Why Ethereum is down 1.7% today

Analysis

Ethereum (ETH) slipped 1.7% over the past 24 hours as market sentiment was pressured by exploit-related headlines, after Cointelegraph reported Aave asked the Arbitrum DAO to move 30,000 ETH tied to the Kelp exploiter. At the same time, ETF flow coverage suggested Ethereum is still playing catch-up to Bitcoin in near-term inflows, which can weigh on short-term demand expectations even as institutional interest builds.
