Why Cosmos is up 1.3% in the last hour
Analysis
Cosmos (ATOM) ticked up about 1.3% over the last hour as traders reacted to headlines around Cosmos Labs urging some Cosmos-based EVM chains to halt after reported attacks on KiiChain and TAC, which put the ecosystem’s security response in focus. Coverage noting the validator halt request following an EVM-related breach and reported losses may have driven short-term positioning and volatility across Cosmos-linked assets.
