If you want to start investing in ETH, you’ll need a crypto exchange to do so. Keep in mind you may owe taxes on any gains you realise. Past performance is not a predictor of future results. Purchasing ETH is speculative and you may lose all of your investment.

Ethereum vs. Ether: What’s the Difference?


Ethereum is a blockchain platform that is, in its own words, “a global, decentralized platform for money and new kinds of applications.”

Ether (ETH) is the Ethereum blockchain’s native cryptocurrency token. It’s used to operate distributed applications on the Ethereum blockchain.

Many people in crypto talk about "buying Ethereum," but it’s important to understand that when you buy ETH, that means you own Ether (not Ethereum).
