Why Optimism is down 4.2% today
Analysis
Optimism (OP) fell 4.2% over the past 24 hours even as Cointelegraph reported that Optimism passed a buyback proposal intended to bolster the OP token. The drop suggests the market didn’t treat the governance news as an immediate catalyst for upside, with price action moving lower despite the announcement.
