Shiba Inu founder deletes all social media information
Yesterday, pseudonymous Shiba Inu founder Ryoshi decided to follow Satoshi Nakamoto’s lead and deleted all his tweets as well as his personal blog posts. The creator of the “Dogecoin killer” stated that he wants the community to move forward if one day he would be gone without notice. It remains unknown whether Ryoshi plans to return to the Shiba Inu community with new ideas. Ryoshi’s sudden departure does not seem to affect the price of the SHIB token. It is currently trading at $0.0000116, according to CoinMarketCap, down 1.4%.
At the moment, Shiba Inu is valued at $6.4 billion, which makes it the 16th biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

Charles Hoskinson’s prediction back in 2020 about “hundreds of assets” created on Cardano seems to be manifesting.

When replying to a critic who called Cardano a "Ghostchain," Hoskinson noted that his brainchild outperformed leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Litecoin in adjusted transaction volumes, with a 24-hour volume of $9.15 billion. Meanwhile, ADA, Cardano’s native asset, managed to rebound over the weekend, spiking 12%. At the moment of writing, ADA is up 15.5%, changing hands at $0.618.
Tomiwabold OlajideEthereum bounces from $1,730 support, aims at $2,000 after 10% rally
According to Ethereum’s daily chart, the asset has successfully bounced off the $1,730 support line and is currently moving toward the next major resistance, which would be $2,000, as it acts as a psychological threshold for traders and investors. In addition to the "round numbers" resistance, traders who bought Ethereum at around $2,000 are likely to try to break even on their positions by selling close to or at the price. Such a trend creates massive pressure on the rising asset and may make it difficult for it to reach a new local high. For now, ETH is trading at $1,952, heading toward its goal of $2,000.
