About the ethereum classic price
Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original Ethereum chain, which continued unchanged after Ethereum reversed the 2016 DAO hack in a hard fork. The live price is published only when two independent feeds agree (TradingView's real-time exchange price, Yahoo Finance and CNBC's Coin Metrics reference rate). Crypto trades around the clock, so the daily change and the history use the close at midnight UTC.
