Why Cardano is down 1.5% today

Analysis

Cardano (ADA) slipped about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as traders digested news that the network is preparing “major node changes” tied to the upcoming Dijkstra era, which can introduce near-term uncertainty around implementation timelines and operational adjustments. U.Today reported the protocol upgrade work and node changes, and the market reaction appeared mildly risk-off despite the longer-term upgrade narrative.
