Cardano's protracted growth sees position as Bitcoin alternative

Cardano's ADA token has been rising in price over the past seven days thanks to several interesting innovations in its blockchain. The rise took place even though Bitcoin and Ethereum took a sideways position.

CoinGecko reports that ADA has risen by 30% over the past seven days, and this is against the backdrop of minimal growth in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, whose combined increase was no more than 5%.

The data confidently shows that the volume of Cardano transactions per day is about $5.30 billion. This is comparable to Ethereum transaction volumes of $5.59 billion.

However, at the same time, Cardano's gas fees (payments made by users to offset the computing energy needed to process transactions) were around $75,400, compared to the latter's $44 million over the same period.

"One could quite easily argue that the NFT market has found a gas-light way to transact, and that is the Cardano blockchain," said Hayden Hughes, CEO of crypto trading social network Alpha Impact.

"Many have argued that it's only a matter of time before gas fees and congestion clog up the Cardano blockchain, leading to high gas fees, but despite the $5.31 billion in daily activity we have not yet seen this."

Difficult path to the top

Cardano has been quite volatile in recent months.

For a time, the token ranked third among all cryptocurrencies in the world, behind only Bitcoin and Ethereum, and its combined market value was approaching $100 billion amid optimism about the addition of smart contract capabilities.

But the hype from the news subsided and the token corrected 50% below its September record.

Despite this deep correction, the token managed to win a lot of loyal fans, as well as enemies. The latter includes Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, who tweeted six months ago that "I spoke to twenty of the smartest people I know in the space, and zero of them saw Cardano having traction with devs."

Probably, the attitude towards this digital asset is largely determined by the support of other altcoins and bitcoin. This is confirmed by the words of Antoni Trenchev: "ADA's critics say there's too much talk and not enough action. Cardano's position as Ethereum's nemesis was somewhat usurped in 2021 by the rise of rival blockchains Solana and Avalanche... clearly, there's a passionate Cardano community eager for it to succeed, otherwise it wouldn't be a top-five crypto."

The Cardano project is really actively developing at the moment. Its blockchain system includes decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and its own metaverse that unites its adherents into a single community. Such progress in scaling benefits the token by improving its prospects, according to Asian markets expert Vijay Ayyar.

Trenchev also spoke more than once about the interesting future of the token thanks to such a developed infrastructure.

"The planned launch of the first DEX – decentralized exchange – on the Cardano blockchain comes after it's already established a presence in NFTs," Trenchev shares. "To top it off, Cardano is stealing some attention away from Decentraland and The Sandbox with news of the first Cardano metaverse," he says, referring to his victory in the information field, which is the main advantage of the token's competitiveness. It looks like we will see growth in the near future.

The success of Cardano confirms that one of the basic rules of organizing an all-in-one service structure continues to apply even in times of globalization. The token has great potential and is a strong competitor to "fiat" altcoins.

比特幣未能守住$108,000的關口,跌至較為可接受的$107,000左右區域。以太坊也在月底顯示出疲弱跡象,無法保持在$2,500上方,回落至$2,460。

本週可能影響加密市場的關鍵事件

比特幣已經回落到108,000美元以下,而以太坊在週末短暫升至2,500美元以上後再次回落。顯然,交易者將密切關注本週即將發布的幾項宏觀經濟數據,以及在歐洲央行論壇上發表演說的央行決策者的言論。

6月30日加密貨幣市場的交易建議

比特幣和以太坊在週末持續增長,即使在主要加密貨幣接近其歷史高點的情況下,也顯示出穩定的需求。當大家都在期盼比特幣即將突破112,000美元的水平時,我發現了一些關於2025年上半年的駭客攻擊和盜竊的相當有趣的報告。

6月27日加密貨幣市場交易提示(北美交易時段)

比特幣再次嘗試回到108,000美元的水平,但未能維持並向下修正,跌破107,000美元,這一走勢可能導致該工具的更大規模拋售。 與此同時,許多專家認為比特幣很快可能會超過先前的歷史高位112,000美元,尤其是在伊朗-以色列衝突看似暫告一段落的情況下。

加密貨幣市場顯示出強勁的信心。鑑於其與美國股市的相關性——歷史高點不斷刷新——有理由期待數位資產進一步增長。

在昨天美國經濟增長疲弱的基本數據發佈後,Bitcoin 和 Ethereum 暫停了它們的上升趨勢。 然而,這並不是主要原因。

6月26日加密貨幣市場交易建議

由於市場對今年美聯儲預期的多次降息出現新的預測,比特幣和以太坊正在表現出穩定增長。美聯儲主席再次表現出溫和立場,以及特朗普批評鮑威爾的不作為,觸發了美國股市的買盤,同時也對加密貨幣市場產生影響。

比特幣旨在持續增長

昨天,比特幣繼續上漲,這源於聯邦儲備主席傑羅姆·鮑威爾對未來利率的態度明顯緩和。 他的謹慎言論——聯邦準備局將密切監控經濟數據,然後決定是否進一步降息——被市場解讀為可能放寬貨幣政策的信號。

2025年6月25日BTC/USD分析

在4小時的BTC/USD圖表中,波形模式仍然相對清晰。我們觀察到一個修正的下行形態,完成於接近$75,000的水平後,開始了一波強勁的上行走勢,可以視為衝動上升趨勢的開端。
