Why Ethereum is up 1.2% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) rose about 1.2% over the past hour as market participants reacted to adoption-positive headlines, including The Block’s report that Charles Schwab has begun rolling out a spot bitcoin and ethereum trading platform, which can be interpreted as supportive for access and demand. Cointelegraph also reported the Ethereum Foundation-funded “ETH Rangers” program exposed 100 DPRK-linked workers in crypto, a development that may be seen as strengthening ecosystem security and compliance.
