#CardanoDebate Cardano began development in 2015 and was launched in 2017 by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson. Charles Hoskinson is a technology entrepreneur and mathematician from Colorado. He studied at the University of Denver and the University of Colorado Boulder. Hoskinson first got involved with cryptocurrencies in 2011, starting with mining and trading. His first professional step into the world of cryptocurrencies was in 2013 when he developed a course on Bitcoin that was attended by over 80,000 students. He was the founding chair of the education committee of the Bitcoin Foundation and founded the Cryptocurrency Research Group in 2013. Hoskinson, who helped launch the early development of Ethereum and founded the Ethereum Foundation, left these organizations to launch his own vision of a third-generation blockchain. Recognizing the scalability problem faced by traditional blockchains, the Cardano project was created in 2015 to pave a new way in blockchain.
$ADA Why is ADA called a coin and not a token? The ADA coin is the native cryptocurrency of the Cardano project, developed on its own blockchain, which is why. It was named after the 19th-century mathematician Ada Lovelace, and at the time of its IPO, ADA was valued at $0.02. The ADA coin is at the center of the entire Cardano ecosystem. It is used for various functions, such as network security and transaction payments. Every ADA holder also has a stake in the Cardano network. ADA stored in a wallet can be delegated to a staking pool to earn rewards (for participating in the successful governance of the network) or a special staking pool can be created to increase the likelihood of the pool earning rewards. Over time, it is planned that ADA will be available for various applications and services on the Cardano platform.
SharpLink Gaming, Inc. announced the acquisition of 176,271 ETH worth $462.9 million. SharpLink is currently the largest holder of publicly traded Ethereum, second only to the Ethereum Foundation. SharpLink is the first company whose shares are listed on the Nasdaq that has made Ethereum (ETH) the foundation of its treasury strategy. This move reflects its decision to adopt ETH as its primary reserve asset. According to the press release, the company raised funds through a PIPE deal dated May 26, 2025. Then, from May 30 to June 12, it sold shares through a $1 billion ATM stock program, raising about $79 million. Most of the funds were used to purchase Ethereum. SharpLink generated an 11.8% increase in ETH per share since June 2, 2025. Over 95% of SharpLink's ETH is used in staking and liquid staking. This means that ETH helps secure the Ethereum network while simultaneously earning rewards. Rob Fitiann, CEO of SharpLink Gaming, believes this reflects a strong confidence in the role of Ethereum in the future of digital commerce and decentralized applications. He added, "Our decision to make ETH our primary reserve asset reflects a deep conviction in its role as programmable, income-generating digital capital." Joseph Lubin, Chairman of SharpLink Gaming, co-founder of Ethereum, and CEO of Consensys, stated that SharpLink's bold strategy regarding ETH marks an important turning point in how institutions begin to embrace Ethereum. He noted that this step comes at a crucial time as the U.S. Congress is working on important
$BTC Tracking the actions of whales is important because their movements often predict significant price shifts. Such holders can influence market sentiment, trigger waves of liquidity, and signal trust or caution from institutional investors. The current pause in activity may indicate a wait-and-see position amid unstable macroeconomics or uncertainty in technical analysis. Although the recent increase in the number of whales hinted at a new wave of accumulation, the halt in this trend shows that major players may not be ready to inject more capital at current levels. This could limit growth potential in the short term. Bitcoin remains above the cloud, but momentum is weakening. The chart shows that the price of BTC continues to move above the green cloud, confirming a bullish market structure. The upper boundary of the cloud (Leading Span A) is rising, and the green zone ahead indicates the continuation of the upward trend. The cloud itself is currently acting as a potential support zone. The exit from the red area confirmed that after consolidation, the initiative has been taken over by buyers.
#IsraelIranConflict The conflict may lead to Israel losing $400 billion over the next decade, experts calculate. For Palestinians, these costs may be so high that they could undermine the possibility of establishing an independent state, experts emphasize. For Israel, 90% of the economic shock will be related to a slowdown in productivity growth. According to experts, the investment climate in the country is already weakened, and the mobilization of the population has led to a shrinking labor market. Palestinian economic activity, in turn, may decrease by one third. This will be caused by the destruction of property, the cessation of the use of Palestinian labor in Israel, and an increase in trade restrictions. In recent years, issues of sovereignty have prevailed over economic ones in public opinion. "However, now the economic difficulties caused by this war, combined with recent political upheavals among both peoples, are likely to change this position. In particular, the urgent need for the Israeli side for new investments and technology transfer, as well as the Palestinians' need for reconstruction, reinvestment, and interaction with the world may give new life to such approaches."
According to people familiar with the situation, the international division of Ant Group Co., backed by Jack Ma, plans to apply for licenses for stablecoins in Singapore and Hong Kong. Singapore-based Ant International will submit an application for a stablecoin issuer license in Hong Kong as soon as the city’s stablecoin ordinance comes into effect in August, the people, who requested not to be named as the matter is private, said. The company also plans to request the corresponding permission in Luxembourg, they added. This move is aimed at strengthening the blockchain operation of the fintech firm that underpins its cross-border payment and treasury management services, the sources said. Ant processed over $1 trillion in global transactions last year, a third of which was processed by its blockchain platform Whale, they stated.$BTC
#TrumpTariffs "The Trump administration is lawfully exercising the powers granted by the executive branch of the Constitution and Congress to address national emergencies related to the ongoing trade deficit in goods and illegal drug trafficking. The U.S. Court of Appeals' order to stay is a long-awaited event," said White House spokesperson Kush Desai in a statement.
In 2017, a large number of people realized that BTC is not the only cryptocurrency, and perhaps not even the most promising. Altcoins can pose a real competition to BTC. Bloggers, news channels, and media fueled the hype around cryptocurrencies, but that was just the beginning. At the beginning of 2017, a law was passed legalizing cryptocurrency payments in Japan, which became a starting point for the surge in asset prices. In August, one of the most famous Bitcoin forks – Bitcoin Cash – was launched. These events allowed for an impressive period of growth to begin. In December 2017, the price of Bitcoin reached its historical maximum, exceeding $19,000 per unit. Also in December, trading in Bitcoin futures started on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. This set the backdrop for BTC to reach a momentary mark of $20,000.
Greed 🥴 is when you want to earn as much as possible and stop noticing that the risks start to rise. Example: a trader holds a position even after the market has signaled a reversal. We hope that the price will rise again, and at some point, we lose everything. Or they open a huge position, hoping for quick money, but do not take into account the risks and volatility. How to fight this? 1▶️Set goals: Determine in advance how much you want to earn from a specific trade, and as soon as you reach that goal — close it. Do not let greed control you. 2▶️Consider risks: Always assess the risks before opening a position. Do not risk everything for one trade. Real-life example: One trader recently opened too large positions amid the rise of LTC, hoping for the continuation of the trend. When the price began to correct, he refused to close the trade, hoping that the price would go up again. As a result, he lost almost all his profit, and the account ended up in the negative. This was a classic case where greed consumed common sense.
The weekly RSI has reached a record low, indicating the oversold condition of ETH. This often signals a potential trend reversal. Over the past month, the ETH/BTC pair has already recovered by 30%, which could serve as an early confirmation of the reversal. Volatility of ETH/BTC The volatility of the ETH/BTC trading pair. Source: Axel Bitblaze Axel also emphasized the interest of institutional investors in Ethereum. Recently, SharpLink Gaming raised nearly $500 million to purchase ETH. Considering all these factors, Axel predicts that ETH could reach $9,000 by early 2026: "By December 2025, ETH could be trading in the range of $6,000 to $6,500. The last upward surge is expected in the first quarter of 2026, and ETH will likely trade above $9,000 before a sharp decline."
When working with bots, it is necessary to adhere to risk management. With the bot, I implemented it as follows: - at the beginning of trading, I enter with the entire available amount, hiding the stop behind the line, which is 33% for me. Yes, this is a lot and painful, but money for meat is needed. Then, upon reaching 0.8%, I close part of the position and move the stop to 'break-even'. The size of the position I close depends linearly on the leverage. If the leverage is large, I close more; if it is small, I close less. Then I hold the position until a sell signal. If the trade is successful, I set aside the amount I can lose in the next trade. If the next trade is successful, I add to the reserve; if not, I take money from the reserve. The success rate of the bot is 80%, so the probability of two unsuccessful trades is not very high, but in life, there can be three unsuccessful trades in a row at 33% of the entry amount. The number of 84% successful trades should not be misleading, as one unsuccessful trade takes away 33% immediately, while most successful trades bring in 5% or less, and only a small number of trades bring from 100% to 300%. The leverage size varies from 2 to 23, depending on how far the stop is. Of course, one can enter with a small part of the deposit with leverage up to liquidation; however, this strategy, although it increases the number of successful trades, brings in less profit.
$XRP Lack of experience - this is a problem faced by all beginners who are taking their first steps in the market. We open the trading terminal - and everything there is new to us. We see the price chart and observe how this price moves. But we may have never seen what a single day of trading looks like on the D1 timeframe. We were taught in introductory courses to look at how quickly the price jumps - and this amuses us and creates excitement. But we never transitioned to larger timeframes because there, at least, it seems uninteresting. Nothing jumps there; it just stands still. Perhaps if we had been taught on larger timeframes, we would understand that the price can sharply move a large number of points. But at those moments, we didn't even suspect it. We made trades with huge volumes for a small number of points and believed that it would always be this way, and that’s how the market behaves. However, when situations occurred where one candle on the chart was the size of the entire monitor screen - it shocked us, and joy turned into despair and hopelessness. Why do I write about this so easily? I have gone through all of this myself.
