The post Why Ethereum Price is Down Today? How Low Will ETH Price Crash? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies fell on Tuesday as optimism around the proposed US Crypto Strategic Reserve faded. The drop also coincided with rising trade tensions, as President Trump confirmed that tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China would go into effect in hours. Amidst a broader market downturn, Ether (ETH) is hitting levels not seen since November 2023, as volatility from U.S. President Trump’s trade war threat continues to impact the market. ETH has dropped 15% in the last 24 hours. Its market cap also witnessed a decline over 13% to $252.89 billion. After a brief spike above $2,500 following Trump’s crypto reserve announcement, Ethereum has now collapsed to $2,050, erasing all its weekend gains. Ether’s Lackluster Performance Ether has seen a decline over the past three months, largely due to negative investor sentiment and underperformance compared to Bitcoin. Additionally, weak institutional demand and broader macroeconomic factors like fears over the trade war, concerns about inflation, and ongoing stock market weakness have contributed to a decrease in risk appetite among investors. All of these factors together have weighed heavily on Ether’s price. Its Open interest has dropped over 10.8% to $18.8 billion, while 24-hour liquidations have surged to $209 million, according to Coinglass data. Meanwhile, Polymarket bettors are forecasting a 76% chance of ETH reaching $1,900 by the end of the month. Ether ETF Outflows Add To the Plight Additionally, Ether ETFs experienced significant outflows last week, totaling $335 million, adding to the overall bearish sentiment. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) was hit the hardest, with more than $164 million leaving the fund since February 24. The price of ETHA shares has also fallen sharply, dropping over 38.6% since the start of 2025 to $16.09. This indicates a complete loss of institutional interest in Ethereum, erasing all the gains it made after the US election. Worst Quarter In ETH’s History? The ETFs are now down 40% since their launch eight months ago and 49% below their highs in December 2023. “The worst part for investors is that ETH still has a long way to fall,” noted Peter Schiff. With a 36% drop in ETH’s price since the start of 2025, this could become the worst-performing Q1 in its history. Analyst Venturefounder pointed out that a drop to $1,600 would make this the worst quarter in Ethereum’s history, worse than the decline in Q1 2018 after the previous cycle’s peak. However, despite Ethereum’s current drop to $2,000, market analysts believe it presents a buying opportunity for investors.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s new cryptocurrency task force will kick off a series of roundtables this month to clarify the “security status” of digital assets. Dubbed the “Spring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity,” the series will begin on March 21 with a discussion titled “How We Got Here and How We Get Out – Defining Security Status,” a March 3 SEC press release from the agency said. The event will take place at the SEC’s Washington, D.C., headquarters and will be open to the public, though space for in-person attendance is limited. The roundtables are part of a broader push by the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, launched in January by Acting Chair Mark Uyeda. Led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, the task force aims to bring some much-needed clarity to crypto regulations. According to Peirce, these roundtables are all about “drawing on the expertise of the public” to help shape a regulatory framework that actually makes sense for crypto. She called these sessions an “important part” of the SEC’s engagement with the industry. The SEC has fast-tracked efforts to clarify the security status of crypto assets just days after House Democrats introduced the MEME Act , a bill that blocks federal officials from launching, endorsing, or promoting digital assets, with criminal and civil penalties for violations.

However, the agency stressed that its stance isn’t legally binding but rather a staff interpretation with “no legal force or effect.” As previously reported by crypto.news, the SEC has also unveiled its list of members for its Crypto Task Force, which includes staff from Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda’s office, along with representatives from multiple divisions within the agency. Michael Selig, a former partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher who’s worked on crypto, NFTs, and stablecoins, is taking on the role of chief counsel. Peirce’s former policy counsel, Sumeera Younis, will run operations, and other key figures include Richard Gabbert, Taylor Asher, and Landon Zinda, who all bring different regulatory and policy expertise to the table. Former CFTC chair and Willkie senior counsel Chris Giancarlo voiced his support for Selig’s new role in a March 3 X post, calling him a “protégé” and expressing excitement about the team’s direction.

Major US asset management firm Grayscale Investments has filed a 19b-4 application with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to list and trade the Hedera ETF. On behalf of Grayscale, the Nasdaq Stock Exchange filed a 19b-4 filing for the Hedera ETF product. If approved, the Hedera ETF would trade on the Nasdaq exchange, like Grayscale’s other funds. Key details about the fund, such as the custodian chosen for the Hedera ETF, have not been disclosed. However, it has been reported that Coinbase, which is Grayscale’s choice for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs GBTC and ETHE, could be chosen as the custodian. Canary Capital led the HBAR filings last week by filing for an HBAR ETF. This is not Grayscale's first ETF application for altcoins, as it has previously applied for ETFs for Cardano (ADA), Dogecoin (DOGE), Solana (SOL), and XRP. Apart from popular altcoins, ETF applications have also been made for popular memecoins such as TRUMP, MELANIA, and BONK. According to Bloomberg analysts, while approval rates for XRP, Solana, and Litecoin ETFs remain high, the likelihood of memecoin ETFs receiving approval still remains uncertain. *This is not investment advice.

President Donald Trump incited a $300 billion crypto market pump on Monday following the announcement of a US crypto reserve. The same Donald Trump has now induced a $300 billion crypto market dump as his trade tariffs come into effect on March 4. Total market capitalization has crashed almost 14% over the past 36 hours or so in a plunge to $2.82 trillion from over $3.2 trillion on Sunday evening. The move has wiped out all brief gains from the pump that followed his crypto reserve announcement on March 2. Coinglass reported that more than 311,000 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours to the tune of just over a billion dollars. Trump Pump and Dump “Trump pumped it with a tweet. Trump dumped it with his tariffs. All his doing. Sad but true,” commented economist Alex Krüger on X. Meanwhile, trader and analyst ‘DonAlt’ said he guessed people came to the realization that Trump “is probably not gonna be able to push this through Congress overnight.” “Tomorrow, tariffs — 25% on Canada and 25% on Mexico,” Trump said during a press conference at the White House on March 3. “And that’ll start… What they have to do is build their car plants, frankly, and other things in the United States, in which case they have no tariffs,” he added. Trump also signed an executive order on Monday raising tariffs on imports from China to 20%, up from 10%. The Trump dump has also hammered stock markets, with the S&P 500 erasing a whopping $1.5 trillion in market cap. What just happened? The Dow just went from being up +300 points at the open to falling as much as -1,100 points in hours. Between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM ET, the S&P 500 erased a whopping $1.5 trillion in market cap.

Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market have shown strong recovery, with Bitcoin surpassing $93,000 earlier today after an increase of nearly 10% in the past 24 hours. The surge follows the announcement of a US crypto strategic reserve, which is expected to include major digital assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and ADA. The news has fueled optimism in the market, pushing Bitcoin back above the $90,000 level. As Bitcoin’s price movement gains momentum, analysts appear to have been closely examining the ongoing correction phase within the current bullish cycle. Related Reading: Bitcoin Reclaims Key Levels And Faces Resistance At $97K – Can It Break $100K This Week? CryptoQuant analyst Grizzly has shared insights into Bitcoin’s historical price behavior, suggesting that the asset may be repeating past patterns that preceded significant rallies. If these trends hold, BTC could be positioning itself for a major breakout in the coming months. BTC’s Historical Price Patterns and Market Outlook According to Grizzly, Bitcoin is currently in its third corrective phase within the bullish cycle that began in early 2023. This pattern has been observed using the UTXO Age Bands—a metric tracking how long BTC remains unmoved in wallets. Similar corrective phases took place in the summers of 2023 and 2024, each lasting around six months. During these periods, BTC experienced resistance before eventually breaking out into new price highs. Grizzly revealed that if this trend continues, BTC may remain in a consolidation phase for another two to three months, fluctuating between $80,000 and $100,000. A breakout beyond $100,000 could mark the end of the correction and potentially push BTC toward $130,000, as historical data suggests. The CryptoQuant analyst noted: Market participants should closely watch the structural dynamics of the premium bands, as a confirmed break above resistance could signal the next parabolic leg of Bitcoin’s bull market. Bitcoin’s Path to $100K: What Market Indicators Suggest Another CryptoQuant analyst, OnChainSchool, has provided further insights into BTC’s potential price movement beyond $100,000. The analyst highlights the MVRV Z-Score, a metric that tracks Bitcoin’s valuation in comparison to its historical fair value. According to the analyst. the current cooldown in the MVRV Z-Score indicates that Bitcoin could soon enter a rapid upward trajectory, similar to the price action observed in early 2024 when BTC surged past $72,000 to new all-time highs. However, unlike past cycles, the market appears to be moving at a faster pace, potentially influenced by the evolving political landscape in the US.

With increasing attention on cryptocurrency from policymakers and institutional investors, there is a likelihood that BTC could break past its previous all-time high sooner than expected. Whether this acceleration will be sustained depends on multiple factors, including regulatory developments, macroeconomic conditions, and continued market demand for Bitcoin as a hedge asset.
