Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum slipped to $2,330.83 after a 1.9% daily drop, deepening its weekly loss to 0.44% — a painful reminder that ether is still perceived as riskier than Bitcoin (#1). Despite hosting over $95 billion in total DeFi value locked, nearly triple that of its nearest competitor, ETH has lost 12% of its value over the past month, making it slower to recover than the typical top-tier altcoin.
