Why Chainlink is down 1.4% in the last hour
Analysis
Chainlink (LINK) slipped 1.4% over the past hour despite a positive headline, suggesting the move was more consistent with short-term profit-taking or broader market softness than a LINK-specific catalyst. Cointelegraph reported that Kraken is switching from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP, which is supportive for Chainlink’s cross-chain messaging adoption, but the market reaction in the last hour did not translate into immediate upside for LINK.
