Why Ethereum is down 1.5% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment weakened following reports of multiple attacks hitting Bitcoin- and Ethereum-linked protocols, with roughly $35 million lost, which likely pressured the broader DeFi complex. While there was constructive news on cross-chain tokenized bank deposits via LayerZero and Keeta, it wasn’t enough to offset the near-term security overhang.
