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 for fraud.
Ethereum is commonly used as the 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 Mexican Peso (MXN)?
The Mexican peso (MXN) is the legal tender and official currency of Mexico with its origin dating back to the early 19th century. During its existence, the MXN has gone through several redenominations and changes. In addition, certain monetary and fiscal policies by the Mexican authorities positioned the Mexican peso among the top 15 most traded currencies in the world and among the top three most traded currencies in Latin America.
What affects MXN’s value?
One of the most important characteristics of the Mexican economy is that it borders the United States, which means there is a high level of trading volume between the two countries. Consequently, the US dollar exchange rate has a significant impact on the MXN value on the foreign exchange markets. When trading ETH to MXN, check for potential signals by looking at the fluctuation in the USD.
Changes in the geopolitical environment and the sentiment. For example, adverse economic conditions in some of the major exporting partners such as the US may cause a decrease in demand for Mexican goods, which in turn will affect the MXN value.
Higher interest rates in the Mexican economy can increase the demand for MXN peso as investors seek to invest funds in an economy that offers higher yields.
The inflation rate in the domestic economy also has an impact on the MXN, as it leads to higher volatility.
Mexico is among the 15 largest oil producers in the world. Hence, it is very important to watch movements in oil and other natural resources prices when defining the ETH/MXN trading strategy.
