Cardano and XRP Whale Activity Hits Multi-Month High Despite Recent Pullback

Bitcoin’s drop to $114,600 during the early Asian session on Monday triggered a liquidation spree, but Cardano and XRP whales continued to accumulate despite the crypto market downturn. As the market corrected, XRP and Cardano are down 3.7% and 6.2% in the past 24 hours, CoinGecko data shows. "The recent correction from the last two weeks of exuberance is healthy for the markets,” Max Shannon, senior associate at Bitwise Europe, told Decrypt. On-chain data provides strong evidence for this contr...

Why XRP Is Dumping While Cardano Is Pumping: Analysis

Crypto volatility is back. But while most of the majors are pulling back, with Bitcoin leading the way, there’s one coin going off-script: Charles Hoskinson’s Cardano, believe it or not. It’s been this way for a while now, but in case it wasn’t obvious, Bitcoin is much more sensitive to macro winds these days than it was pre-COVID. And that’s only going to become increasingly the case as big banks and large Wall Street funds enter the crypto market. July's Producer Price Index, or PPI as it’s mo...

Cardano Hits 5-Month High As Bitcoin, Ethereum Hover Near Record Price

Cardano has jumped 10.7% over the past 24 hours and briefly broke past $1, marking a five-month high for the token. It comes as Bitcoin set a new all-time high on Wednesday, and Ethereum is closing in on its peak, just 3.6% away from breaking its own all-time high at the time of writing. Broadly, the crypto market is trading fairly flat on the day despite Bitcoin and Ethereum's recent surges. Of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, Cardano's native token ADA is the biggest winn...

Cardano Founder Explains Why Some ADA Holders Can't Yet Get Glacier Airdrop

A software limitation in Ledger hardware wallets is preventing some Cardano users from participating in the Midnight Foundation’s Glacier Drop, a two-month-long airdrop distributing NIGHT tokens across eight blockchain ecosystems. The issue stems from the handling of message signing for Cardano. In a post on X, Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson explained that the Ledger’s implementation of CIP-8—a protocol for securely signing messages—limits messages to just 31 bytes. The Glacier Drop is 251...

Bitcoin Cash Breaks Out, Cardano Breaks Down as Crypto Traders Hold Breath on Fed: Analysis

The effects of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran seems to have already been digested by traders as markets today cool down after big jumps earlier this week. Only two coins (Pi and Maple Finance) are up more than 10% with the average price appreciation in the top 100 coins by market cap being around 2%, and the average dip around that mark too. But crypto traders are pushing upwards: total cryptocurrency market cap across the sector is up to $3.283 trillion, a modest 0.81% daily increase. Tr...
