Ethereum
The second-largest cryptocurrency; its blockchain hosts smart contracts and most decentralized finance.
Coverage of Ethereum is fading : 7 signals on the latest tracked day, up 17% from its three-week baseline of 6, across 3 domains (unchanged from a week ago). That makes it the #149 most-covered of the 274 concerns we track.
If Ethereum matters to your work, attention is draining away — the pace of news no longer demands a daily check.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
