Ethereum Classic saw a huge downfall in its price index after the aftermath of the third party hack that siphoned off $50 million USD worth of Ether from the platform. The price of Ether plummeted to oblivion. But after the hard fork, Ethereum Classic started gaining popularity again and by June 2017, the price of ETC in USD peaked at $24 USD per coin. In the span of just one year after that, the value of ETC almost in January 2018 and reached a value of $44.34 USD per coin. But like all cryptocurrencies, the ETC coin was also susceptible to the crypto market crash of 2018 and soon the price of ETC fell steeply over the course of a few months. By January 2019, the ETC coin was trading at a meager $5.13 USD per coin. Since then, Ethereum Classic developers and community are working hard towards reviving the coin back to its old glory and by February 2020, the coin reached a value of $12.31 USD.
