Why Ethereum is down 2.7% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) fell 2.7% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment weakened following reports of an $11M+ exploit of the Verus–Ethereum bridge, which can undermine confidence in DeFi and cross-chain infrastructure. ETH also faced additional selling pressure amid reports of heavy outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs as prices met resistance, reducing near-term demand.
