Why Ethereum is up 1.7% in the last hour

Analysis

Ethereum (ETH) rose 1.7% over the past hour as market attention centered on ETF-related flow chatter and a high-profile Polymarket trade involving Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, which helped keep sentiment constructive despite broader volatility. At the same time, commentary about β€œFTX-era stress” and potential deleveraging highlighted by AMBCrypto may have framed the move as a rebound amid positioning resets rather than a purely risk-off slide.
