ETH Chan ($ETHCHAN), an Ethereum-based token with the contract address 0x5417994ae69E6CCb283Bb6dBdbA3006b3d3F9f95, has been gaining traction with a 24-hour trading volume of $1.9 million as of May 19, 2025. The token has achieved an all-time high (ATH) market cap of $1.55 million, a figure that many believe is modest given its captivating narrative.
The origins of $ETHCHAN can be traced back to Shiro (@shiro57102) artwork, where character $ETHCHAN was created. Shiro started on an ongoing series, “Day X of drawing $ETHCHAN to $10,000 ETH,” of which an example of an endearing drawing of Ethereum-chan, created from that of the cryptocurrency Ethereum, is shown through archived search engine results. The series, as viewed through archived search engine results, is not directly associated with Shiro but has piqued the interests of the community of Ethereum despite that, owing to its dedication and creativity. The series brings Web3 culture together with an endearing anime-style look, which works well for Ethereum enthusiasts. The series received further traction when Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, became Shiro’s social media follower, in favor of this character, spreading it further within the community.
$ETHCHAN is what best captures the essence of Ethereum in terms of innovation, community engagement, and aspirational element of reaching $10,000 for ETH. The token is becoming increasingly synonymous with Ethereum’s ethos, innovation, and enthusiasm that define blockchain’s ecosystem. With $1.55 million ATH market cap and $1.9 million traded, most of the community is of the belief that $ETHCHAN’s market still hasn’t touched its narrative’s strength yet, indicating scope for further growth as the series continues to gain traction.
$ETHCHAN’s rise is an affirmation of art and storytelling power in the crypto universe, and particularly within the world of Ethereum. Continuing from where Shiro’s passionate art series left, $ETHCHAN has become an unofficial symbol of sorts within the world of Ethereum, symbolizing where art and Web3 culture converge, to become virtually an old-school token of storytelling within this new world of cryptocurrency.
