Current Status of ETH
Ethereum (ETH) is currently the worst-performing cryptocurrency among the top ten, with a weekly drop of 3.2%. CoinGecko data indicates a 1.2% decline over the past 24 hours. Despite Bitcoin hitting record highs in May, ETH remains 50.5% below its all-time high achieved in late 2021.
