Cardano's ADA Price Surge Signals Potential for Further Gains
According to Cointelegraph, the native token of the Cardano network, ADA, has experienced a significant price increase, marking a potential end to its prolonged downtrend. Since June 22, ADA has risen over 70%, with a notable 75% gain recorded between June 22 and July 18. This upward trajectory saw ADA bottom out at $0.50 in June and reach a 20-week high of $0.89 on Friday, indicating a strong recovery.
The recent rally has been fueled by multiple bullish signals, including the behavior of the Bollinger Bands volatility indicator. Historically, when ADA's price touches the upper band of the Bollinger Bands, it suggests an imminent rise in volatility, potentially leading to substantial price rallies. Previous instances in 2021, 2022, and 2024 saw ADA's price increase by 1,500%, 117%, and 300%, respectively. The current squeeze of the Bollinger Bands, coupled with ADA's price touching the upper band, adds weight to the possibility of another significant rally.
Despite the recent gains, ADA's price remains nearly four times lower than its all-time high of $3.10 achieved in 2021. However, the token has shown multiple bullish signals across various time frames, indicating that the rally may continue. ADA has broken out of a bull flag on the weekly chart, converting key resistance levels, such as the 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages, into support. The measured target for this bull flag is $2.70, representing a potential 216% increase from the current price.
Further supporting the bullish outlook is the formation of a golden cross, where the 50-day SMA crossed above the 200-day SMA, reinforcing the continuation of the uptrend. Additionally, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator has produced a bullish cross, suggesting strengthening trend momentum. The weekly relative strength index (RSI) indicates that ADA has room to grow before reaching overheated levels, similar to previous cycle tops in 2018, 2021, and December 2024.
Despite the daily RSI being at 80, historical data suggests ADA could rally an additional 130% to reach $1.80, according to analyst Deezy. This analysis is based on past performance when ADA's daily RSI hit similar levels. However, readers are reminded that this article does not constitute investment advice, and all trading decisions should be made after conducting thorough research, as investments carry inherent risks.
JPMorgan Advocates Tokenized Bank Deposits Over Stablecoins
According to Odaily, JPMorgan analysts have indicated that several regulatory bodies, including the Bank of England, are favoring tokenized bank deposits over stablecoins. This preference is due to tokenized deposits settling at face value and aligning more closely with the principle of fiat currency singularity. Despite stablecoins offering advantages in liquidity and convenience, JPMorgan is currently testing a permissioned token deposit product named JPMD on the Base platform.
4 things to know about Trump's plan for a 'crypto strategic reserve'
President Trump has announced plans for a "Crypto Strategic Reserve," which would set up the United States to buy and sell cryptocurrency and could be a game changer for the industry. In posts on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump said a reserve was in the works as part of his executive order on digital assets issued in January. He said the reserve is slated to hold five cryptocurrencies — bitcoin, ether, XRP, solana and cardano. After a record-setting 2024, many analysts believe bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could see another big surge this year. The prospect of a reserve is a major step in Trump's vision to establish the U.S. as the crypto capital of the world — which was one of his promises during his bid for president last year. 1.The U.S. already has strategic stockpiles of other assets. The U.S. already has several strategic stockpiles, including military and medical equipment. The idea is that the government can tap into these special stashes in times of need. 2.The reserve would hold five types of cryptocurrency. 3.A senator's bill outlined how a federal strategic reserve could work. Trump has not released more details on the plans for a crypto strategic reserve. But a few proposals have been put forward about what it could look like. Last year, A Republican Sen. introduced a bill to establish a bitcoin strategic reserve, directing the federal government to buy 1 million bitcoins — worth more than $86 billion at today's prices — over the course of five years.The reserve would hold five types of cryptocurrency. 4.Trump has ties to crypto and has prominent supporters in the industry.
XRP trades at $3.27 (+10.8% in 24h), reaching multi-year highs amid ETF developments and regulatory optimism. The rally has triggered significant capital inflows and heightened institutional interest.

Binance opens the doors to Islamic finance with the new crypto staking service Sharia Earn, bringing faith-based investors closer to digital markets through certified and transparent tools. Sharia Earn: cryptocurrency staking on Binance compliant with the principles of Islamic finance With the introduction of Sharia Earn, Binance proposes a unique model that combines Islamic finance and decentralized finance. This financial product has been specifically designed to respect the prohibition of interest (riba) and reduce excessive uncertainty (gharar), which are pillars of Islamic law. Confirming the compliance of the service is the certification from Amanie Advisors, an independent Sharia advisory authority. Furthermore, Binance ensures with Sharia Earn that the invested funds are directed exclusively towards halal digital assets, meaning permitted by Islamic law. The product offers users a new opportunity to earn passive income through assets like BNB, ETH and SOL, staying within religious parameters and maintaining transparency and control over risks and operations. Sharia Certification: the role of Amanie Advisors The certificazione Sharia plays a central role in the success and reliability of Sharia Earn. According to Binance, the guidance of consulenti islamici di Amanie Advisors has allowed the staking products to be adapted to the needs of Muslim believers. The experts have also carefully evaluated the structuring of the funds and the profit-sharing mechanisms, ensuring clarity and respect for ethical practices. Every part of the Sharia Earn offering, from the prodotti BNB bloccati (Locked Products) to the staking of ETH and SOL, has undergone a meticulous examination. This occurred under the aegis of the wakala contract, an institution of Islamic finance that defines the roles of the operators (in this case Binance) in relation to the investors, specifying the duties and methods of capital utilization in accordance with religious norms. Launch countries: focus on Middle East, South Asia, and North Africa The access to Sharia Earn is not global, but carefully selected. Binance has chosen an initial wave of priority markets where the demand for Islamic financial products is high and growing. According to the details provided by the company, the service will debut in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Egypt, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, and over twenty nations across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and North Africa. Furthermore, this selection of countries represents an initial test to evaluate the impact, safety, and social acceptance of the product before any potential future expansions of coverage. Binance therefore reserves the possibility to expand the service based on user response and regulatory developments. Key characteristics of Sharia Earn: transparency and compliance with Islamic law Passive profitability through the staking mechanism on selected digital assets Absence of interest: every return is generated avoiding riba, in line with Islamic doctrine Risk management: structure designed to limit gharar and ensure clarity on investments Independent evaluation of all products by Sharia experts, through wakala-type agreements Halal asset: only cryptocurrencies and compliant projects are included in the offering, after evaluation by Amanie Advisors The structure of Sharia Earn is thus based on the main staking products of Binance Earn – such as BNB Locked Products, staking ETH, and staking SOL – respecting the principle of transparency towards customers and maintaining compliance with the religious and ethical rules of Sharia. Inclusivity and innovation in the global crypto landscape With the launch of Sharia Earn, Binance consolidates its commitment to financial inclusion. For many Muslim users, the lack of tools truly compliant with Islamic rules has represented a significant obstacle to the adoption of cryptocurrencies. Now, however, the platform offers an access point that respects the sensitivities and values of millions of believers. This evolution also highlights how the transition towards decentralized finance is not incompatible with ethical and religious rules. On the contrary, the collaboration between Sharia experts and technologists allows for the creation of innovative products, capable of appealing to a broader and more diverse audience. The result is greater trust in digital assets and the possibility of integrating them both into daily life and local legal frameworks. Future prospects for Binance and digital Islamic finance The arrival of a product like Sharia Earn could mark a turning point for the crypto sector, particularly in regions where the demand for compliant solutions is constantly increasing. Binance’s decisive step represents an important signal both to other operators and to regulators: the path towards a truly global digital finance involves inclusion and respect for cultural and religious diversity. Furthermore, the involvement of independent advisors and the strict adherence to compliance demonstrate how it is possible to integrate technology, transparency, and traditional values without compromising on security and regulatory solidity. Impact of Sharia Earn: accessibility, ethics, and responsible digitalization The presentation of Sharia Earn by Binance is not just a business matter, but a step forward towards accessible, ethical, and responsible finance. Now millions of users interested in digital assets but bound by specific religious rules can finally invest with peace of mind and participate in fintech innovation. For those who look with interest at the crypto world without wanting to give up their values, Sharia Earn represents a concrete opportunity. This launch also suggests to competitors the need to respond to the growing demand for customized products sensitive to different identities. In this way, financial digitalization can truly become an inclusive and shared opportunity.
