Hello Leo-Family,

The crypto markets have taken a hit today with both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) trading lower. Bitcoin is down by 3.33%, and Ethereum has taken a bigger hit, falling by 6% below the psychologically relevant $2,000 price mark. This has led to concerns about the potential late consequences of the Shanghai update and sell-offs from stakers.

Despite the market downturn, Coinbase has revealed its layer-2 network, Base, which is seen as a "watershed moment" and a "huge confidence vote" for the Ethereum blockchain. The network, which is driven by Optimism and secured on Ethereum, is currently in its testnet phase and seeks to become a network for creating decentralized applications on the blockchain.

This move is significant, as it could set a precedent for cryptocurrency businesses and financial institutions to use Ethereum as their preferred settlement layer. It is a massive vote of confidence for Ethereum, according to experts.

While the price of Ethereum has undergone a significant correction recently, whales have been purchasing at every decline. ETH whale activity reached a new level recently, with the fifth-largest accumulation day in a year recorded. This suggests that despite the market downturn, there is still confidence in the long-term potential of Ethereum.

Don't forget to give your suggestion on the ETH price and reshare this post for the maximum winning chance.
