			We then looked at return correlation among the cryptocurrencies to better understand the interaction within their ecosystem. Despite the fact that the genesis of each coin is independent of each other and the fact that they were created on different platforms using different protocols and at different points in time, our analysis shows (since 2018) moderate-to-high correlation among the cryptocurrencies, excluding stablecoins. The stablecoins exhibit insignificant correlation with the other cryptocurrencies (table 4), which is somewhat expected.[[File:Historical Correlations of Daily Returns.png\|left\|thumb\|554x554px]]

			Next, we took a closer look at the 100-day correlation between Bitcoin and Ether and between Tether and USDC to break down the historical data into shorter periods. Chart 6 shows that the interconnectivity between BTC and ETH is consistently high, as is the overall historical correlation. As a comparison, we added on the same graph the rolling correlation between the two largest holdings in S&P 500, which are for Apple (AAPL) and for Microsoft (MSFT). The two largest stocks exhibit medium-to-high correlation, as do the two largest cryptocurrencies (BTC and ETH) (see chart 6).[[File:100-Daily Rolling Correlations of Daily Returns.png\|left\|thumb\|479x479px]]

	* · Ethereum is renowned primarily for its native cryptocurrency, '''Ether (ETH)'''. Proposed by Vitalik Buterin in 2013 and launched in 2015, Ethereum expands upon the capabilities of blockchain technology beyond simple peer-to-peer transactions. It introduces the concept of smart contracts, which are self-executing agreements with terms directly written in code. These contracts run on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), ensuring secure and automated execution across the network. Ethereum's native cryptocurrency is called Ether (ETH), used for transaction fees and as a tradeable digital asset. With its flexibility and programmability, Ethereum has become a popular choice for a wide range of innovative blockchain projects and applications.		* · Ethereum is renowned primarily for its native cryptocurrency, '''Ether (ETH)'''.

	* · Ethereum was designed as the "'''upgrade'''" of Bitcoin, aiming to accomplish functionalities that Bitcoin couldn't achieve. This decentralized network is part of the appeal of Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies. Users can exchange money without the need for a central intermediary such as a bank, and the lack of a central bank means the currency is nearly autonomous. Ethereum also allows users to make transactions nearly anonymously, even if the transaction is publicly available on the blockchain.		* · Ethereum was designed as the "'''upgrade'''" of Bitcoin, aiming to accomplish functionalities that Bitcoin couldn't achieve.
