Why Ethereum is down 1.0% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped about 1.0% over the past hour as hack-related headlines raised near-term risk sentiment, including reports that Ethereum’s validator exit queue “exploded” after a wave of DeFi hacks, signaling potential churn among validators and heightened caution (BeInCrypto). Separately, legal efforts to seize Arbitrum-frozen Kelp DAO ETH ahead of a DeFi United vote added to uncertainty around locked ETH and DeFi governance fallout (The Block).
