What is Ethereum?
Ethereum was introduced in 2015 by the Russian-Canadian programmer Vitaly “Vitalik” Buterin. It is an open-source platform that utilises blockchain technology to create and execute distributed applications (DApps). Users can create or join so-called “smart contracts” directly without third parties, limiting the possibility for fraud.
Ethereum is commonly used as a name of the associated cryptocurrency but, in fact, Ethereum is the system or network, while Ether (or ETH) is the native currency. Users need to have Ether when they want to execute a certain transaction through the system.

What is the Czech krone (CZK)?
As one of the youngest currencies in Europe, the krona (also referred to as the koruna or “crown”) with the CZK code has been the legal tender and national currency of the Czech Republic since 1993 when it replaced the Czechoslovak koruna. The previous currency was the official currency from 1919 until the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. The Czech Republic was initially planning to adopt the euro as its official currency in 2010. However, the plans were put on hold for an indefinite period.
What affects CZK’s value?
The Czech Republic has a well-diversified industry composed of machine manufacturing, electronics, chemicals, iron and steel, vehicles, and so on. Any changes in these major sectors and industries may have an impact on the CZK value. Changes in export levels may affect the demand and supply for the CZK. Also, attention should be paid to the conditions surrounding the top trading partners, including potential economic disturbances associated with non-EU trading partners such as the US, Russian Federation, China, Turkey, etc.
Following the monetary policy direction and actions taken by the Central bank may provide useful information about the future direction of Ethereum to CZK price movement.
The integration with other EU countries makes the CZK vulnerable to fluctuations in the USD/EUR exchange rate. The forex markets have witnessed a depreciation on the CZK value when the USD became stronger against the euro.
The economy has been attracting a sufficient level of foreign investment. The level of foreign direct investment (FDI) may affect the CZK rate.
New developments and announcements in relation to the country’s move toward the adoption of the euro may influence the ETH to CZK exchange rate.
