Why Ethereum is down 1.2% in the last hour

Analysis

Ethereum (ETH) slipped about 1.2% over the past hour as traders reacted to renewed DeFi exploit headlines, with Cointelegraph reporting Aave’s request for Arbitrum to redirect 30K ETH tied to the Kelp exploiter—an event that can weigh on near-term sentiment across ETH-linked DeFi. At the same time, ETF flow coverage suggested Ethereum’s institutional bid remains more mixed versus Bitcoin in the latest recap, which may have offered less immediate support during the hour (AMBCrypto).
