According to the company’s pre-release, in 2024, the network had 78 medical areas. Among the areas in which ADONIS operates are gynecology, reproductive medicine, pediatrics, surgery, endocrinology, neurology, and others.

In addition, in 2025, ADONIS ranks second in the TOP 10 private clinics in terms of online brand awareness (branded searches) “This is an indicator of digital awareness – how many people consciously search for the clinic’s name on the Internet. In 2024, we were ranked fourth in this category, so we moved up two positions in a year, which indicates an increase in the popularity and trust in the ADONIS brand,” the clinic said.

ADONIS also took fourth place in the national ranking of private clinics, while in 2024 the chain also took fourth place, but within the city of Kyiv.

The clinic chain also received 8 out of 10 points for the quality of service, convenience of digital services, fast communication with patients, and overall level of service. In 2024, this figure was 7 points.

“The one-point increase is evidence that the implemented changes and systematic service improvement were noticeable to patients and had a positive impact on their experience,” the clinic emphasized.

In 2025, ADONIS received 86% of positive reviews on Google, while in 2024 this figure was approximately 83%.

In addition, ADONIS in 2025 received 3 out of 4 points for the level of representation in social networks.

ADONIS also received the highest score of 5 out of 5 points from the expert jury from all three independent jury members of the Ukrainian Business Award, with an average score of 4.9 in 2024.

“This result emphasizes the growth of brand confidence, consistency in development, and a high level of professionalism recognized by leading industry experts,” the network said.

Bitcoin: institutional breakthrough and new market horizons

On July 14, the price of Bitcoin exceeded $120,000 for the first time in history, reaching a peak of $122,571. After that, the price stabilized at around $121,950. The daily growth was about 2–3%, and since the beginning of the year — almost 29%. Analysts attribute the dynamics to a massive influx of capital into Bitcoin-based exchange-traded funds (BTC-ETFs) — over $1 billion daily — and favorable expectations regarding regulation. This refers to the active debate surrounding the Genius Act bill and discussions during Crypto Week.

Institutional players, including giants such as BlackRock and Bitwise, are showing unprecedented activity: from January to July, net inflows into cryptocurrency products exceeded $14.4 billion. Bitcoin is increasingly being treated as a digital analogue of gold — a “store of strength” in times of financial volatility. Technical analysis indicates potential growth to $125,000–131,000 in the coming weeks. If the trend remains stable, the price could reach $200,000–250,000 by the end of the year.

Ethereum is not far behind. ETH updated its five-month high, rising to $3,060. Open interest in Ethereum futures reached $14.25 billion, and ETF inflows exceeded $1 billion. AI-based predictive models see ETH in the $3,000–3,200 range throughout July.

The altcoin market is also showing positive dynamics. XRP rose above $2.80, an increase of 6–7% over the week. The technical picture shows a breakout from the falling wedge formation, opening the way to $3 and possibly $4.35 as early as July. Solana is trading at $160–167, with potential to reach $186–200, while Cardano (ADA) is near $0.725 and showing an upward trend to $0.77. Investors are showing growing interest in assets such as CELO and DOGE, as well as new staking ETFs, particularly those based on Solana.

The total capitalization of the crypto market is approaching $3.8 trillion. Despite geopolitical instability, the market is showing a clear bullish trend. Central bank digital initiatives, including digital currency pilots (CBDCs) in Australia, are creating a favorable backdrop for further growth in crypto assets. Against this backdrop, Bitcoin is increasingly consolidating its status as a reserve asset, prompting large institutions and companies to withdraw significant amounts from traditional assets in favor of digital ones.

Price of hectare of land has increased by 60% since opening of land market

Over UAH 30 billion has been invested in land by Ukrainians in the four years since the opening of the agricultural land market, according to the StateGeoCadastre. Despite the coronavirus crisis and war, the average price of a hectare has increased by 60%. Currently, the average price per hectare is UAH 60.7 thousand. The number of transactions has increased by 13% in 4 years. Currently, the most expensive land is in Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv and Kyiv regions.

339,644 land sale and purchase transactions have been concluded since the opening of the land market in Ukraine in July 2021. In total, more than 636 thousand hectares were sold for UAH 30.4 billion. At the same time, the average price per hectare increased by 60% to UAH 60.7 thousand per hectare as of June 2025.

We follow the dynamics on the page about the Land Market in Ukraine.

The first months after the market opening were quite active. Thus, in July 2021, more than 2 thousand transactions were concluded, and the average price per hectare reached UAH 95.7 thousand. The excitement slowly subsided: the number of transactions increased, while the average price fell. Thus, in December 2021, a hectare cost UAH 33.7 thousand.

With the outbreak of a full-scale war, the market practically stopped, with 323 transactions in May 2022 alone. Recovery began in the summer, but volumes remained low: up to 4.6 thousand transactions per month. This was three times less than at the end of 2021.

In 2023, the market gradually stabilized: 4 to 7 thousand transactions were made every month. At the same time, the price was also growing: from 39 thousand UAH/ha at the beginning of the year to 42 thousand UAH/ha at the end of the year.

At the beginning of 2024, the land market became available to companies as well – the market revived, but the expected surge did not happen. This is likely due to restrictions on transactions with Ukrainian land for companies with foreign owners. For example, half of the top 10 companies in the agricultural sector according to the Opendatabot 2025 Index have foreign roots. Since March, the number of transactions has exceeded 9 thousand per month, and the total monthly value of transactions is over UAH 1 billion. The price per hectare in 2024 ranged from UAH 43-52 thousand.

If we compare the first half of 2025 with the first period of the land market (July-December 2021), the number of transactions increased by 13%, while the value of transactions almost tripled (from UAH 2.85 billion to UAH 8.22 billion).

Currently, land in Ivano-Frankivsk region is the most expensive – on average, a buyer pays UAH 126.6 thousand per hectare. Lviv region is next with 118.3 thousand UAH/ha, Kyiv region – 89.4 thousand UAH/ha, Ternopil region – 86.9 thousand UAH/ha. Among the frontline regions, Dnipropetrovs’k region leads in terms of agricultural land prices, with buyers paying an average of UAH 73.9 thousand per hectare.

The lowest land prices are in the frontline regions: Zaporizhzhia region – 38.3 thousand UAH/ha, Kherson region – 39.1 thousand UAH/ha, Chernihiv region – 41.1 thousand UAH/ha, Mykolaiv region – 41.6 thousand UAH/ha and Odesa region – 41.8 thousand UAH/ha.

This year, the most active land purchases are in Poltava (5.4 thousand transactions), Vinnytsia (5.4 thousand) and Kyiv (4.7 thousand).
