The price of Cardano (ADA) has surged 30% in the past day, buoyed by upcoming developments for the protocol and a favorable sentiment among cryptocurrency speculators. It trades at $0.45 at press time, hitting prices last seen three years ago in January 2018.
Launched in 2017 by former Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, Cardano is a proof-of-stake protocol that allows users to run smart contracts atop its blockchain. Its current version, “Shelley,” bought about staking rewards in 2020, marking the start of the second phase of its multiyear, five-phase launch.
Now, with fundamental catalysts upcoming and a favorable technical chart, the speculators are piling in.
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, sat down with the Decrypt Daily podcast today to talk about why blockchains shouldn’t try to fence themselves off, how high moral standards help development and why the cryptosphere should strive to be better than the traditional finance world. Hoskinson kicked off the discussion by explaining why various blockchain networks should strive for interoperability instead of wallowing in their own ecosystems. “Well, I mean, it's like common sense in every other...
Later this month, Cardano will see the launch of native assets on its blockchain, allowing users to issue their own tokens that, in turn, run on Cardano. The project’s developers say that such tokens will be faster and more scalable than existing blockchains, such as the widely popular ERC-20 tokens which run on Ethereum.
For those who missed the update, Native Tokens are coming to the #Cardano main net end of Feb.

Another positive catalyst is the (upcoming) complete decentralization of Cardano’s staking pools in March. As per a post by Cardano’s development team IOHK last year, the network’s block production will be fully decentralized—meaning IOHK will have no role to play in the network anymore (apart from development).
Meanwhile, as the chart below shows, ADA broke out from a major resistance level of $0.35-$0.37 in the past day, signifying traders and market participants are now valuing it at higher prices than the past few weeks, where there were significant dips.
ADA also trades well above its 34-day moving average—a popular indicator used by traders that calculates the average prices over recent time periods to determine a market trend—and remains in a strong uptrend.
But despite the surge, ADA still has a long way to go before meeting its previous all-time high of $1.41 in the first week of 2018—that is, unless it rides a WallStreetBets-like wave.
Healthcare company Basel Medical Group (NASDAQ: BMGL) joined a growing list of publicly held companies that are intent on adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets, announcing Friday that it had "begun exclusive negotiations" for a $1 billion BTC investment. The Singapore-based company, which provides orthopedic and trauma services, said if approved, the buy would help it have one of the strongest balance sheets in healthcare companies in Asia. Basel Medical Group said in a statement that the $1...
The State of Wisconsin Investment Board quietly liquidated its entire $300 million stake in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) sometime during the first quarter of 2025, according to a new 13F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday. The sale occurred against the backdrop of growing market uncertainty triggered by a wave of U.S. tariffs that rattled global trade and risk assets. Notably, the filing’s cutoff date—March 31—came just two days before the so-called ‘...
Bitcoin has more potential upside than gold, continuing a trend seen in recent months as the largest digital asset by market value has rallied, JP Morgan analysts wrote in a note published Thursday. Analysts noted that Bitcoin has been buoyed by a range of catalysts lately, including growing corporate treasury allocations and legislation, both proposed and enacted, allowing states to invest in the asset. They also pointed to recent acquisitions by Coinbase and Kraken as signs of a maturing futur...
