Why Ethereum is down 1.5% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as sentiment weakened amid reports that Vitalik Buterin sold additional ETH while prices struggled to reclaim the $2,000 level, adding perceived sell-side pressure (CryptoPotato). Investors also digested Buterin’s proposal for AI “stewards” to reshape DAO governance, which may have kept focus on governance and regulatory considerations rather than near-term demand catalysts (CoinDesk).
