The price of Cardano (ADA) has reached an all-time high of $2.64 this morning, breaking the previous record of $2.54 set on Friday. ADA now trades for $2.58, up 4.5% from yesterday, according to data from crypto metrics site CoinGecko.
Cardano is the native token of the eponymous blockchain project helmed by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson. The altcoin overtook stablecoin Tether on August 13 as the third-largest cryptocurrency, with a market cap of $82 billion. ADA’s up 17% over the past week and 116% in the past month.
Cardano’s price surge began in earnest on August 10, when Hoskinson “pre-announced” the date when smart contracts would be integrated on the platform as part of the Alonzo network upgrade later this year. Three days after that “announcement of an announcement,” the development company behind Cardano, Input Output, disclosed the date as September 12.
Last month, Cardano received a big boost when investment firm Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund included the asset in its portfolio. As of this writing, 4.26% of the fund is invested in ADA. 67.47% of the fund is held in Bitcoin and 25.39% in Ethereum.
Since its inception in 2015, Ethereum has been the dominant platform for crypto companies to build projects on. Its combination of smart contracts and ERC-20 tokens allows anyone to create their own tokens on top of Ethereum’s infrastructure - that led to the birth of DeFi. As a result, a litany of other protocols has been racing to create their own versions of Ethereum’s ecosystem. Some of the quickest has been Solana, Tezos and Near, who have been aggressively courting developers to build on...
Other top-10 cryptocurrencies didn’t join Cardano’s celebration today. It’s all a faint hint of red for the market, with Bitcoin and Ethereum down 0.7% and 1.5%, respectively.
Bitcoin inched closer to $50,000 yesterday as it reached as high as $49,700. But that price mark proved to be too hard to topple; the price has since dropped back to $48,800.
Overall, however, the cryptocurrency market has made a strong recovery from the spring crash and summer slump. On Friday, the total market cap of cryptocurrencies once again passed $2 trillion. While the rising figures bring back jubilant memories of the spring, Cardano’s having the best time of its life.

The debate over whether Bitcoin is best suited for payments or as a store of value is flaring up again. This time, it comes after the price to send the leading cryptocurrency has been slashed. Top Bitcoin blockchain explorer Mempool posted this week that now users of the biggest crypto network can pay as low as 0.1 satoshi per virtual byte (sat/vByte) to get their transactions processed. A satoshi is the smallest unit of Bitcoin, with 1 satoshi equaling 0.00000001 BTC. Previously, it would cost...
Ethereum’s price has increased at nearly twice the rate of Solana’s over the past month, but the outperformance will likely be temporary, according to Adrian Fritz, head of research at Switzerland-based asset manager 21Shares. Although Ethereum is the most secure and decentralized smart contract platform, Solana is still a smaller project with more upside, partly due to its community of developers that are constantly striving for “better execution,” he told Decrypt on Friday. “Ethereum was almos...
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy can’t help sharing his crypto fumbles, notably declaring in 2021 that he “fucked up Bitcoin” by panic-selling his stash for a huge loss the year prior. But the outspoken personality continues to play in the crypto world, including launching his own Solana meme coins last year and pumping-and-dumping others. Now he’s griping publicly about selling off his stash of XRP before the prominent cryptocurrency surged to an all-time high on Thursday, breaking a record...
