The price of Ethereum’s native token Ether (ETH) careened below $1,000 on June 18 as the ongoing sell-off in the crypto market continued into the weekend.
Ether reached $975, its lowest level since January 2021, losing 80% of its value from its record high in November 2021. The decline appeared amid concerns about the Federal Reserve’s 75 basis points rate hike, a move that pushed both cryptocurrencies and stocks into a strong bear market.
