80 Million Cardano in 48 Hours: Whales Buying ADA Dip?
According to CoinMarketCap data, Cardano, the ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is trading at $0.762, down 1.38% in the last 24 hours and 4.05% in the last seven days.
Amid a broader market drop in the past week, Cardano fell for four straight days since May 14. Cardano had achieved a high of $0.864 on May 12, but bulls were unable to sustain momentum as investors considered macroeconomic concerns.
ADA is currently attempting a recovery, with prices reaching intraday highs of $0.766 in the early Sunday session, but the price remains in the red daily.
Amid the price drop, large holders referred to as whales appear to be scooping up Cardano at a discount.
According to crypto analyst Ali, who cited data from Santiment, whales have bought over 80 million ADA in just the last 48 hours, even as the Cardano price fell.

This accumulation trend by whales suggests that smart money is taking advantage of lower prices to load up on ADA, potentially betting on a rebound once broader market sentiment improves.
In the event of a market recovery, the focus would be on Cardano regaining the daily SMA 200 at $0.805 before moving to $0.864. If this is accomplished, ADA may target $1 next. In the case of a dip, support is expected at $0.72, ahead of the daily SMA 50 of $0.684.
Cardano continues to expand
According to the most recent information published by Input Output, Cardano continues to show steady growth across ecosystem metrics. The number of projects underway has risen to 1,999, with delegated wallets remaining steady at 1.33 million. On-chain activity also increased, with 109.37 million transactions completed and native assets reaching 10.79 million under 214,832 token policies.
Smart contract deployment is strong, with 133,417 Plutus scripts and 6,640 Aiken scripts, representing a 0.49% increase in script activity over the previous week.
Governance engagement has increased as well, with 1,305 DReps, 954 of which are active, up 1% from the previous figure. The 224 GitHub commits represent developer enthusiasm and indicate ongoing contributions across Cardano's codebase.

Iowa baseball updates stadium renovations status
Iowa baseball updates stadium renovations status While Iowa baseball continues its multi-phase upgrades to Duane Banks Field, the Iowa Athletics Department provided an update on its renovations to the Hawkeyes' home field. According to the release, the second phase of a donor-funded project to improve the game-day experience would consist of reconstructing the press box, adding new seating, and other improvements, including an ADA-compliant restroom and ramp to connect the new clubhouse and the first base-line grandstand. A new seating bowl will be added between the two main fan entrances, and a new aluminum bleacher system will be constructed in the main grandstand seating area, with a new press box positioned atop the seating bowl. A new cable-tension ball netting system spanning the entire distance of the existing and new grandstands will be installed. Since Duane Banks Field's inception in 1974, the Hawkeyes have continuously invested in numerous improvements throughout its use. In 2002, former Hawkeye and major leaguer Cal Eldred donated funds for the installation of lights. From 2014-15, the field surface was replaced by AstroTurf, and a state-of-the-art videoboard was installed. The most recent phase of renovations, in 2024-25, saw new AstroTurf installed on the field, as well as the construction of a new clubhouse and batting cages. While the planned additions will significantly improve Duane Banks Field's overall experience for players, coaches, spectators, and media, the items involved in the second phase will need to be approved by the University of Iowa Board of Regents and the State of Iowa next week. If approved, the planned $5.8 million project funded by gifts to the Department of Athletics will begin construction in the summer of 2026.

1-800-STRIPER® Set To Paint The Town: Budget-Friendly Paved Lot Maintenance Comes To Fairfax
Established pavement striping company launches fresh franchise location in Fairfax, offering property owners affordable striping options for worn out parking lots, sport courts, and interior spaces. FAIRFAX, Va., June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 7, the newest 1-800-STRIPER® franchise rolled out in Fairfax, bringing business and property owners an affordable way to restore commercial and industrial parking lots—as well as plenty of other paved areas. 1-800-STRIPER® was founded more than 25 years ago on the belief that businesses don't need to spend a fortune on parking lot repairs and maintenance to make a good impression. Often, a fresh set of lines is all that's needed. The striping company offers customized layouts for parking lots and paved areas, ensuring ADA compliance, safety, and proper traffic flow. In addition, they provide layout and line painting for sports courts, interior markings for parking garages and factories, and temporary solutions for special events and construction sites. The 1-800-STRIPER® concept began in 1999 when founder Luke Menear saw an unmet need in the industry. After working for a pavement maintenance company for just a few weeks, he noticed many property owners were spending large amounts of money on unnecessary maintenance when a few freshly painted lines would yield the same results. He purchased the company's striping equipment and set out to make his vision a reality, providing quick, budget-friendly solutions for keeping parking lots safe and attractive. More than two decades and over a million lines later, the company continues to build the trust of its customers through fast, friendly service, and excellent results. 1-800-STRIPER® of Fairfax owner Mike Dhunjishah is looking forward to continuing the company's superior customer service and quality standards. "After retiring from the military, I wanted to stay connected to the community and create jobs for local veterans and their families. I'm excited to bring 1-800-STRIPER® to Northern Virginia—a region that deserves the best in service and reliability," he shared. "From businesses to neighborhoods, clear pavement markings make a big difference in safety and first impressions. My team and I are proud to deliver quality work with integrity, and we look forward to building lasting relationships throughout the community." Area business and property owners looking for a budget-friendly option for maintaining paved areas can call 703-570-6141 or visit to set up a free estimate.
