Why is Cardano up by 11% in the last 24 hours?

The cryptocurrency market is having an excellent start to the week, with most of the cryptocurrencies currently in the green zone.

The broader crypto market is trading in the green zone. The total cryptocurrency market cap is up by more than 5% today and currently stands close to $1.3 trillion.

Bitcoin remains the market leader, up by more than 6% over the past 24 hours. At press time, BTC is trading above the $31,500 resistance level.

Ether is also performing well, up by 7% so far today and currently trading above $1,900.

ADA, the native token of the Cardano ecosystem, is the best performer amongst the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap. ADA is up by more than 11% so far today and currently trades above $0.62 per coin.

Cardano has been performing well ahead of the network’s Vasil Hard Fork. The upgrade is expected to take place on June 29 and many expect it to massively improve the network’s scalability and performance.

Key levels to watch

The ADA/USD 4-hour chart is currently bullish as the cryptocurrency has been performing well today. The technical indicators show that ADA has been performing well in the last 24 hours.

The MACD line crossed into the positive zone over the weekend as ADA performed excellently. The 14-day relative strength index of 71 shows that ADA could soon enter the overbought region.

If the rally continues, ADA could surge past the first major resistance level at $0.668 before the end of the day. However, it would need the support of the broader market to trade above $0.720 for the first time this month.

On the flip side, ADA could drop below its 50-day EMA of $0.5605 if the bears regain control of the market.

Japanese lawmakers pass stablecoin bill to safeguard crypto investors

Japanese lawmakers on Firday passed a bill for stablecoins to protect crypto investors. The bill comes a month after the TerraUSD (UST) stablecoin crash that caused investors to lose billions of dollars as the stablecoin lost its value.

TerraUSD crash made a majority of countries think of an alternative way of legalizing cryptos. Japan being one of the biggest countries in terms of the size of its economy, has been at the forefront of drumming up crypto regulations and will be the first to craft regulations for stablecoins if the bill is signed into law.

A stablecoin is a digital asset whose value is linked to the actual asset like gold or the US dollar to maintain price stability. Currently, all stablecoins combined have a market value of about $160 billion.

What the new Japanese stablecoin Bill entails

According to the bill, stablecoins will now be recognized as virtual money tied to the Yen or any other legal tender to ensure that investors can convert them at their current prices.

In addition, the bill noted that stablecoins will only be issued by trusted firms, registered money transfer platforms, and licensed banks. However, existing assets that are backed by stablecoins like Tether and its counterparts stablecoins are not covered by the legislative act.

It’s important to note that the bill was created by Japan’s Financial Agency (FSA) and was expected to be passed by the House in late 2021. In mid-March, 2022, the parliament accepted the bill and today it has been passed officially.

Additionally, FTX Trading Ltd, a crypto exchange platform, also announced today the launch of FTX Japan which will provide services to Japanese consumers.

EGLD price drops 6% as team starts investigating suspicious activity on Maiar DEX

The price of the EGLD token, which is the native token of Elrond Network is on the decline and has dropped by more than 6% today after an announcement that the Elrond team had started investing malicious activity on its main decentralized exchange (DEX), Maiar.

At the time of writing, EGLD was trading at $72.39, down 6.01% after dropping from a daily high of $77.48.

Malicious activity investigation

Elrond Founder and CEO, Beniamin Mincu, tweeted that his team was investigating “suspicious activity” on Maiar adding that his team will be providing the update “soon.”

In a later tweet Mincu said:

“Identified the potential issue, and working on an emergency fix.”

According to the reports, the Elrond Network went offline by a way of a “scheduled maintenance” with a message on its site noting that “operations will resume shortly.” However, the exchange has been offline for more than 7 hours.

Now, the rumors are spreading fast with some Elrond supporters saying that the network might have been compromised. 

Elrond has assured its users that they will be updating them once they fix their systems.

Following the incident, both EGLD and MEX, the native token of the Maiar DEX is also down with MEX failing to recover from its significant price drop where it lost almost 90% of its value late Sunday evening.

Maiar, launched late last year, had announced a $1.29 billion liquidity incentive program to improve the activities on the new exchange platform as well as push decentralized finance (DeFi) adoption beyond the crypto space into the mainstream.

At the time of the launch, the smart contracts installed on Elrond and the ones built for Maiar were advertised as having gone through a “rigorous auditing and formal verification.”

Here’s why the Vite crypto price is soaring and what next

The Vite crypto price is in a slow recovery process as investors buy the dip. The coin is trading at $0.029, which is about 71% above the lowest level in May this year. It remains about 98% below the highest level on record. This brings its total market cap to about $27.8 million, making it a relatively small coin.

What is VITE and why is it rising?

Vite is a low-cost blockchain project that offers zero fees for web3 users. It uses a technology known as directed acrylic graph (DAG), which is a form of technology where individual transactions are linked to multiple other transactions. As such, there are no blocks of transactions in DAG networks.

As a result, Vite helps to ensure that there is instant confirmations and zero-fee transactions. At the same time, Vite has a ViteBridge, which is a generic and decentralized cross-chain transfer protocol to bridge all blockchains. As a result, it helps to bridge blockchains like Bitcoin, Cosmos, Harmony, Polkadot, and Near Protocol among others.

Another part of the Vite network is known as ViteX, which is a high-performance order-book decentralized exchange. It describes itself as the first DEX built on DAG, meaning that it has no fees and faster execution.

Some of the top platforms in Vite’s ecosystem are Viva, ExperimentDAO, ViteScan, and Viterium among others.

The developers have been working hard of late. In March this year, they introduced Solidity++ release on the mainnet. They are now working on ensuring that ViteBridge to deploy Avalanche bridge on testnet and introduce ViteX market orders.

It is unclear why the Vite price is in an upward trend. A potential reason is that the coin was recently added in Binance US ecosystem, meaning that Americans can now trade it.

Vite crypto price prediction

The daily chart shows that the Vite crypto price has been in a strong bullish trend in the past few days. It has managed to move from a low of $0.016. The coin remains below the important resistance level at $0.036, which was the lowest point on March 2.
