Optimism
Why Optimism is down 9.1% today
Analysis
Optimism (OP) fell 9.1% over the past 24 hours despite news that the Optimism community passed a proposal to implement OP token buybacks, intended to support the token’s value. The drop suggests the market may not have immediately priced the buyback plan as a near-term catalyst, even though the governance outcome was framed as supportive.
