Ether priced in USD (ETHUSD).
About Ether / US Dollar (ETHUSD)
ETHUSD is the price of one ether in US dollars. Ether changes hands continuously on venues around the world, and their quotes drift apart during fast moves, so a single blended price gives a cleaner reference for dashboards, backtests, and risk checks.
SiftingIO publishes one consolidated ETHUSD price built from several centralized venues. The live quote includes price, bid, ask, spread in basis points, 24-hour volume and change, the number of venues behind the number, and a timestamp. Pull it as a REST snapshot, or subscribe over WebSocket for a live stream.
For history, OHLCV bars are served over REST at one-minute through hourly resolution, with wider intervals available, and the volume on each bar is measured in ether, the base asset. The reachable history depends on your plan tier, a recent window on the free tier and the complete series on higher tiers, with the exact spans on the pricing page.
Update frequency rises with tier from one to ten times per second, and the median age of a published price is under 100 milliseconds, a data-freshness figure rather than an execution one. Each tick is a volume and reputation weighted median across venues and carries source, ingest, and publish timestamps plus a quality flag.
