Why Ethereum is up 3.4% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) rose 3.4% over the past 24 hours as sentiment improved on signs of expanding institutional access, after Standard Chartered announced it is offering Bitcoin and Ethereum trading to wealthy UAE clients (Decrypt). The move came despite a potentially negative headline that VanEck withdrew its Lido staked ETH ETF bid after a long wait (CryptoNews), suggesting the market focused more on near-term demand and distribution channels than ETF setbacks.
