Why Ethereum is up 1.3% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) rose 1.3% over the past hour as traders reacted to renewed optimism around upcoming scaling improvements, after U.Today reported Ethereum is set for a potential 3x capacity boost that could ease network congestion and lower fees. The move came despite some offsetting headline risk from The Block about a legal effort to seize Arbitrum-frozen Kelp DAO ETH tied to a North Korea-related case, which may have limited upside but didn’t derail sentiment.
