$8 in January to a year-end ~$750 (peaking near $1,400 in early January 2018)..

Ethereum launched in 2015 and spent the rest of the decade establishing itself. The 2016 DAO hack and hard fork, the 2017 ICO boom that carried ETH toward $1,400, and the brutal 2018 crypto winter all defined its early years.

Adjusted for inflation, ethereum's 2017 average of $222.00 equals about $292 in today's dollars. The conversion uses US Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U annual averages, so treat it as a close approximation rather than an exact figure.
