Why Ethereum is down 1.5% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped about 1.5% over the past 24 hours despite a cluster of Ethereum-related corporate headlines. CoinDesk and Decrypt reported that Joe Lubin-backed SharpLink is set to join the Russell indexes, and Decrypt also noted Tom Lee’s BitMine made its biggest ETH buy yet in 2026—developments that are supportive longer-term but didn’t translate into immediate upside, leaving ETH modestly lower on the day.
