Chainlink
Why Chainlink is down 5.2% today
Analysis
Chainlink (LINK) fell 5.2% over the past 24 hours despite positive adoption headlines, suggesting the news wasn’t enough to offset broader selling pressure. Cointelegraph and Decrypt reported that Kraken is switching its wrapped Bitcoin infrastructure to Chainlink CCIP amid a “LayerZero exodus,” which is constructive for Chainlink but may have been treated as incremental rather than immediately price-supportive.
