Why Ethereum is up 1.7% today
Analysis

While hack-related headlines created mixed signals—The Block reported on efforts to seize Arbitrum-frozen Kelp DAO ETH ahead of a DeFi United vote, and BeInCrypto noted a surge in Ethereum’s validator exit queue following a DeFi hack wave—price action still tilted upward amid the scaling narrative.
