Why Ethereum is up 1.3% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) rose about 1.3% over the past hour, likely supported by fresh demand after CoinDesk reported Tom Lee’s Bitmine added another $138 million in ETH, extending its buying streak. That buying narrative appears to have outweighed near-term selling pressure highlighted by The Block, which noted an early Ethereum holder sold roughly $31 million worth of ETH after a decade-long hold.
