Ethereum news for October 16, 2026
Ethereum fell about 6% to a two-month low after a hot CPI print added to geopolitical and macro pressure, triggering about $106M in liquidations and outsized drawdowns across altcoins. Moves by large holders and continued positioning by Wintermute have added to the pressure, while spot Ether ETFs lost $391M as a single-day rebound faded.
