Why Optimism is down 7.6% today

Analysis

Optimism (OP) fell 7.6% over the past 24 hours as investors reacted to reports that Coinbase’s Base is “breaking up” with Optimism/OP Stack, undermining near-term sentiment around OP’s ecosystem influence and future fee/usage capture. Decrypt and AMBCrypto both highlighted the shift away from OP Stack as a key narrative weighing on OP, despite some offsetting adoption news like Ether.fi moving its crypto card product to OP Mainnet from Scroll.
