ATOM rose by 4% on Wednesday after Cosmos executives terminated EVM development to concentrate on blockchain interoperability by advancing its own IBC protocol.

The news was met well by investors as it sees Cosmos extend its position as a standalone blockchain with its own tech stacks it can rely on.

The wider market is also up on Wednesday as investors begin to question whether the market is entering a long-awaited “altcoin season,” with a number of data points suggesting capital is shifting from BTC to altcoins like ATOM.
