The value of Ether has fallen alongside the rest of the crypto market, according to CoinDesk. That could be good news for anyone hoping to buy a new GPU without having to compete with Ethereum miners for the best graphics cards.
Ether is the native token of the Ethereum blockchain. It’s valued at roughly $1,795 at the time of writing, which means its price fell by approximately 1.1% in the last 24 hours, but it’s also down over 10% during the past week. Ether has suffered from similar drops over the last three months—the coin is now worth less than half of the peak $4,132 price that it briefly enjoyed on May 11.
