In the early hours of Tuesday, ADA traded 1% lower at $2.79 over 24 hours and fell 2.77% over seven days.

ADA traded 0.42% and 4.16% lower against Bitcoin BTC/USD and Ethereum ETH/USD respectively over 24 hours.

Since the year began, ADA has soared 1,492.46%. The cryptocurrency hit an all-time high of $2.97 seven days ago.

Since those highs, ADA has fallen 5.89%, but one analyst thinks the cryptocurrency has yet to see “peak hype.”

The analyst Kaleo on Twitter forecast “clear skies” all the way to the previous all-time high. 

Why It Matters: The Charles Hoskinson-created Cardano is due to usher in smart contract functionality on Sept. 15, which fueled its rise last week.

The smart contract buzz has even attracted a paper Dogecoin DOGE/USD millionaire, Glauber Contessoto, to the Cardano fold. 

“I’m going to start buying up as much Cardano as humanely possible with every bit of money I start making from now on,” Contessoto told CNBC last week.

Recently, Cardano was also listed on the Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Bitpoint, which sparked a rise in its prices.

Additionally, the project announced the availability of Ethereum smart contracts on Cardano.
