Ethereum (ETH) has recently experienced a series of significant developments impacting its market position and security landscape. Despite a prevailing bearish sentiment, analytics firm Santiment suggests a potential bullish outlook for Ethereum in 2025. Concurrently, Ethereum-backed ETFs have faced seven consecutive weeks of net outflows, totaling $82.47 million this week alone, indicating institutional hesitance and exerting downward pressure on ETH's price. This trend has contributed to ETH's price decline by 11% over the past week, with forecasts predicting a possible dip below the $1,500 mark. In terms of security, North Korean hackers, identified as the Lazarus Group, were implicated in a 2019 heist stealing $42 million worth of Ethereum from a South Korean exchange, highlighting ongoing threats to the Ethereum network.
