The crypto reached a high of $1,671.13 and a low of $1,632.57 over the same time period.

ETH’s 24-hour trading volume is also in the red zone and currently stands at $8,393,890,281 after a more than 4% decrease since yesterday. In terms of market cap, ETH stands at $8,393,890,281.
In related news, the on-chain analysis platform Lookonchain took to Twitter today to share some interesting metrics about ETH. In a previous post made on February 16 of this year, Lookonchain posted about a mysterious fund pouring money into the crypto market despite the prices of BTC and ETH dropping.\
This address withdrew about 155 million USDC from Circle and then transferred it to exchanges since February 10. In their newest post, Lookonchain made an interesting observation about these transactions.
According to the post, the fund ceased withdrawing funds from Circle on February 16. This is very interesting as the price of ETH also stopped rising after this happened.
