Why Ethereum is up 1.5% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) rose about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as adoption-focused headlines supported sentiment, including Standard Chartered expanding Bitcoin and Ethereum trading access for wealthy UAE clients, which signals growing institutional availability for ETH exposure. Separately, Lido’s rollout of ETH staking across four Layer-2 networks using Chainlink CCIP likely reinforced expectations of broader staking accessibility and ecosystem activity.
