Why Ethereum is down 1.6% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped about 1.6% over the past hour as broader crypto markets sold off on heightened geopolitical uncertainty after reports that the Iran ceasefire was already fraying, pulling BTC below $71,000 and pressuring major alts. This risk-off move likely outweighed more constructive Ethereum-specific headlines like BlackRock cutting its Ethereum staking fee, which didn’t translate into immediate buying support.
