Why Ethereum is down 1.7% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped 1.7% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment softened amid news of an Ethereum NFT exploit, even though Yuga Labs moved to rescue affected assets—an incident that can weigh on broader confidence in the ecosystem. At the same time, reports that Tom Lee’s BitMine “bought the dip” with roughly $214M in ETH signaled institutional demand, but that buying wasn’t enough to offset the broader selloff pressure in the near term.
