The crypto community has long awaited a pro-crypto era in the U.S., hoping for clearer regulations and support for innovation. Half of that vision began to take shape when Trump took office, promising to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world. Now, the other half is falling into place as Paul Atkins is officially sworn in as SEC Chair.
“The Perfect Person”
President Trump was beside the newly-sworn in SEC Chair as he took office and promised to make the SEC’s approach to regulating digital assets more sensible and fair. Trump introduced Atkins as the “perfect person” to lead the SEC, during the swearing-in ceremony. Trump was also hopeful that Atkins would put an end to the SEC’s misuse of power and unfair enforcement action under Biden’s administration.
He called ‘digital asset regulation’ to be a top priority of his and he would provide a solid regulatory foundation, as he resumes his role.
“A top priority in my chairmanship will be to provide a firm regulatory foundation for digital assets through a rational, coherent, and principled approach,” he said.
He also ensured that he would make the US the most safest and supportive country in the world, to smoothly carry on crypto operations an activities and keep politics out of securities regulations.
Industry Experts’ Faith In Atkins
Several crypto advocates have voiced their support and belief in Atkins as the industry gears up for a major shift from an enforcement-focused approach to a regulatory clarity and guidance-driven framework.
“SEC Chairman Paul Atkins will be good for Bitcoin,” said Michael Saylor, the CEO of Strategy (formerly Microstrategy).
SteelWave Digital’s Founder, Mitchell DiRaimondo, summed it up perfectly saying “Atkins brings the clarity we need right now.” “Bitcoin finally has an ally in the SEC. Let the bull run begin,” commented the FIO Protocol.
The SEC has been making steady progress under Acting Chair Mark Uyeda. A Virtual Currency Task Force, led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, was created in January to reshape virtual currency regulation. It has already held two roundtables discussing key issues. The third meeting scheduled on April 25th, will focus on crypto custody.
In the past 48-hours, Cardano price faced rejection at the channel’s upper border, coinciding with renewed trade pressures. As, Donald Trump’s announcement of a 50% tariff on the European Union, effective June 1, has reignited concerns.
Despite this looming threat, ADA’s price has remained stable, indicating that the market has adjusted to such sentiments, with investors showing less volatility. Some experts even suggest that ADA’s current consolidation pattern may lay a healthier foundation for a potential breakout toward the $1 range.
Additionally, this week, Messari released its Q1 report, highlighting some positive metrics despite Cardano’s financial challenges. The report indicates that the community remains resilient, focusing on long-term growth and stability. Keep reading to know more.
Analyst Says Cardano Price Aims $1
Cardano’s price has been caught in a lengthy consolidation phase within a falling channel, largely influenced by ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and other countries. This trade climate pushed ADA price down to the $0.50 mark in April.
However, a turning point came in mid-April when ADA began to recover, climbing to the upper boundary of the channel and reaching $0.85 in May. This rebound was fueled by a decrease in trade tensions, particularly after the UK signed a significant deal.
However, recent tensions with EU resurfacing has left many investors worried, but knowing the threat ADA price has not fallen beneath key EMA’s, and until it doesn’t break key supports the bullish views remain intact.
More to its price, a deep analysis of this week has been at the center of attraction. According to technical analysis from Dan Gambardello, the Cardano price action displays a markedly different pattern compared to its previous bull market cycle.
He says, unlike the last cycle where ADA experienced a single dip after exiting the bear market before going parabolic, the current consolidation shows a more methodical approach with repeated pump and consolidate phases.
This extended consolidation period is a “coiling” effect. He feels that Cardano price could smash $1, if it meets all bullish conditions.
Gambardello notes that this coiling behavior is not limited to Cardano price. The extended sideways movement has allowed for healthier price support levels, in other altcoin’s too.
Additionally, Analyst Dan Gambardello uses Ethereum as a roadmap for altcoin performance. He noted that ETH is currently testing a multi-cycle trend line that has historical importance for the entire altcoin sector.
Ethereum breakout would cause an altcoin move. It would be a more favorable time for tokens like Cardano crypto that have consolidated and formed technical bases in this extended build-up phase.
Cardano’s Report By Messari: Total Stablecoin Market Cap & ADA’s Treasury Balance Increased
In a recent report, by Messari said that Cardano’s performance during Q1 2025 was tough. It revealed that its quarter was filled with challenges. As its native token, ADA price, took a hit, which led to a decline in its circulating market cap.
Despite these hurdles, Cardano still made significant strides in governance, like the activation of the Plomin Hard Fork was the biggest accomplishment.
Interestingly, the report further highlighted that, while the ADA price volatility affected its most of the market sentiment, but the commitment to staking still remained remarkably stable.
The stats showed that the total staked ADA saw only a slight decrease of 1%, settling at 21.6 billion ADA.
In contrast, some metrics performed exceptionally like the stablecoin market, messari said that it expanded by 30% to reach a market cap of $30.1 million. This increased was largely driven by the popularity of fiat-backed options like USDM, IUSD, USDA, and others.
Additionally, Cardano’s treasury balance showed resilience, increasing by 5% quarter-over-quarter to 1.7 billion ADA. However, the U.S. dollar value of the treasury took a hit, dropping 19% to approximately $1.1 billion.
Overall, while Cardano faced financial challenges, its governance advancements and stable staking commitment highlight the community’s ongoing dedication to the platform’s future.

Today, March 5, 2025, Uniswap (UNI) has registered an 8% price gain. However, it appears bearish and is poised for a decline, potentially due to a crypto whale dumping UNI tokens.
Whale Dump $40.60 Million Worth of UNI Tokens
Today, blockchain-based transaction tracker Lookonchain posted on X (formerly Twitter) that a prominent crypto whale, Galaxy Digital, deposited 600K UNI tokens worth $4.37 million onto Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.
Galaxy Digital deposited another 600K $UNI($4.37M) to #Binance and #OKX 30 minutes ago.
However, the main concern driving fears of a price drop is that Galaxy has already deposited a significant 5.29 million UNI tokens worth $40.60 million on Binance and OKX over the past week.
Current Price Momentum
With all this, the asset is trading near $7.37, gaining 8% in the past 24 hours. However, during the same period, its trading volume dropped by 35%, indicating lower participation from traders and investors compared to the previous day. This decline was potentially caused by the sell-off and ongoing price fluctuations.
Uniswap (UNI) Price Action and Upcoming Levels
According to expert technical analysis, UNI appears bearish as it is already trading below the crucial support level of $8. With recent price fluctuations, it has retested this level and seems to be consolidating. Based on recent price action and historical patterns, if UNI fails to climb above the $8 level, it could drop by 25% to reach $5.50 in the coming days.
Source: Trading View
As of now, the asset is trading below the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the daily timeframe, indicating a bearish trend. This technical indicator helps traders and investors determine whether the asset is in an uptrend or downtrend, allowing them to build their positions accordingly, either on the long or short side.
This ongoing dump by Galaxy Digital has the potential to increase selling pressure, further reinforcing the bearish outlook.
