admin

Fundstrat head of research Tom Lee argues Ether’s recent slump should be seen as “attractive” as its fundamentals remain strong, and that it has only fallen due to a lack of leverage and a flight to precious metals.  The first quarter of 2026 is shaping up to be Ether’s (ETH) third-worst Q1 in history, with the asset down 21% so far this year, according to CoinGlass.  However, Lee said the price drop has come at a time when network on-chain activity and fundamentals have continued to grow.
