$Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR.US)$ There are some in...

There are some in the crypto community who are pointing to some rather promising catalysts as reasons why Ethereum probably should be up over the past 24 hours. I'd argue that the recent news that BitMine, an Ethereum treasury firm, bought more than 82,000 ETH tokens over the past week should be a big enough catalyst to offset bearish sentiment.

However, two key drivers do appear to be leading the charge lower for Ethereum today.

First on the list is a high-profile hack that was just announced, which affected approximately $128 million of crypto on Ethereum chains. A Balancer exploit led to this theft, which accentuates existing uncertainty around security for this massive network.

Second, calls from some intriguing talking heads in the crypto space (this time Robert Kiyosaki) do appear to be playing into investor sentiment right now.

Where will Ethereum head from here?
Given the size and importance of Ethereum's ecosystem to the overall cryptocurrency sector, I'd argue this token will remain a mainstay for most long-term investors seeking some amount of exposure to the long-term growth potential and innovation blockchain technology provides.
