AWS Outages Impact Major Websites, But Ethereum Remains Stable.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) experienced a minor outage in the US, but it did not significantly impact the Ethereum network nodes, which largely rely on AWS hosting.

Additionally, a significant portion of the deposits made by the Lido pool is currently underwater. Over 16.5 million Ethereum is currently staked, which is approximately 14% of the total supply.
