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.
War, geopolitical uncertainty, President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill"—with so much going on, what could possibly be shaking the Bitcoin market today? How about one of the biggest Bitcoin holders in history suddenly moving $8 billion from their wallet? Yikes. The crypto community was shaken today by the movement of 80,000 BTC—worth approximately $8.6 billion at today’s prices—from wallets that had remained dormant for over 14 years. This "OG" holder, who controls the funds across eight wal...
Major altcoins have dropped after U.S. President Donald Trump stirred up trade tensions by threatening tariffs once again, while the controversial “Big, Beautiful Bill” passed its final hurdle in Congress on Thursday—much to the dismay of Tesla CEO Elon Musk. XRP has dropped 2.8% over the past 24 hours, with Solana falling 2.6%, and Cardano 4%. Fan favorite Dogecoin has also tumbled by 4% and Hyperliquid 4.7%. “President Donald Trump signaled that new tariff notices could be issued as early as...
The crypto market is showing relative calm Thursday, with top assets mostly flat on the day as traders digest positive macro news and consider where to allocate their positions. Bitcoin gained 0.4% in the past 24 hours, trading near $109,800 after briefly reaching a daily high of $110,590, according to CoinGecko. Ethereum also climbed above $2,590, though traders remain uncertain about its direction as prices continue to move sideways. Almost all of the top 100 coins have posted single-digit mov...
