Why Ethereum is up 1.9% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) rose 1.9% over the past 24 hours, likely supported by institutional adoption headlines after The Block reported JPMorgan expanded its “JPM Coin” deposit token onto Ethereum for institutional clients. While there were also security-related stories—U.Today noted $32 million in stolen ETH moving on-chain and The Block covered Cysic suspending a bridge after an exploit—these appeared more like isolated incidents than a broad negative catalyst for ETH’s price in this window.
