In the midst of a broad market decline in the cryptocurrency market, Ethereum’s price fell, and it is currently trading at a price of $ 3,207.88. The dumping impacted the Ethereum network and led to a liquidation of about $25 million worth of assets in the ecosystem of the cryptocurrency. Therefore, this becomes a new indicator of the market activity fluctuations and volatility.
