Why Ethereum is down 1.1% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped 1.1% over the past hour as risk sentiment likely softened following news of an Ethereum NFT exploit that required Yuga Labs to step in and rescue dozens of assets, highlighting ongoing security concerns in the ecosystem. While a separate report noted Tom Lee’s BitMine bought $214M worth of ETH during what it called a “superficial” selloff, that accumulation didn’t appear to offset the near-term caution in price action.
