Why Cardano is down 1.0% in the last hour

Analysis

Cardano (ADA) slipped about 1.0% over the past hour as traders appeared to de-risk ahead of a closely watched protocol change, with U.Today reporting a major hard fork is set to go live within hours. ADA also faced additional uncertainty after CoinDesk reported Cardano is handing core development to outside teams as part of a decentralization push, a shift that can prompt short-term caution around execution and coordination.
