$ADA A ADA's rise occurred during a week marked by a series of favorable news for the crypto sector, including the election of Donald Trump as president of the USA and interest rate cuts promoted by the Federal Reserve on Thursday. These events fueled optimism in the crypto market, but the announcement by Hoskinson, made during a podcast on Friday, attracted even more attention and gave an extra boost to ADA.
Hoskinson explained in his podcast that he will be dedicating more time in Washington D.C., working alongside lawmakers to promote and facilitate robust and inclusive crypto policy in the United States.
#CardanoDebate The cryptocurrency market witnessed an impressive rise of the ADA cryptocurrency from Cardano, after founder Charles Hoskinson announced his involvement in shaping cryptocurrency policies in the United States.
Amid this movement, the price of ADA surged 35% in the last 24 hours, even surpassing Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies, reaching the level of 58 cents for the first time since April.
This increase in open contracts, an indicator of new bets and capital entering the asset, reflects the expectation of high volatility and growth potential of Cardano, with investors betting on appreciation driven by Hoskinson's political initiatives.
Cryptocurrency analyst Dan Gambardello further raised expectations, stating that ADA could rise to US$ 13, comparing its trajectory to Ethereum in the last bull cycle. According to him, the Plomin Upgrade, which will make Cardano the most decentralized blockchain in the Top 10, could lead the token to an appreciation of up to 5,800%.
$ETH A week of joy after Ethereum (ETH) managed to achieve a significant appreciation in the market, but the devastating attack by Hamas on Israel - which provoked a fierce retaliation from Israel and raised fears of a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza - the immediate shock that the attack had on the markets seems to be fading.
However, considering the enormous impact that instability in the Middle East can have on the global economy, a pressing concern arises for investors.
$BTC The digital world suffers from global events, the behavior of the major world economies sets the rules, and we digital investors suffer because of it. We were excited about the recent highs, now the conflict between Israel and Iran arises and Bitcoin starts to fall again along with the Stablecoins.
#IsraelIranConflict The conflict between Israel and Iran occurred after Iran announced on Thursday (12) that it would take retaliatory measures against the resolution approved by the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN's atomic agency, which considers Iran in violation of its nuclear obligations.
The regime of the ayatollahs announced that it will inaugurate a uranium enrichment plant and install advanced centrifuges at another of its facilities.
In a statement, the IDF claimed that the preventive attack is necessary because Iran would have enough enriched uranium to build several nuclear bombs in a few days.
$BTC Bitcoin (BTC) moves away from $110,000 as it eyes tensions in the Middle East; see what is affecting cryptocurrencies today.
On this Thursday (12), bitcoin (BTC) registers a drop of about 2%, priced close to $107,000, which negatively influences the main global cryptocurrencies that are also falling.
In the traditional market, the closing in Asia was negative. Meanwhile, the opening in Europe and Wall Street futures are also operating in decline today.
While the macroeconomic scenario has some relief, the geopolitical landscape is not the best. This is because, despite progress in the trade agreement between China and the United States, global tensions have increased.
#TrumpTariffs The American president Donald Trump announced a mass import tariff plan last week, which would have turned the global economic order and long-standing trade relations between the United States and its allies upside down.
But Trump's plan – or at least a significant part of it – has been frozen. The president suspended the tariff increase for most countries for 90 days. And, at the same time, he is focused on maintaining a trade war against China.
In an escalation that dragged on for more than a week, tariffs against the Asian country were increased by Trump until they reached a level of 145%, following retaliation from Beijing.
$ETH A expectation is positive for Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency in the market, with analysts pointing to potential to break the barrier of US$ 3,000.

But is it worth putting all your savings into a digital currency? First of all, you need to understand that this market is profitable; however, it will depend on your choice of currency and your composure because, at a certain moment, you may gain a lot, but at another, you may suffer from some devaluations, since volatility is one of the characteristics of digital currencies.

#BigTechStablecoin A total capitalization of the stablecoin market has increased substantially, recently surpassing US$ 200 billion, according to data collected by DefiLlama.
The demand for stablecoins has steadily increased over the past year as the cryptocurrency market recovered from recent lows, with a significant uptick following Donald Trump's victory in the US elections.
Stablecoins serve as a bridge between cryptocurrencies and fiat currency, and enjoy growing popularity in developing countries. In countries with unstable currencies and less developed banking systems, stablecoins can serve as a safe asset and an affordable, low-cost payment method. Sometimes, stablecoins can also serve as a place for participants in the digital asset market to park excess funds between investments.
This trend becomes clear when considering the relative market capitalizations of the two largest stablecoins (USDT and USDC) compared to the two largest public cryptocurrencies (BTC and ETH). As the broader cryptocurrency asset market declines, the share of stablecoins in the market relative to cryptocurrencies in general tends to increase significantly.
