Why Ethereum is down 2.0% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) fell about 2.0% over the past 24 hours as broader risk sentiment weakened alongside continued pullbacks in major assets, with AMBCrypto highlighting deepening “crypto fear” and ongoing retracement in both Bitcoin and Ethereum. ETH may also have faced additional uncertainty from corporate and ecosystem headlines, including The Block’s report that Bit Digital is pivoting to an Ethereum treasury focus while winding down bitcoin mining operations, and Cointelegraph’s coverage of plans to direct unclaimed ETH from The DAO hack toward a new security initiative.
