Cardano market performance and updates
Following returned positivity on the cryptocurrency market and a variety of new updates and solutions, Cardano's ecosystem was getting ready to present in the summer, and traders and investors started to more actively invest in the underlying cryptocurrency of the network.
Previously, U.Today covered the rising inflows of institutional funds into the network. While inflows to BTC and ETH slowed down significantly, ADA saw a spike in investment volume. The rising institutional interest is most likely tied to the fundamental growth of the ecosystem and the relatively cheap price of the representing asset.
As for price performance, ADA is still struggling to get out from the downtrend it entered back in September 2021. Luckily, it’s currently shows a local upswing movement and reaches the upper border of a falling wedge with a potential to break through.
