Why Chainlink is down 5.7% today
Analysis
Chainlink (LINK) fell 5.7% over the past 24 hours despite supportive headlines, suggesting the decline wasn’t driven by the day’s news flow. Cointelegraph and Decrypt reported that Kraken plans to migrate wrapped Bitcoin infrastructure from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP, a positive adoption signal, while BeInCrypto highlighted Chainlink’s leadership in RWA tokenization rankings—neither of which clearly explains a near-term selloff.
