After a period of modest ascent, Cardano encountered sellers near $0.880, prompting a downturn as sudden as a scandal in high society. Like its peers, Bitcoin and Ethereum, ADA succumbed, dipping below the $0.850 and $0.8320 support levels with a lack of grace most unbecoming.

Gumi Inc., a corporate acrobat performing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s tightrope, recently convened its board to sanction the acquisition of ¥2.5 billion ($17 million) in XRP, a move as fateful as a moth leaping into a blockchain flame. Earlier this year, the company had already staked ¥1 billion in bitcoin on Babylon’s staking protocols, a financial ballet where returns pirouette like loose change in a storm drain.

In the cruel theater that is June, the company’s shares tumbled 54%-which, for the mathematically inclined, is slightly less than falling out of an entire window, yet more than tripping over a small cat named Bitcoin. And what of Bitcoin itself? It climbed up a few stairs, modestly, perhaps to fetch a samovar, but not nearly enough to break a sweat. Meanwhile, Metaplanet’s mighty fundraising machine began wheezing like an ancient bureaucrat confronted with paperwork.
After a spirited defence of the support at $0.23, Polygon [POL] did rally a noteworthy 12.72% to a height not seen for three months, reaching $0.2736. Indeed, the volume of trade swelled by 34% to $315.7 million, and the market cap itself attained the respectable sum of $2.8 billion. One wonders if such activity shall be sustained.
