The Last Time Saylor Sold Bitcoin, BTC Went on 8x Rally

Strategy has sold another large batch of Bitcoin, prompting comparisons with its only previous major BTC sale in late 2022.

A popular post on X noted that the last time Michael Saylor’s company sold a significant amount of Bitcoin, BTC later climbed roughly fivefold from its bear-market low. Some traders believe history could repeat itself. 

Strategy Sells 3,588 BTC to Fund Dividends

On Monday, Michael Saylor announced that Strategy sold 3,588 BTC for approximately $216 million. The proceeds will fund dividends on the company’s Digital Credit securities. After the sale, Strategy said it still holds:

  • 843,775 BTC in its Bitcoin reserves.
  • $2.55 billion in U.S. dollar reserves.

The latest transaction follows the sale on June 30, when Strategy sold 1,363 BTC for about $80.77 million at an average price of $59,256 per BTC. Meanwhile, the company also sold 2,225 BTC for $135.22 million at an average price of $60,773.

In total, the company has sold 3,588 BTC within a week. Based on Strategy’s average purchase price of $75,651 per BTC, the BTC sale resulted in a realized loss of more than $55.44 million.

Earlier in June, the company also sold a much smaller 32 BTC for about $2.47 million at an average price of $77,135.

First Major Sales Since the 2022 Bear Market

Before this recent selling activity, Strategy’s only notable Bitcoin sale came in December 2022. The company sold 704 BTC at roughly $16,500 per coin as part of a tax-loss harvesting strategy. The sale generated approximately $11.8 million.

The move was short-lived. Strategy soon repurchased 810 BTC, leaving its long-term Bitcoin strategy largely unchanged. Aside from that transaction, the company had not made any significant Bitcoin sales until this year’s activity.

The timing has drawn attention because both selling periods occurred during bear markets. Notably, Bitcoin traded near $16,400 during the December 2022 sale and later reached $126,200 in October 2026. This represents over 7.7x price expansion.

Meanwhile, the recent sales came after BTC had fallen about 50% from its all-time high, trading near $58,000 before rebounding. At press time, Bitcoin had recovered about 6% to around $63,010.

What Another 5x Rally Would Look Like

If Bitcoin’s price repeats the roughly 7.7x rally that followed the 2022 bear market low, BTC could reach about $484,800 from its current price of around $63,010.

With approximately 20.05 million BTC in circulation, that price would value Bitcoin at roughly $9.72 trillion. However, whether such a rally happens remains uncertain. 

Shiba Inu Burn Rate Surges 55% With 39,320,000 SHIB Destroyed

Shiba Inu Burn Rate Surges 55% With 39,320,000 SHIB Destroyed

Shiba Inu’s burn activity has regained momentum, surging by more than 55% over the past seven days.

According to data from Shibburn, the Shiba Inu community burned 39.32 million SHIB during the week, driving the weekly burn rate up 55.77%. The rebound follows a sharp spike in burn activity that saw 13.89 million SHIB destroyed within hours, marking the network’s highest daily burn in about a month.

Daily Burn Rate Declines After Monthly Peak

Despite the strong weekly performance, daily burn activity has cooled significantly. At the time of writing, the community had burned approximately 3.68 million SHIB over the previous 24 hours, reflecting a 69.41% drop in the daily burn rate.

Nonetheless, the broader trend remains positive, as monthly burn volume has surged more than 20% to 111.32 million SHIB. As a result, while the community continues to remove tokens from circulation, daily participation has become increasingly inconsistent.

Large Supply Continues to Limit Burn Impact

Although burn activity has accelerated in recent weeks, it still represents only a tiny fraction of Shiba Inu’s massive token supply. Currently, SHIB has a circulating supply of 585.61 trillion tokens. Since the project’s launch, the community has permanently removed 410.84 trillion SHIB through 21,082 burn transactions.

Notably, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin accounted for the overwhelming majority of those burns in 2021 when he permanently destroyed roughly 410 trillion SHIB.

Even so, it remains uncertain whether the community can sustain its recent burn momentum, particularly after the sharp decline in daily burns.

Ecosystem Challenges Persist

In the meantime, Shiba Inu’s holder count has continued to expand. The network has added more than 77,000 wallet addresses since the beginning of the month, a milestone that many community members initially celebrated as evidence of growing adoption.

However, the increase has also sparked controversy after community analyst Dark Shib claimed that much of the recent wallet growth may not reflect genuine adoption. According to the analyst, WoofSwap used a smart contract called “TheShibBull” to automatically generate new wallet addresses and send 1 SHIB to each one. Since blockchain tracking platforms recognize any address holding SHIB as a token holder, the process could artificially inflate the network’s holder count.

The controversy has added to broader concerns surrounding the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Shibarium’s decentralized exchanges have recorded almost no trading activity. The DEX has reported $0 in trading volume since June 24, briefly rising to just $3 on July 4 before returning to zero.

Exchange Outflows Point to Continued Accumulation

Despite the mixed on-chain indicators, investors have continued to move SHIB off centralized exchanges. Over the past 24 hours, holders withdrew approximately 95 billion SHIB from exchanges, while exchange netflows increased 2.58% during the same period. 

At the time of writing, SHIB was trading at $0.000004359, down 7.46% over the past month but up 2.49% over the past seven days.

XRP Now Following the Same Multi-Year Retest Pattern That Led to 60,000% Surge in 2017

XRP Now Following the Same Multi-Year Retest Pattern That Led to 60,000% Surge in 2017

XRP may now be looking to complete the same multi-year trendline retest pattern that previously led to a more than 60,000% surge in 2017.

The market has not been favorable to XRP since the downtrend began in Q4 2025. XRP has continued to record consistent losses, now down nearly 70% from its all-time high of $3.66, attained in July 2025, as it currently changes hands around $1.12.

However, amid this downward price action, chart data shows that XRP may now be looking to complete what appears to be the same multi-year trendline retest pattern that played out before it surged by more than 60,000% in 2017 to the $3.31 high.

XRP’s First Multi-Year Trendline Retest Pattern

Notably, this trendline retest pattern has only successfully played out once throughout XRP’s history, and it appears to be repeating now. If successful, this would mark only the second time it has developed.

Specifically, the pattern involves retesting a multi-year ascending trendline four times before an eventual surge to new price highs. The retest of the trendline and subsequent recovery indicates that bulls are still in control of the market over a longer timeframe, as the asset continues to form higher lows.

The pattern started in August 2013, when XRP began trading in the public market, with the formation of an ascending trendline. Each time XRP retested the trendline and recovered, a rally ensued.

When XRP tested the trendline at the $0.00289 low in August 2013, it spiked more than 2,000% to the December 2013 peak of $0.0614. After collapsing from this high, XRP again retested the trendline at a $0.00310 floor in May 2014, and then rebounded 897% to $0.02803 by December 2014.

A third retest of the trendline occurred when XRP dropped to $0.00404 by December 2015. The ensuing recovery resulted in a milder 134% increase to $0.00947 by October 2016. Then, XRP recorded the fourth retest with a crash to $0.005 in February 2017.

What followed this fourth retest of the trendline was a massive breakout. Specifically, XRP surged from the $0.005 low to a new all-time high of $3.31 by January 2018, representing a near 63,000% rise within a year. This marked the end of the first retest pattern.

XRP Now Repeating the Same Pattern

Interestingly, XRP now seems to be repeating the same pattern. Specifically, the asset formed a second ascending trendline from early 2020, with the first test occurring at the $0.1681 low of April 2020.

XRP Ascending Trendline Retest

After this retest, XRP soared 1,065% to a high of $1.96 by April 2021. From here, the price pulled back and then retested the trendline when XRP dropped to $0.28 in June 2022. The ensuing rebound pushed XRP’s price to $0.94 by July 2023, marking a 184% rise.

XRP recorded the third retest with a drop to $0.49 by November 2024. What followed was a massive 646% increase to the current all-time high of $3.66 by July 2025. 

Now, XRP is on the verge of recording the fourth retest, which could lead to the final explosive upsurge. Data from the chart shows that the ascending trendline currently aligns with the $0.74 to $0.80 price range. Should XRP drop further to hit this level and defend the trendline retest, an upward push could ensue.

However, it is important to point out that the resulting rallies from this second trendline’s retests have been considerably lower. As a result, XRP may not see anything close to the 63,000% rise from 2017. Nonetheless, even if it manages just a tenth of that rally, prices could hit $46.

RealFi Begins Public Testing as Cardano Founder Highlights Its Financial Inclusion Potential

RealFi Begins Public Testing as Cardano Founder Highlights Its Financial Inclusion Potential

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has drawn the community’s attention to what he describes as one of the most significant releases in the blockchain’s history. 

The Cardano founder’s remarks followed the launch of the RealFi Phase 1 testnet, which marked the first public opportunity for users to interact with the protocol ahead of its mainnet debut.

RealFi Testnet Goes Live With Core Features

The RealFi team has officially launched Phase 1 of its testnet, introducing the protocol’s foundational features in a controlled testing environment.

During this phase, users can perform three key actions. They can swap supported test digital assets for test USDr, stake test USDr to receive test sUSDr, and later unstake sUSDr back into test USDr.

According to the team, these features will validate the protocol’s core mechanics while allowing community members to test its functionality and provide feedback before the full network launch.

RealFi Targets Real-World Credit Markets

Unlike many stablecoin projects that focus primarily on crypto trading or decentralized finance (DeFi), RealFi aims to bridge blockchain liquidity with real-world credit markets.

To achieve this, the protocol is building a stablecoin ecosystem that channels on-chain capital into productive financial opportunities instead of relying on circular incentives. Consequently, the project seeks to transform idle blockchain capital into funding that supports real economic activity.

If successful, holders of RealFi’s stable assets could gain exposure to real-world financial markets while benefiting from blockchain’s speed, transparency, and security.

Hoskinson Says RealFi Can Bank the Unbanked

Reacting to the development, Hoskinson described RealFi as a project capable of “banking the unbanked,” underscoring its potential to expand financial access to millions of underserved individuals worldwide.

He also called the RealFi testnet launch “one of the most important milestones in Cardano’s history.” His comments reflect the project’s alignment with Cardano’s long-term vision of using blockchain technology to deliver financial services to individuals and businesses that lack reliable access to traditional banking infrastructure.

Moreover, if the protocol achieves its objectives, it could enable blockchain-based lending and stablecoin services backed by real-world economic activity rather than remaining limited to crypto-native applications.

Additional Features to Follow

The RealFi team emphasized that the current release represents only the first phase of testing. It added that further details regarding participation requirements, incentives, and reward structures will be shared through its official channels as development progresses.

Notably, Hoskinson previously revealed that the RealFi mainnet will launch shortly after the completion of the testnet phase. However, he did not provide a specific timeline or confirm whether the mainnet rollout will take place before the end of the year.

The Best Crypto Marketing Agency for 2026, Decided by Case Studies and Founder Reviews

The Best Crypto Marketing Agency for 2026, Decided by Case Studies and Founder Reviews

Finding the best crypto marketing agency has never carried higher stakes. According to CoinGecko, more than 20 million tokens have launched since 2021, and by the end of 2025 around 53% of them were already dead or no longer actively traded – the worst attrition the industry has ever recorded. In a market this crowded, visibility is survival, yet marketing is exactly where founders lose the most money. A two-year study of 1,544 projects by 5Money and Storible tied founders to 33% of dead crypto projects, and many Web3 marketing agencies overpromise, deliver vanity metrics, and quietly disappear. With hundreds of crypto marketing agencies competing for the same budgets, and most founders being builders rather than trained marketers, the wrong partner can burn months of runway a project never gets back.

That is the problem this article solves. Rather than republish another popularity list, we ranked the top crypto marketing agencies of 2026 using agency performance data, documented case studies, real pricing, and client review sentiment from Clutch, GoodFirms, and Trustpilot – so you can match the right service provider to your budget, your stage, and, above all, your product.

Crypto Marketing Agency Evaluation Methodology

The crypto market moves faster than almost any other industry, so the best crypto marketing agency for one project is rarely the best for another. To build a research-based ranking rather than a popularity list, we scored every crypto marketing agency on the same seven factors – the columns of the table below – so you can trace how we reached each conclusion. We also list each agency’s HQ, which matters if you need a crypto marketing agency in the USA, the UK, or Dubai.

  • Crypto-native experience: years in Web3 and real understanding of token launches, listings, advertising limits, and community culture.
  • Service breadth: specialist or full crypto digital marketing agency across SEO, GEO, PR, paid media, influencer and KOL outreach, content, and community – with SEO and GEO (AI search) weighted most heavily, as discovery shifts to AI answer engines.
  • Proof of results: named clients, documented case studies, and measurable outcomes over vanity metrics.
  • Review sentiment: ratings from Clutch, Trustpilot, GoodFirms, and DesignRush.
  • Best-fit product type: a DeFi protocol, an exchange, and an NFT or token project each need a different playbook.
  • Best-fit stage: pre-launch, scaling, or established.
  • Pricing and budget fit: real hourly rates and minimums from Clutch and published service decks.

The table summarizes all seven factors; the reviews that follow add the context behind each score.

Crypto Marketing FAQ

What does a crypto marketing agency do?

A crypto marketing agency helps blockchain and Web3 projects attract users, investors, and community members. A full crypto digital marketing agency typically combines strategy, branding, SEO and GEO, content, PR, paid advertising, influencer and KOL campaigns, and community management across X/Twitter, Telegram, and Discord, connecting these channels into one measurable growth funnel rather than running isolated activities.

How much does it cost to hire a crypto marketing agency?

Pricing varies widely. Entry-level PR distribution can start around $199, subscription models begin near $3,200 per month, and full-service retainers for established firms often run $10,000+ monthly, with hourly rates from roughly $25 to $250. When you hire a crypto marketing agency, scope, seniority, and deliverables drive cost, and there are options for crypto marketing agencies for small businesses as well as enterprise budgets.

How do I choose the right crypto marketing agency?

Start with your primary goal. If you need a token launch, prioritize agencies with tokenomics and community expertise; if you need long-term traffic, choose a crypto SEO marketing agency with proven GEO results.

XRP Beats Bitcoin and Ethereum to Lead Trading Activity on Upbit With $52M

XRP outperformed both Bitcoin and Ethereum in daily trading activity on South Korea’s largest crypto exchange, Upbit, highlighting its continued appeal among local traders.

Over the past 24 hours, Upbit recorded a total trading volume of $493.74 million. During this period, XRP led all assets with $52.33 million in trades, accounting for nearly 10% of total exchange activity.

By contrast, Bitcoin posted $42.14 million in volume, representing 8.54% of the total. Meanwhile, Ethereum followed with $24.3 million, or 4.92% of overall trading activity.

Notably, the data shows that XRP maintained a clear lead over the two largest cryptocurrencies by market cap on the exchange during the reporting window.

South Korean Traders Continue to Favor XRP

Beyond the latest figures, XRP’s strong performance on Upbit reflects a broader and persistent trend in South Korea’s crypto market.

Earlier this year, XRP trading activity on Upbit surged sharply, including a notable 289% spike in volume within a single hour. During the same period, Binance recorded a smaller 128% increase, underscoring the intensity of Korean market participation.

In addition, large-holder activity has reinforced this demand. In May, an unknown investor withdrew 6.3 million XRP from Upbit. Around the same time, on-chain data showed whales moving $135 million worth of XRP off exchanges within a week, a pattern often associated with long-term accumulation. 

Overall, XRP’s ability to outperform Bitcoin and Ethereum on Upbit highlights its unusually strong foothold in South Korea’s trading ecosystem.

XRP Extends Recovery After Market Sell-Off

Meanwhile, XRP continues to recover from last month’s broader market downturn, which briefly pushed its price down to $1.01.

Since then, XRP has rebounded to around $1.14, marking a 12.87% gain. Despite this recovery, global trading activity has cooled, with XRP’s overall volume falling 31% over the past 24 hours to about $1.21 billion.

Nonetheless, momentum remains cautiously positive. XRP has climbed 0.23% over the past day and roughly 9.5% over the past week, as buyers gradually re-enter the market. XRP currently ranks as the sixth-largest cryptocurrency globally, with a market cap of about $70.79 billion. 

Interestingly, spot flow data from CoinGlass shows that investors are steadily withdrawing XRP from exchanges. Over the past seven days, investors have removed $30.38 million worth of XRP from trading platforms. In addition, they have pulled a total of $147.5 million over the past month, according to CoinGlass data.

These consistent outflows suggest that more investors are moving XRP into long-term holdings rather than keeping it on exchanges for trading.

XRP Nears Critical Weekly MA Death Cross That Could Define Its Next Phase

XRP Nears Critical Weekly MA Death Cross That Could Define Its Next Phase

XRP is now close to a recording death cross between the 20-week EMA and the 200-week SMA, which could determine its next direction from here. 

A death cross forms when a short-term moving average drops below a long-term one. While this is often discussed in terms of the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the same idea applies to other pairs, including the 20-week EMA and the 200-week SMA.

200W SMA and 20W EMA Seeing Opposing Trends

Right now, this crossover has not happened yet, but it looks very close. Since October 2025, the two indicators have been moving in opposite directions and seem to be gradually converging. 

Notably, the 200-week SMA has been rising since late 2024, but only at a slow and steady pace. Meanwhile, the 20-week EMA entered an uptrend from November 2024, but things changed after it reached a high of $2.77 in October 2025. Since then, the shorter-term average has been falling.

The gap between these two indicators has become smaller over time. At the moment, the 20-week EMA stands at $1.34 and is still declining, while the 200-week SMA has climbed to $1.209 and continues its gradual rise.

XRP Weekly Death Cross Imminent

If the 20-week EMA falls below the 200-week SMA, it would be the first time this has happened since November 2024. For context, in November 2024, the moving averages witnessed a golden cross, which coincided with a broader market rally linked to Donald Trump’s election victory.

What This Could Mean for XRP Price Action

A death cross usually points to growing selling pressure. In this case, it would show that sellers are gaining more control and that the downtrend is still in place. However, in some cases, this signal appears close to a market bottom.

For instance, in July 2022, XRP showed a similar pattern. At that time, the price had already dropped to a low of $0.28 in June 2022 and was starting to recover. After the death cross formed, XRP still fell slightly to about $0.31 by Q3 2022. 

Following this low, the market stabilized, but XRP saw a consolidation instead of a decisive uptrend despite avoiding further declines. A strong bull run did not begin until November 2024, nearly two years later.

However, not every case follows the same path. During the 2018/2019 bear market, a similar crossover happened in October 2019. XRP continued to fall for several months after the signal, eventually reaching a low of $0.1140 in March 2020. It took about five months for the market to find a bottom.

However, this period coincided with the March 2020 crash caused by the COVID-19 crisis, which many see as an unexpected Black Swan event. 

As a result, some analysts treat it as an exception. If no similar shock happens now, XRP could follow the 2022 pattern, where the death cross appeared close to the bottom and was followed by a period of consolidation within weeks.

Key XRP Levels to Watch

While each market cycle is different, data from these past trends suggest that XRP could form a bottom between now and the end of the year or within the next six months, depending on how the market develops.

Most analysts believe the next major support lies between $0.8 and $0.9. On-chain data supports this view. Specifically, the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) shows that below the $1.06 support level, the next strong support sits around $0.8, where about 923 million XRP was previously traded.

With XRP currently priced at $1.13, a drop to the $0.8 to $0.9 range would mean a decline of around 20% to 29%. Whether the price reaches that level or stabilizes earlier will depend on how the market reacts as this possible death cross plays out.

XRP Manipulation Phase Ending as Monthly Oscillator Shows Slow Shift to Uptrend

XRP Manipulation Phase Ending as Monthly Oscillator Shows Slow Shift to Uptrend

XRP may be showing early signs of a shift in momentum in its monthly RSI from a downtrend to an uptrend after months of persistent weakness.

This is according to a market outlook from EGRAG Crypto, a prominent market analyst. In an X post on July 5, he noted that the latest move is not simply another short-term bounce, but the start of a distribution phase targeting higher levels for the monthly XRP RSI.

In the commentary, EGRAG highlighted a macro momentum pattern that has appeared during previous XRP market cycles. He also identified how the monthly RSI briefly slipped below a historically important support zone. 

XRP Fell Below Historic RSI Support Zone

EGRAG stated that the RSI fell to the 40 region, an area it has not visited before in its history. This happened in June, when XRP’s RSI fell to a low of 40.59.

This saw the altcoin’s oscillator break below a historic support zone that has repeatedly coincided with major cycle bottoms. In previous market cycles, the indicator formed a clear 1-2-3 bottoming structure before momentum shifted higher. The monthly RSI retests the support level around 43.66 three times, forms a durable bottom, then starts to recover higher.

In the first circle, the monthly RSI dipped to 44.25, forming 1 in December 2019, then fell to 43.75 in March 2020, forming 2. It then concluded the accumulation with a final dip to 44.01 in June 2020. 

During the second circle, the XRP oscillator dipped to 43.90 in June 2022, 43.95 in August 2022, and 44.42 in December 2022. This formed the 1, 2, and 3 bottoming patterns, respectively.

This time, however, the oscillator dropped below that historical range. Rather than viewing the move as outright bearish, EGRAG believes the steeper dip may represent a temporary deviation designed to shake out weaker market participants before momentum begins recovering. EGRAG called this the manipulation phase.

Notably, the oscillator is rebounding after touching the 40 region, currently sitting at 42.5. The recovery suggests that momentum is starting to shift back to positive.

XRP RSI Following the AMD Model

Meanwhile, EGRAG further discussed the current development with the application of the Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution (AMD) model. He noted that this model can also apply to the monthly oscillator instead of price analysis alone.

According to the analyst, the expected accumulation phase was around the historical support zone, but the XRP RSI broke below it. That was the manipulation, which he believes precedes a decisive break higher.

For this to happen, EGRAG outlined several important levels. A recovery above 43.66 would represent the first sign of improving momentum, while clearing 46.50 would strengthen the bullish case. However, the analyst views a monthly close above the 50 level as the most significant confirmation that XRP’s macro momentum has shifted.

Notably, a rising RSI, especially on higher timeframes, shows that upside momentum is returning to the market. Such a scenario would have bullish implications for the XRP price, potentially sending it higher.

XRP Could Rally Above $13 Before Bitcoin Next All-Time High

XRP Could Rally Above $13 Before Bitcoin Next All-Time High

XRP may be close to a major breakout against Bitcoin after years of underperformance.

The XRP/BTC trading pair is approaching a key technical turning point. If the breakout happens, XRP could significantly outperform the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

The bullish outlook comes as XRP continues to consolidate below a long-term descending trendline. That resistance has capped rallies since the token’s 2018 peak. XRP is currently trading at $1.13, up 9% from the previous week’s low of $1.009.

This strength is also visible on the XRP/BTC chart, which has gained 2.7% over the past week, suggesting XRP is outperforming Bitcoin during the ongoing recovery.

XRP/BTC Breakout Could Lead to 10x Surge

Notably, the long-term XRP/BTC chart highlights a descending resistance line that has remained in place since 2018. Now, the pair is nearing the apex of the pattern, suggesting a breakout may be getting closer.

The chart shows XRP/BTC trading around 0.000018 BTC while testing the upper boundary of the multi-year downtrend. XRP is also facing a major resistance zone near its 2018 highs. If XRP eventually returns to that level, the pair could gain more than 1,040%.

In other words, XRP could outperform Bitcoin by roughly 10 times during the breakout. This would put XRP’s price around $13 by the time Bitcoin reaches its next all-time high, with the XRP/BTC ratio rising to around 0.0001800 from approximately 0.00001807 today.

Price Will Be the Main Catalyst

Meanwhile, this outlook has sparked optimism in the XRP community. One user on X asked what would drive XRP into the double-digit price range if it rallies before Bitcoin sets a new all-time high. The investor wondered whether utility, spot ETFs, regulatory clarity, or retail demand would be the primary catalyst.

Community figure Celal Kucuker argued that price itself would be the biggest catalyst. He said that once XRP starts making higher highs against Bitcoin, improving market sentiment would attract more buyers.

Other bullish developments could support the rally, but they would likely act as secondary catalysts rather than the initial trigger.

Years of Compression May Set Up a Strong Move

Another market participant noted that XRP has traded below its 2018 valuation relative to Bitcoin for several years. He suggested that such a prolonged period of weakness could eventually end with a sharp breakout.

Others agreed with the view, noting that markets often produce stronger moves after extended periods of compression. Essentially, the XRP/BTC pair has been building energy for years, and that could make any confirmed breakout more significant.

Ultimately, the journey for XRP to climb above $10 remains challenging, as the token is currently trading at $1.13 while the market remains in a bearish phase. However, this outlook could play out when the next bull cycle emerges.

Top Crypto Founder Says Cardano Has Life-Changing Potential, Urges Investors Not to Bet Against ADA

Top Crypto Founder Says Cardano Has Life-Changing Potential, Urges Investors Not to Bet Against ADA

SongMarketCap founder Jure Karamarko has reiterated his bullish outlook on Cardano, arguing that investors should not underestimate ADA or the blockchain’s growing ecosystem of native tokens.

Karamarko made the statement in an X post yesterday following ADA’s strong price rally in recent days. According to him, anyone betting against Cardano will ultimately lose.

He further asserted that combining ADA with carefully selected Cardano native tokens could significantly amplify investment returns and potentially “change lives for generations.” His remarks underscore his long-term conviction in the Cardano ecosystem, particularly as ADA continues to recover from last month’s market weakness.

ADA Stages Strong Recovery

ADA has rebounded sharply after a challenging period. Last month, Cardano fell below $0.14 and dropped to the 18th position on CoinMarketCap’s rankings. However, bullish momentum has since returned.

Over the weekend, ADA climbed to around $0.20, briefly surpassing Stellar (XLM) to become the world’s 13th-largest cryptocurrency by market cap before retracing slightly to the 14th spot.

Against this backdrop, Karamarko emphasized that Cardano’s investment potential extends beyond ADA alone. Rather than focusing solely on ADA’s price appreciation, Karamarko argued that Cardano’s expanding ecosystem of native tokens presents additional opportunities for investors.

SONG Founder Defends His Argument With Recent Performance

Karamarko’s comments sparked mixed reactions within the crypto community. While many bullish investors agreed with his outlook, critics argued that his thesis relied too heavily on short-term price action.

In response, Karamarko highlighted the recent performance of ADA and an unnamed Cardano native token to defend his position. He noted that ADA gained 28% over the past 30 days, while one Cardano native token surged 120% during the same period. Based on those gains, he argued that an investor holding both assets would have realized a combined portfolio increase of 281.6% over the month. 

SONG Performance

SONG Massive Spike 

Although Karamarko did not explicitly identify the native token in his post, his remarks are widely believed to reference SONG, the native token of SongMarketCap, the project he founded.

Recent on-chain data supports the token’s impressive performance. Over the past 24 hours, SONG has gained 4.84%. Meanwhile, it has risen 11.2% over the past seven days and an impressive 113% over the past month.

At press time, SONG was trading at $0.00425, extending its strong upward momentum and reinforcing Karamarko’s argument that select Cardano native tokens, when combined with ADA, could deliver substantial gains.
