Why Ethereum is down 1.5% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped ~1.5% over the past 24 hours as attention and flows appeared to rotate away from ETH, with ETF performance headlines showing XRP outperforming Ethereum and other majors, potentially weighing on near-term sentiment. While CoinDesk reported Bitmine buying another $69M of ETH (a supportive signal), that accumulation wasn’t enough to offset the broader relative underperformance narrative.
