Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped 1.3% over the past hour as broader quarter-end positioning weighed on crypto prices, with Tom Lee citing “window dressing” dynamics that can pressure risk assets into period close. Separately, reports that institutions reduced exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs likely added to near-term selling pressure in ETH despite some ongoing spot accumulation by BitMine.
