The Cardano Card's shutdown is corroborated by both Crypto Economy and U.Today, with both outlets highlighting the card's support for a wide range of cryptocurrencies. While Crypto Economy emphasizes the card's multi-currency functionality, U.Today specifically mentions SOL as one of the supported cryptocurrencies.
In terms of on-chain data, Ethereum's DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL) is $51.18 billion, according to DeFiLlama, while Bitcoin's DeFi TVL is $4.45 billion. These figures reflect the current state of decentralized finance, which continues to be a significant component of the broader crypto market.
The overall crypto market remains relatively flat, with Bitcoin trading at $83,437, up 0.79% in the last 24 hours, and Ethereum at $2,517.36, down 0.55% in the same period. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 57, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors.

The chart plots BTC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹8.71M (about $83,346.00), up 1.1% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.0% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
