Such selling pressures pushed Cardano’s market cap value to about $34 billion or 2.84% of the total crypto market valuation. At its highest price levels, the fifth most valuable crypto had a market capitalization of $71.56 billion.

Over the last seven days, the first growing crypto asset has lost about 20% in value, thus at its present price, the Crypto asset is still down 57.2% from its all-time high of $2.46 set on May 16.

A significant number of market pundits, however, remain upbeat on the crypto asset, taking into account about 70%-80% of all circulating supply is being staked, further suggesting it has a considerable number of long-term investors.

However, the odds seem to be on the crypto asset, amid bearish sentiments prevailing on the broader market spectrum as market participants can run their own validators and stake their validators.

The digital asset has a type of blockchain capability that enables people to collect and send funds, while ADA coin is the name of the crypto asset. It uses the Cardano blockchain and it also allows people to design smart contracts just like Ethereum.
