Ethereum Pullback Driven by Ecosystem Issues, Not Market Risk

Ethereum's recent pullback is not driven by broad market risk-off sentiment, but rather by issues specific to the Ethereum ecosystem itself.

According to KuCoin, spot ETFs saw over $140 million in net outflows over the past week, compounded by security vulnerabilities exposed in re-staking tokens like rsETH.

Institutions are growing cautious about custody and smart contract risks within the Ethereum ecosystem, which is more concerning than mere 'profit-taking.'

On-chain data shows large holders concentrating their selling activity in the $2,650, $2,700 range, with the current price of $2,711.68 stuck right within this selling zone.
