Ethereum Price Performance So Far in 2026?

Ethereum price started trading in 2026 near $3,122, then dropped through January and into a sharp February selloff that bottomed near $1,755, its yearly low. The token spent the spring and summer rebuilding, climbing back above $3,300 by mid-year before drifting lower again into September as rate-hike expectations built.

Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs posted their strongest month in a year in August, pulling in $1.75 billion in net inflows even as the price stayed below its earlier highs. That flow reversed sharply on September 15, when Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs together shed $592 million in a single day after the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate, their deepest combined outflow in months.
