Why Ethereum is down 2.3% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) fell 2.3% over the past 24 hours as sentiment weakened amid reports that Ethereum builders acknowledge blockchain apps still haven’t achieved mainstream adoption, reinforcing near-term skepticism about demand growth. Adding to pressure, CryptoPotato highlighted claims that Vitalik Buterin has sold more ETH while the price struggles below $2,000, which can weigh on market psychology and prompt risk-off positioning.
