ETH slips below $2,000 as Buterin sells 6,183 ETH; leverage and ETF outflows bite

Ethereum dropped under $2,000 as large holder activity drew attention, with Lookonchain tracking Vitalik Buterin selling 6,183 ETH ($13.24M) over the past three days at an average of $2,140. Additional insider sales, including Aave's Stani Kulechov, coincided with cascading long liquidations, about $2.5B in US spot ETH ETF outflows, and a broader risk-off backdrop.
