Why Ethereum is up 2.1% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) rose 2.1% over the past 24 hours, likely supported by adoption-related headlines such as SBI VC Trade’s Japan lending push that includes ETH, which can improve accessibility and demand for holding the asset (U.Today). Meanwhile, reports of a coordinated attack draining over $800K from inactive/old Ethereum wallets appeared to have limited market impact, with coverage noting ETH remained steady despite the exploit (AMBCrypto; CryptoPotato).
