Why Ethereum is up 1.7% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) rose 1.7% over the past 24 hours as concerns about an alleged Ethereum app flaw on Ledger appeared to ease after Ledger publicly pushed back on the claims, calling them “manufacturing fear for attention,” which may have reduced near-term uncertainty for ETH holders. Separately, CryptoPotato reported Wintermute building heavy short positions that coincided with broader market weakness, but ETH still finished higher over the day (confidence: 57%).
