Why Ethereum is up 1.6% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) rose 1.6% over the past 24 hours, likely supported by a risk-on reaction to reports that Charles Schwab has begun rolling out a spot bitcoin and ethereum trading platform, which could be read as a step toward broader mainstream access (The Block). Sentiment may also have been helped by signs of continued on-chain activity and competition among Ethereum DEX aggregators, highlighting ongoing ecosystem engagement (The Block).
