Data Source: CoinMarketCap Cardano continued its positive run from lows of $0.77 on March 14  to reach intraday highs of $1.22 at the time of publication. At press time, ADA was changing hands at $1.21, up 2.46% in the last 24 hours per CoinMarketCap data.
The whole cryptocurrency market is now in a recovery mood, with the price of Bitcoin recently reaching a multi-month high of $48,240 on March 28.
Inflows into the Solana ecosystem
According to data provided by digital asset management firm CoinShares, Solana-based institutional investment products recorded a record-breaking $87 million worth of inflows during the previous week.
Solana has now attracted a total of $241 million worth of assets under management, which makes it the fifth-most popular cryptocurrency with institutional investors.
Solana trades at $111.58 at press time, up 5.51% on the day.
Ethereum dApps can now run on Cardano
The Milkomeda Foundation has announced the debut of C1, an Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible sidechain that is directly connected to the Cardano blockchain.
Users may now move assets effortlessly between the two blockchains, allowing popular Ethereum-based decentralized apps (dApps) to function on top of Cardano. This is accomplished using Milkomeda's wrapped smart contracts technology, which was just pioneered.
In February, the Milkomeda Foundation announced a partnership with Nomad, an interoperability protocol, to make it possible to easily bridge assets from the Ethereum network. The bridge between Cardano and Ethereum was then launched in testnet mode later that month.

Preview of Warsh's Friday Speech: What Is the Market Focusing On?

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is set to deliver his first Jackson Hole speech this Friday, a key event for markets to gauge his policy framework. The focus is on whether he will continue reducing forward guidance, thereby allowing markets to form their own rate expectations. Analyst Michael J. Kramer suggests a controversial interpretation: Warsh may tolerate a steeper yield curve, where rising long-term yields and bond volatility could tighten financial conditions without an immediate policy rate hike. This could occur through higher mortgage and corporate funding costs and lower equity valuations. Kramer points to the rising term premium on 10-year Treasuries, which, if reverting to pre-QE averages, could push yields above 5% alongside a higher assumed neutral rate. Concurrently, reduced forward guidance could structurally increase bond market volatility (as measured by the MOVE index), further tightening conditions. In this framework, long-end tightening could precede potential short-end rate cuts if it successfully cools demand and inflation. Risks include loss of Fed credibility and uncontrollable financial stress from excessive rate rises. Additionally, Japan's monetary policy normalization, with rising inflation expectations and short-term rate projections, may add upward pressure on global long-term yields. Friday's speech will be crucial for discerning whether Warsh views higher long-end yields as a usable policy tool or an uncontrolled market risk, and whether the "let the long-end do the tightening" narrative holds.

Darknet Leader Indicates Readiness to Cooperate as $44 Million Bitcoin Kidnapping Case Develops

Tomas Jiríkovský, the main suspect in a major Czech Republic cryptocurrency money laundering case, has indicated a potential willingness to cooperate with authorities. This follows a custody hearing at the Brno City Court where judge Ivana Otrubová ruled to keep him detained. Jiríkovský, a programmer linked to darknet activities and money laundering, had previously refused to speak with investigators. Prosecutors now state he has changed his position regarding darknet marketplace operations and criminal proceeds laundering. The court ordered his continued detention citing a flight risk and the likelihood he still controls some illicit crypto funds. Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of up to 20 years and asset confiscation. Central to the scandal is Jiríkovský's controversial $44 million Bitcoin donation to the Czech Ministry of Justice, which he made in exchange for state assistance in unlocking a confiscated crypto wallet. Former Justice Minister Pavel Blažek accepted the donation, but investigators allege it was a scheme to legitimize illegal darknet proceeds. The fallout led to Blažek's resignation and criminal charges against several high-ranking officials for aiding money laundering and breach of duty. With tens of thousands of pages of evidence, the trial is expected to be lengthy as authorities work to uncover the full scale of the operation.

‘Bear Cycle Is Over.’ What Are the Key Crypto Market News

"Bear cycle is over": Key cryptocurrency market news. On August 26th, Bitcoin traded below $79K and Ethereum around $2.45K, with both down ~2% over 24 hours. The total market cap remains above $2.65 trillion, with a "Greed" index score of 65 suggesting investor buying interest. LayerZero ($ZRO) led the top 100 with a 10% gain, while Monad (MON) fell 13%. Bitcoin ETFs saw over $314M in inflows, and Ethereum ETFs nearly $179M. Bitcoin's price briefly touched $81.3K on August 25th but faced resistance near the critical 50-week SMA indicator. Some experts, like Ki Young Ju of CryptoQuant, believe the bear cycle has ended, citing early bullish signals similar to January 2023. Analysts are discussing a potential "altcoin season," noting capital rotation from Bitcoin into Ethereum and riskier assets following a period of low volatility and volume. Many altcoins, including $ZRO (up over 60% since August 17th), are rebounding from near year-to-date lows, a pattern seen across numerous top projects.

Russian Hides Crypto Mining Farm in Outbuilding Near House

A 53-year-old resident of the Predgorny District in Stavropol Krai, Russia, hid cryptocurrency mining equipment in an outbuilding on his property and exchanged the mined cryptocurrency for rubles, according to materials from a criminal case. Investigators state the man purchased a special device online to connect his equipment while bypassing the electricity meter. The local power grid company estimates the damages from three years of unauthorized consumption at 1 million rubles. Criminal charges have been filed under the article for "causing property damage by deceit," which carries a penalty of up to two years in prison and an 80,000-ruble fine. Stavropol Krai is not among the Russian regions where cryptocurrency mining is prohibited. The ban is in effect in neighboring North Caucasian republics like Dagestan and Chechnya, as well as in Moscow, the Moscow region, and parts of several other regions. This case follows a similar one in Perm, where a mining farm owner faces charges after an inspection initiated by power engineers. In that instance, "Rosseti Ural" estimated damages from illegal electricity consumption at over 6 million rubles.

BTC at the $80,000 Milestone: Is Altcoin Season Here? Institutional Buying Supports Rebound, but Rotation Signals Remain Weak

Bitcoin surged to around $80,000 this week, a significant rebound from approximately $63,000. The rally was primarily driven by strong institutional inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, which recorded their highest weekly net inflows in months ($19-20 billion). While market breadth improved, with the majority of top altcoins recovering above their 50-day moving average, Bitcoin's dominance remains elevated near 60%. The Altcoin Season Index sits well below the threshold of 75, indicating altcoins have not consistently outperformed Bitcoin over the past 90 days. This suggests a BTC-led recovery rather than a broad-based "altcoin season." Leverage and sentiment have risen quickly, with funding rates turning positive. Caution is advised as the market structure does not yet confirm a sustainable rotation into smaller-cap assets. The current strategy should prioritize core assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, maintain selectivity with altcoins, and exercise restraint with leverage, awaiting clearer signs of capital rotation.
