BIG NEWS: Everyone is talking about Cardano this week after ADA hit $2 again. ADA is now the third largest cryptocurrency, according to CoinGecko rankings. Just in case you’re wondering, CoinMarketCap agrees. Fans are expecting smart contracts on the blockchain in September. Two questions:
- Will it stay there? I think it may not because it isn’t that far above BNB and just a few cents change for either coin could have them flip places again.
