Ethereum has repeatedly failed to hold above $2,500, so a $2,480-or-higher 5 p.m. EDT price is a meaningful underdog.
Ethereum is only 0.15% below $2,480, and same-day trading has already crossed the threshold, keeping a qualifying finish live. However, most reported September 1 prices were below the cutoff, recent rallies struggled above $2,500, and a large exchange deposit adds selling risk. Strong ETF inflows provide support, but the immediate price action makes a $2,480-or-higher fixing a meaningful underdog.
