Cardano (ADA), the eighth-largest cryptocurrencycryptocurrency by market cap, has surged in price today by nearly 12%. ADA is now trading for roughly $0.0930.
This marks the tallest peak that the cryptocurrency has reached in one year. At the end of June last year, ADA was trading right at the $0.90 mark, meaning it has taken roughly 12 months for ADA to regain the losses it has suffered since then.
By February 2019, Cardano was trading for as little as $0.071 per coin. In March of this year, following the coronavirus-induced Black Thursday market crash, ADA sank all the way down to $0.025.
It would not be until late May and early June of this year that Cardano once again began to pick up steam—not coincidentally around the same time that IOHK CEO Charles Hoskinson announced that the long-awaited Shelley upgrade to the blockchainblockchain network would soon be launched.
The Cardano blockchain is set to enter a transformative new era over the coming weeks. Its transition from “Byron,” a static, federated blockchain, to “Shelley,” the dynamic, decentralized version, is due to kick off today, with the release of the Shelley code. (There’s a backup date, 7 July—in case things go pear-shaped.) “Shelley will finally show us whether Cardano's technology has what it takes to become a truly decentralized and scalable global crypto asset,” Juan Villaverde, who leads the...
Today’s big price spike follows news that the Shelley upgrade is now underway, just as scheduled. ADA hodlershodlers can now begin moving their funds to updated Cardano wallets, which will make them eligible for staking rewards on the mainnetmainnet once they become available beginning August 18. Shelley is slated to make the Cardano network more decentralized and efficient for community members.
Cardano is by far today’s biggest winner in terms of price movements within the crypto top 10, but the rest of the market is currently seeing small gains. BitcoinBitcoin is up 1.7% while Ethereum hodlers are up 3.2% on the day.

It certainly feels like altcoin season is in the air. With Bitcoin trading sideways today, crypto traders appear to have their eyes set elsewhere: Ethereum has surged past the $3,300 mark, currently trading at $3,339.13 after a strong 20% weekly gain. XRP is up another 12% today, eclipsing its 2018 all-time high. Could Solana, the Ethereum rival sitting just outside of the top 5 coins by market cap, be next? The macro picture continues to look promising for risk assets. The cryptocurrency market...
Ethereum exchange-traded funds generated more than $726 million in investments on Wednesday, the highest level in their nearly year-long trading history, as the price of their underlying asset rose to its highest level since January. The nine funds have collectively netted $2.3 billion over a nine-day streak of inflows dating to July 3, according to UK asset manager Farside Investors. Ethereum was recently trading just below the $3,500 mark on Thursday, continuing its own recent momentum with a...
The price of XRP rose to a record high on Thursday, soaring past a seven-year-old milestone amid broader momentum for altcoins in the cryptocurrency market. The Ripple Labs-linked coin was recently changing hands around $3.41, rising more than 36% over the past week, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko. The previous record was $3.40, set all the way back in January 2018. Ethereum and Solana had also outperformed Bitcoin’s weekly 5.5% rise, meanwhile jumping 21% and 8%, respectively. The...
