The price of ether – the cryptocurrency of the ethereum network – managed to recover later in the session, reaching $7.88 at 17:10 UTC, additional Poloniex data reveals. In spite of this improvement, ETH followed a steady, downward movement during the day, peaking when it opened the session at $8.40.
Ether prices have been encountering headwinds recently as their platform has dealt with a series of technical challenges. The ethereum network has undergone a series of forks, the latest of which was unintentional and resulted in the network being split between two transaction histories for a brief period of time.
Since the Thanksgiving fork, ethereum developers say they have moved to improve existing practices in order to prevent a similar situation from occurring.
