Why Ethereum is down 1.5% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum slipped about 1.5% over the last hour as sentiment was pressured by security concerns after Yuga Labs intervened to rescue dozens of Ethereum NFTs from an exploit, highlighting ongoing exploit risk in the ecosystem. While Tom Lee’s BitMine was reported to be buying the dip and adding $214M in ETH, that accumulation wasn’t enough to offset the near-term risk-off reaction in price.
