$ETH
Ethereum is seeing a somewhat deeper pullback than BTC, but derivatives activity remains extremely active. ETH trades at $1,878.70 with a $226.70B market cap. Current open interest is around $26.9B, while 24-hour futures volume is near $46B, far above spot turnover of roughly $2.1B. That makes leverage an important part of current price discovery. Ethereum also still hosts roughly $148B in stablecoin liquidity, giving the network an unusually deep capital base. For me, the more interesting question is whether ETH can reclaim the $1,900 area while spot demand begins to absorb derivatives-led selling.
