ETH Plunges 7.54% Amid Geopolitical Tensions Despite Record ETF Inflows and Surging Trading Volume

Ethereum (ETH) experienced a sharp 7.54% price decline over the past 24 hours, falling from a 24h open of $2,736.99 to $2,530.49 on Binance. The primary driver for this drop was heightened geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran, which triggered a broader risk-off sentiment across crypto markets and prompted a shift toward safe-haven assets.
