Why Ethereum is down 1.2% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped about 1.2% over the last hour even as headlines highlighted Aztec’s zk.money returning to Ethereum, a privacy-focused protocol upgrade covered by CoinDesk and Decrypt. Because these developments are feature/utility updates rather than immediate demand catalysts, the news may not have provided near-term buying support, leaving ETH weaker on the hour.
