Why Ethereum is down 1.8% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped 1.8% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment weakened following reports of a “CLARITY” legislative setback that coincided with a broader drop in crypto and negative ETF flow momentum for majors, including ETH. Separately, ETH sentiment may have been pressured by headlines that Ethereum and Base abandoned talks on a common wallet standard after months of discussions, highlighting continued fragmentation in wallet interoperability efforts.
