Ethereum dropped to $3,800, which is 20% lower than its highest price this month. Its drop has been similar to how other major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ripple have performed.
Ethereum’s price dropped a lot because many people had to sell their assets.
One big reason ETH prices dropped is that liquidations reached nearly $1 billion this week. On Monday, over $490 million in investments that bet on rising prices were sold off as the cryptocurrency market fell sharply.
On Friday, $413 million in investments were sold off, and about $50 million were sold earlier in the week. Liquidations happen when exchanges close leveraged trades because there is no more money or collateral left to support them.
The price of Ethereum fell a lot because more people took their money out of exchanges. All spot Ethereum funds lost over $547 million in assets after gaining $556 million the week before. Increasing outflows show that institutional investors in the United States are losing interest.
The drop happened after people sold off their stocks to take profits and because there are new worries about the Federal Reserve. Some officials, like Beth Hammack, John Williams, and Raphael Bostic, said that lowering rates more could keep inflation high.
Concerns about inflation grew on Thursday after Donald Trump said he would impose more tariffs. He plans to add taxes on imported medicines, drugs, and other things like furniture.
Ethereum has some reasons for optimism, such as Vanguard possibly joining the crypto market, the upcoming Fusaka updates, and retirement funds beginning to invest in cryptocurrencies.
