Ethereum extends losing streak as crypto market drifts down: Oct 26, 2026
Ethereum extended its losing streak alongside Bitcoin and XRP as the broader crypto market drifted down, marking its worst October in eight years. It later recovered some losses as fears of US-Iran strikes faded, though macro headwinds were cited as limiting further recovery. BitMine added 10,452 ETH while its share repurchases approached $400M.
