What is Ethereum?

Ethereum is a blockchain that lets developers build apps that run without a central company in charge. It launched in 2015 and is the second-largest cryptocurrency network by market value, after Bitcoin. Where Bitcoin was built mainly to store and send value, Ethereum was built to run code. Programs on Ethereum, called smart contracts, power things like decentralised finance (DeFi), digital collectibles (NFTs) and many of the stablecoins people use every day. Ether (ETH) is Ethereum's own currency. It's used to pay the network fees, often called "gas", that keep those apps running, and it's what you buy when you buy Ethereum. In 2022, Ethereum switched from mining to staking, a change known as "the Merge". Instead of computers competing to add new blocks, validators lock up ETH to help secure the network. The switch cut the network's energy use by more than 99%.

What moves the price of Ether?

Like any digital asset, Ether's price is set by supply and demand on exchanges around the world. A few things tend to affect it:

How much the network is used

More activity in DeFi, stablecoins, and other apps means more demand for Ether to pay network fees.

Changes to supply

New Ether is issued to validators, while part of every transaction fee is permanently removed from circulation. The balance between the two changes how much Ether is in circulation.

Network upgrades

Major upgrades to Ether can change how it works and how people view it.

Institutional demand

Exchange-traded funds, companies, and funds that hold Ether add to demand.
Ether's price can move quickly in either direction. Consider buying only an amount you’d be comfortable holding through those ups and downs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I buy Ether with Australian dollars?

Add AUD to your Nexo account using PayID, a bank transfer, or а card. Then go to the Exchange tab, choose Ether, enter the amount, and confirm.

What's the difference between Ethereum and Ether?

Ethereum is the network, and Ether (ETH) is its currency. When you buy Ethereum on Nexo, you're buying ETH.

Can I borrow against my Ethereum instead of selling it?

Yes. You can use your ETH as collateral for a Nexo Credit Line and receive AUD, while keeping your ETH. Borrowing involves risk: if the value of your ETH falls, you may need to add collateral, or part of it may be sold.

How long does a PayID or Osko transfer take?

Osko transfers between participating banks usually arrive in near real time. A standard BECS transfer typically takes 1–3 business days.

Can I buy Ether with a credit card in Australia?

Yes. You can use a Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card, or a card saved in Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Is there a minimum amount of Ether I can buy?

Yes. The minimum purchase is the equivalent of US$10, so you can start with a small amount and buy a fraction of Ether. Some funding methods, such as card payments, may have their own minimums, which you'll see in the app before you confirm.

Do I pay tax on Ether in Australia?

Capital gains tax can apply when you sell, swap, or spend Ether, depending on your circumstances. You can import your Nexo history into Koinly to help prepare your tax report, and a registered tax agent can advise on your situation.
