He believes the project will struggle if the liquidity isn’t there and further regulatory issues arise: “If we don’t have more liquidity, if we don’t have more clarity from regulators, and if we don’t have a lot of things working out in Cardano’s favor, I think we could see this kind of a move.” Merten believes Polygon (MATIC) and Chainlink (LINK) could also face a similar 90% correction from their all-time highs.
