- Etherās fall from grace mirrored the marketās own melancholy, as whispers of a possible U.S. government shutdown sent investors clutching their pearls š¬.

The notorious 0xa523, with its leveraged bet of 9,152 ETH (a princely $36.4 million), was unceremoniously liquidated by Hyperliquid. Blockchain seers at Lookonchain mourned the whaleās losses, now towering over $45 million, leaving our aquatic friend with a paltry $500,000. Oh, the irony! ššø
During Asian hours, Ether staggered to $3,983, while the broader crypto bazaar wilted like flowers in a drought, nervously eyeing the looming threat of a U.S. government shutdown.
