Why Ethereum is down 1.6% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped 1.6% over the past 24 hours as traders weighed mixed ecosystem headlines, including renewed attention on wallet security after Ledger publicly disputed claims of an Ethereum app flaw, which can still add short-term uncertainty and risk-off positioning. At the same time, Coinbase’s rollout of tokenized stocks on its Ethereum L2 Base signaled continued onchain expansion, but it wasn’t enough to offset the cautious tone.
