The post Ethereum Price Now Targets $2,875 as Vitalik Buterin Responds to Cardano Founder with 800x Update appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum price dips below $1,800 lagging behind Bitcoin to start the week, but Vitalik’s Layer-Zero update renews optimism for ETH’s long-term growth, after recent criticisms from Cardano Founder, Charles Hoskinson. Ethereum (ETH) Lags as Crypto Market Leans Towards Positive Start to the Week Ethereum (ETH) has opened the week on a weak footing, sliding 2.9% to $1,783.53 as broader crypto markets flashed mixed signals. Meanwhile Bitcoin (BTC) posted a strong 1% gain to reclaim $95,100. The current data shwos Ethereum lagged behind, extending a weekend correction that now sees ETH trading near the lower end of its 24-hour range between $1,782.07 and $1,848.73.
