Cardano's ADA has trended lower since last August and is now approaching a pivotal monthly support at $0.247. If May closes below that level, analyst Ali Martinez says ADA could enter a deeper downside phase, with next targets at $0.113 and $0.051. ADA was trading around $0.237 at the time of writing, up more than 2% over the past 24 hours.

XRP finished Q1 2026 at $1.34, down 27.1% QoQ, and its $82.21 billion market cap left it behind BNB in the rankings. The period also saw U.S. spot XRP ETFs—launched in Q4 2025—reach $1 billion AUM within four weeks, alongside XRPL posting a $2.25 billion RWA market cap high. Ripple's RLUSD ended the quarter at a $340.3 million XRPL market cap, up 45% QoQ.

Ethena's ENA drew fresh attention after team-linked wallets sent 7.524M ENA (about $672,000) to Binance, ahead of a scheduled unlock of more than 267M ENA valued at $23.6M between June 2 and June 5. ENA remained range-bound between $0.0790 and $0.1323, rebounding to $0.0912 (+3.44%) while derivatives data showed a negative OI-weighted funding rate near -0.0014%.

Ethereum traded around $2,000–$2,020 on the last day of May 2026 after falling about -32.4% year-to-date, with analysts closely watching the $1,975–$2,000 support band. Spot ETH ETFs recorded about 9,000 ETH of net redemptions on May 29, while the ETH/BTC ratio slipped to roughly 0.027. The next "Glamsterdam" upgrade is slated for H1–Q3 2026, with testing indicating a gas-limit increase of up to 3.3x.

The Cardano Foundation said it will not proceed with its planned Cardano Summit 2026 after an onchain treasury vote failed to meet the required supermajority. The revised request sought 7.8 million ADA (about $2 million) and ended with 65.21% of participating DRep stake in favor, below the 66.67% threshold, following a May 29 vote close.

Ethereum still concentrates 50%+ of the $30 billion+ real-world asset (RWA) value on-chain, and also holds 50%+ of stablecoin liquidity, underscoring its role in institutional tokenization. Yet ETH has fallen over 30% so far in 2026, while leverage has built near the $2k support zone and Ethereum ETF products saw over $500 million in outflows in May. The gap between network-level dominance and weak price action is keeping the “ETH as a speculative asset” debate active.

In Q1, XRP underperformed even as the XRP Ledger's on-chain indicators strengthened. XRP's market cap fell 26% QoQ to about $82 billion and its price dropped 27% to $1.34, while average daily XRPL transactions rose 35% from 1.83 million to 2.48 million. The quarter also saw RLUSD reach a $340.3 million XRPL market cap and tokenized real-world assets climb 124% QoQ to $2.25 billion.

Price is now pressing the 100-day SMA at $9.226, while repeated rejections at the 0.382 Fib near $9.45 and the 50-day SMA at $9.52 define the next resistance zone.
