Why Ethereum is down 1.0% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped about 1.0% over the last hour as risk sentiment weakened following reports tied to the KelpDAO exploit, including allegations that the hacker laundered ETH via THORChain and discussion of funds being frozen around the incident (AMBCrypto). While a new actively managed ETF basket including ETH launched on Nasdaq could be supportive longer-term, the immediate market focus appeared to be on exploit-related headlines rather than inflows (Decrypt).
