- Ethereum traded at $2,519 on August 28, 2026, posting a positive return of 10.6% over the last seven days and 34.3% over the last 30 days.
- Spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded net inflows of $1.185 billion across eight consecutive sessions between August 17 and August 26.
- The derivatives market recorded total liquidations of $149.49 million over the last 24 hours, of which $106.48 million corresponded to short positions.
