Why Ethereum is up 1.3% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) rose 1.3% over the past hour as traders reacted to protocol/ecosystem developments, including Lido expanding ETH staking across four Layer-2 networks via Chainlink CCIP, which supports broader staking access and L2 activity. The move also comes despite a more cautious broader backdrop noted by Decrypt, which reported macro pressures driving “outsized drawdowns” in Ethereum and other altcoins—suggesting the hour’s uptick was more likely driven by near-term ecosystem headlines than a shift in macro conditions.
