Editor's note: This story initially reported, via another news site, that the Cardano token had been "added to Bloomberg Terminal." That was incorrect—as a Bloomberg spokesperson has confirmed to Decrypt, the terminal only shows a definition of Cardano, not its price data.
According to BeInCrypto, Cardano has been added to the Bloomberg Terminal, a platform used by professional traders. It is a move that could expose the cryptocurrency to a new wave of potential investors.
Cardano is a peer-reviewed blockchain that uses the native currency ADA. Bloomberg on Sunday ran a story about the token's recent meteoric price rise, but by Monday ADA was following the broader crypto market’s downtrend, falling by almost 5% in the last 24 hours and 9.5% over the past week.

Still, since the start of 2021 ADA has seen high levels of growth—opening the year at 18 cents, but currently sitting at $1.02.
ADA ranks fifth by market capitalization among all cryptocurrencies, according to Coinmarketcap, with a total market cap of $32 billion.
Just last week, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz asked his Twitter followers whether any of them could make a bull case for ADA. “Does anyone build on it? Use it? Why is market cap so high?” he wrote, adding, “Should it be a funding asset? It’s one of the few cryptos I haven’t traded in my life.”
Last question before I go shower, can anyone make a real bull case for $ADA? Does anyone build on it? Use it? Why is market cap so high? Should it be a funding asset? It’s one of the few cryptos I haven’t traded in my life.
The Cardano roadmap is organized into five eras: Byron, Shelley, Goguen, Basho and Voltaire. The Goguen phase, which aims to give Cardano users the opportunity to create and execute smart contracts on the Cardano network itself, is expected in the coming months.
