Why Ethereum is down 3.5% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) fell 3.5% over the past 24 hours amid risk-off sentiment tied to security concerns and institutional positioning. A reported $11M theft from the Verus–Ethereum bridge likely weighed on confidence in Ethereum-linked infrastructure (CryptoPotato), while reports that Goldman Sachs cut its Ethereum exposure by roughly 70% may have added selling pressure and dampened sentiment around ETH-related products (BeInCrypto).
