What is Ethereum?
Ethereum was introduced in 2015 by a 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 of 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.
Some interesting facts about the ETH

What affects Ethereum’s value?
The factors can be divided into two groups – the ETH related and those affecting the general cryptocurrency market.
Ethereum specific factors are:
- The demand for ETH, which is not driven solely by trading activities.
- The acceptance of the Ethereum system by more established financial institutions.
- The increased adoption of smart contracts hosted on the Ethereum platform and the inflow of new users will increase the demand for ETH.
- The degree of mining profitability.
- Improvements in the Ethereum system in the future.
General factors related to the crypto world:
- Changes in regulatory laws and regulations regarding the legality and usage of cryptocurrencies.
- Potential market manipulation by large participants or so-called crypto whales.
- Speculative trading – on June 22, 2017, a multi-million dollar market sell order crashed the ETH price from above $300 (£240) down to $0.10 (£0.08) in a couple of seconds, although the price did bounce back within minutes. One trader reportedly made more than $1m, thanks to an automatic buy order set at $0.10 through which he purchased over 3,000 ETH.
- The number of crypto channels where ETH is available for trading also affect its value.
- The number and strength of ETH competitors.
What is the Danish Krone (DKK)?
Danish krone is the currency in circulation in the Kingdom of Denmark with a currency code DKK. Its regulation falls under the jurisdiction of the Danmarks Nationalbank (the Central Bank). Danish krone is also the official currency in the Faroe Islands and Greenland. Denmark maintains a fixed exchange rate regime of its currency, primarily with the German mark and later with the euro. The reason for maintaining a pegged exchange rate regime is to avoid potential risks related to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the currencies.
Which factors affect DKK value?
The strength or weakness of fiat currency is determined by a variety of macroeconomic factors. Changes in the export and import levels, economic growth, the cost for borrowing, unemployment, etc. may cause changes in the value of ETH/DKK.
The foreign exchange policy managed by the Central Bank may also influence the value of the domestic currency. However, inflation is not of crucial importance for the Ethereum to DKK movement or the movement of DKK in general. This comes from the fixed exchange rate against the euro through which Denmark maintains a low inflation rate.
