Why Ethereum is down 9.2% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) fell 9.2% over the past 24 hours as traders digested a mix of headlines that skewed risk-off, including renewed attention on legacy security issues after reports that unclaimed ETH from The DAO hack could be redirected to fund a new security initiative (Cointelegraph). Sentiment may also have been pressured by corporate positioning around ETH treasuries, with Bit Digital — backed by Brock Pierce — announcing it will fully wind down its bitcoin mining operations as it pivots toward an Ethereum treasury strategy (The Block).
