Why Ethereum is up 1.7% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) rose about 1.7% over the past 24 hours, likely supported by fresh institutional-style buying after BitMine disclosed a $240 million ETH purchase, with Tom Lee framing it as part of a broader “crypto spring” narrative. Despite concerns highlighted by BeInCrypto about a surge in the Ethereum validator exit queue following a wave of DeFi hacks, the market appeared to focus more on the positive demand signal.
