Why Ethereum is down 1.6% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped about 1.6% over the past 24 hours as attention shifted to broader ecosystem headlines that didn’t provide a clear near-term catalyst for ETH buying. CoinDesk reported on Espresso network’s ESP token launch and airdrop amid ongoing Ethereum layer-2 debate, which may have pulled focus toward L2/token-specific activity rather than ETH itself.
