Cosmos Reaches 100-Chain Milestone as ATOM Slides Toward Key Support at $4.56

Technical Picture Remains Mixed

Cosmos’ native token ATOM declined 4.51% over the 24-hour period ending at 11:00 UTC on July 29, falling from $4.88 to $4.66 as repeated recovery attempts failed to gain traction.

Despite the price weakness, the Cosmos ecosystem achieved a notable milestone with more than 100 active chains now tracked on MapOfZones. Meanwhile, integration of XRP into the Cosmos network continues to progress via Cosmos SDK and IBC protocols.

In a major ecosystem development, ShadeX launched as the network’s first encrypted money market, offering institutional-grade privacy using CosmosSDK and CosmWasm technology.
