Cardano’s IOG Gives Updates on Vasil Hard Fork DevelopmentThe IOG developers performed a hard fork on the testnet on July 3 to implement Vasil’s capabilities. After a few weeks, the company provided an update/development report on the testnet. The report stated that node v.1.35.2 was being worked on by the node, ledger, and consensus teams at the time of this writing. Improvements and bugs detected in earlier node versions during Vasil testing are included in this release.
Lace’s desktop application was also built up for Electron end-to-end testing by the developers. The team made progress on mapping the address attribute of the ObservableWallet instance given by the Cardano-js-sdk with the data from the Cardano-wallet back-end.
Both the ledger interoperability around new pricing models and the debugging experience for scriptwriters were areas of focus for the team as they sought to improve both areas.
They made progress on the PAB memory use optimizations while synchronizing with mainnet and testnet setups, published plutus-apps version 0.1.0, and worked on modifying the plutus-contract emulator to allow Babbage transactions, releasing plutus-apps version 0.1.0.
The group developed a smoke test that was only partially automated and successfully executed in both the Vasil testnet and the devnet settings. In the end, they carried on with the process of improving the documentation and fixing the bugs.
Recall that Vasil hard fork was originally scheduled to go live in June, but was postponed to the end of July for several problems. Increases in block generation time and transaction processing speed are predicted as a result of the hard fork on the Cardano network. Because of the increased network efficiency, this update might spur more use of ADA.
Cardano Faced Scrutiny Because it is Not VC-Backed: Charles HoskinsonCardano’s CEO and co-founder, Charles Hoskinson recently sat for a virtual interview with crypto influencer Dan Gambardello wherein they spoke about why (ADA) is facing such scrutiny from the media.
I sat down and talked with @IOHK_Charles about life, Cardano, scalability, the path to 3 billion users, governance, decentralization, 3 upcoming hard fork combinator events (dates), and crypto.$ADAhttps://t.co/wLAkKonU7i
— Dan Gambardello (@cryptorecruitr) January 11, 2022
Hoskinson attributed the scrutiny to the fact that ADA is not backed by venture capitalists, and that European and American VCs missed the opportunity to get in on ADA at the ground level.
Furthermore, Hoskinson added that VCs control the media outlets, and since they missed out on the opportunity to get in on ADA at the early stages, they are constantly attempting to bring down the project.
In related news, the price of ADA is at $0.4934 at the time of writing, after it dropped 1.06% over the past 24 hours, as per crypto market tracking website, CoinMarketCap. ADA’s price is still falling as it has dropped 0.22% within the last hour. Fortunately for bulls, ADA’s price is performing well on the weekly chart, as its price has risen 13.49% over the past 7 days.
ADA’s price movement has taken Cardano’s total market cap to an estimated $16,653 billion – ranking it at number 8 on CoinMarketCap’s list of the biggest cryptos by market cap. Compared to the two crypto market leaders, bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH), ADA’s price has strengthened against BTC by a slim 0.05% margin and has weakened against ETH by approximately 0.38%. ADA’s daily trading volume has cooled off as the weekend begins. The daily trading volume currently stands at $791,147,785, which is a 2.61% fall over the last 24 hours.
Basho Development Phase; Cardano Undergoes UpgradesCardano, the blockchain platform that is responsible for the ADA token, has recently published an examination of the study that is the basis for Cardano’s scalability. Cardano is undergoing constant improvements and optimizations for better scalability and interoperability as part of the Basho development phase.
Cardano’s Basho era is one of optimization, with a focus on increasing the network’s scalability and interoperability. Additionally, the blog provides an in-depth look at the research that will lead to these progressive upgrades.
Cardano has said previously that it is the time to improve the network’s foundation performance in order to better support its expansion and acceptance, as opposed to the previous era’s concentration on functionality and decentralization, hence the development of Basho.
Two on-chain solutions pipelines and input endorsers, are slated for implementation on Cardano in 2022-2023. The network’s predictability, fairness, and cost efficiency may all be preserved while mitigating the increasing network demand, according to the research.
The concept proposes a revolutionary pricing system, where each block is divided into three ‘tiers’ depending on the use case. Each tier makes up a fixed proportion of the maximum block size and is intended for various sorts of transactions – fair, balanced, and immediate
Furthermore, Cardano’s Input Output Global (IOG) has created the Cardano EVM sidechain as a result of this study. The alpha version of this sidechain may presently be seen on testnet.
The study also presents a proof-of-stake sidechain structure that is compatible with the Ouroboros consensus protocol and is appropriate for use in sidechain systems that use proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus.
Whales Actively Trade Shiba Inu (SHIB) Over the Past 24 Hours(SHIB), the popular meme token, has seen an increase in crypto whale activity recently.
According to data released by the crypto whale tracker, WhaleStats, SHIB has made its way to the top 10 trading volume among the 100 biggest (ETH) whales over the past 24 hours.
At the time of writing, the average trade volume amount of SHIB is $12,463, with an average quantity totaling around 1,100,000,000 SHIB. This ranks it at number 8 on the crypto whale tracker’s list. The top 3 cryptos on the list are Ethereum (ETH), (USDC), and (USDT).
The whale tracker also shows that SHIB is in the top 10 sold tokens list among the 100 biggest ETH whales, and is ranked number 7 on the list below Polygon (MATIC) and one position above ApeCoin (APE).
Despite the selloff by whales, SHIB’s price is still in the green over the last 24 hours according to CoinMarketCap. At the time of writing, the price of SHIB is $0.00001181. This is after a 24-hour increase of around 4.96% and an hourly increase of 1.83%. The 24-hour and hourly rise in SHIB’s price has added to its weekly gains, taking the total weekly gains up to 11.84%.
SHIB’s price posted a 24-hour high of $0.00001243 and a 24-hour low of $0.00001114.
Due to the involvement of ETH whales, SHIB’s trading volume has surged 216.07% over the past 24 hours taking the total daily trading volume figure to $919,197,704.
Shiba Inu Records New High of Over 1.2 Million HoldersThe continuous crypto market collapse has pushed many traders to find refuge in meme coins like Shiba Inu (SHIB), ShibDoge (SHIBDOGE), and (DOGE). According to data from WhaleStats, holders of the SHIB token have surpassed a record 1.2 million unique addresses, with the top 1000 Ethereum whales holding over $624 million worth of SHIB.

Current Holder Count: 1,200,006
XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB) Price AnalysisXRP’s price is down over the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. Meanwhile, the crypto market tracker also shows that Dogecoin (DOGE) also experienced a loss over this time period while the popular meme token, (SHIB), gained in price.
This article will be a technical analysis on the aforementioned cryptocurrencies to see what this week may have in store for them.
Weekly chart for XRP (Source: Trading View)
A bearish descending triangle has pushed XRP’s price down on the weekly chart as it dropped to its current level at around $0.3393. In the last 24 hours, XRP’s price has continued to fall by around 0.97%.
The price of XRP is being held up by the base of the bearish chart pattern as the last 4 weeks have seen it floating slightly above this level. With this being the case, the level may be able to hold out for another week. However, if it is unable to do so then the next target for XRP’s price is $0.2464.
At the moment, the weekly chart for XRP looks bearish given the fact that the 9 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is positioned below the longer 20 EMA. Looking at the slope of the 9 EMA line, it seems that the short-term weekly bearish trend is acquiring some strength.
One thing to keep an eye on is the bullish divergence that has popped up on the weekly chart for XRP as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has printed higher highs while XRP’s price posted lower highs. This bullish divergence could play out over the next week or two which will result in XRP’s price gaining some life again.
Daily chart for DOGE (Source- Trading View)
Looking at the daily chart for DOGE/USDT, a bullish ascending triangle has formed on the chart as DOGE’s price attempted a comeback above the key resistance level (the base of the chart pattern). However, bears had the upper hand as they were able to keep DOGE’s price below the level with the price escaping out of the chart pattern.
Now, DOGE’s price has consolidated somewhat but this may not be the case for long as bearish signs begin to crop up on the daily chart for DOGE.
The first bearish indicator that investors should take note of is the RSI crossing below the RSI SMA line. Despite the recent bearish cross of the two lines, the bearish trend may not exist for long as the margin between the two lines is very slim.
A bearish indicator that investors need to watch out for is the 9 EMA line crossing below the 20 EMA line. At the moment, the 9 EMA line is positioned above the 20 EMA line, which is bullish. However, once again, the margin between the two lines is very slim. This suggests that a bearish cross of the two lines is imminent if the current movement continues.
If the 9 EMA line crosses below the 20 EMA line, then the bearish trend could strengthen and investors will see the RSI begin to break away below the RSI SMA line.
Weekly chat for SHIB (Source- Trading View)
Things are looking up for SHIB when looking at its weekly chart. A bullish ascending triangle has formed on the weekly chart for SHIB as the price climbed from its weekly low in this bear market to its current level of $0.00001218 with the price now looking to challenge the resistance level at the base of the chart pattern.
Despite the 9 EMA being positioned below the 20 EMA, the RSI suggests that SHIB could break above the base of the triangle. If this were to happen, then SHIB’s price could soar as high as $0.00002345. It will all depend on what bulls do in the next 48 hours. Should bulls not step in, then SHIB’s price may consolidate at the current level as it escapes the chart pattern.

Shytoshi Kusama Ends Silence on Shiba Inu, Shibarium Release Soon?Shytoshi Kusama has taken up the leadership of Shiba Inu since the mysterious disappearance of Ryoshi, the founder of the meme coin project. Kusama made a comeback with a mysterious tweet: “Today I write. Tomorrow I will have a LOT to say #Shibarmy.”
The ShibArmy anticipates several new updates on Shibarium, Shiba Inu’s layer-2 solution, and Shiba games. Shytoshi Kusama’s tweet has hyped up the Shiba Inu holder community seeking updates on the status of Shibarium’s development and the tentative launch date.
On June 24, 2022, the Unification Foundation announced in a blog post that the launch of Shibarium’s beta phase is scheduled for the end of Q3 2022. Fifteen days ago, Kusama tweeted to the Shiba Inu community, assuring them that the development of projects was moving quite well on all fronts. Kusama disclosed that over the next few weeks, Shiba Inu holders will begin to see “the things we’ve been working on come to fruition at, what looks to be when Shib (and the world) needs it most.”
The cryptic tweet has triggered speculation in the crypto community, and Shiba Inu holders are awaiting details on the launch of Shibarium’s documentation, Shiba Inu Games, and “Shib: The Metaverse,” among other things.
Interestingly, Shiba Inu’s decentralized exchange ShibaSwap is nearing its first anniversary, and there are speculations that Kusama might announce updates on the platform’s development.
Shiba Inu burn portal Shibburn hit the 410 trillion milestone recently, and the community expects a new mechanism to be implemented for the rapid destruction of SHIB. 41% of Shiba Inu coins from the circulating supply have been permanently deleted, reducing the number of SHIB in circulation.
Shiba Inu’s price chart has revealed “buy signals” as the meme coin wipes out gains from the last two weeks. At the time of writing, Shiba Inu’s price recovered 22% from the slump 14 days ago. The meme coin is primed for a comeback, and SHIB could hit the target of $0.000010 and $0.000011.

Cardano’s Price Falls After Bouncing From 6-Week Range LowThe leading cryptocurrency by market cap, Bitcoin (BTC), saw a huge bounce over the last 24 hours as it dropped to as low as $19.2k before the time of writing. Following this dip, its price then rebounded into a 10% upward move to briefly trade at $20.8k. However, the rebound was short-lived as sellers were quick to capitalize.
Consequently, another crypto that saw a bounce in this period is (ADA), which bounced from its 6-week range lows to $0.44. As the weekend kicked off, it seemed as if a downward move was imminent for the altcoin.
The aforementioned ADA range had its low at $0.44 and a high at $0.64, and a mid-range value at around $0.54. The $0.42-$0.44 region has been a strong demand zone in the past month.
ADA/USDT 1- day Trading Chart (Source: CoinMarketCap)
Looking at the daily chart of ADA/USDT, the price of ADA is now in the demand region, as its price is around $0.4448 at the time of writing. Bulls may step in to capitalize at this level if history repeats itself.
On the other hand, a bearish descending triangle has formed on the daily chart and ADA’s price is at a decisive point as it’s at the apex of the chart pattern. If ADA’s price is unable to close above the upper bound of the chart pattern, then ADA’s price may continue to fall. However, if it can close above this level then the bearish thesis will be invalidated.
