Ethereum Plunges 2% Amid Hawkish Pivot by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh
Ethereum's price dropped by 2.10% to $2,435.43 due to a hawkish shift in Federal Reserve policy announced by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh at the Jackson Hole symposium.
The change in policy revived expectations for a September interest rate hike, triggering a risk-off move across crypto markets.
This move was not specific to Ethereum but rather a response to shifting expectations of tighter U.S. monetary policy, which reduces the appeal of speculative assets.
