ADA Surges 3.76% as Cardano Reclaims $30B Market Cap Ahead of Plomin Hard Fork

Cardano (ADA) has seen a 3.76% price increase over the last 24 hours, currently trading at 0.8609 USDT on Binance, with a 24-hour open of 0.8297 USDT. The recent price appreciation is attributed to renewed market interest following Cardano's reclaiming of the $30 billion market capitalization, strong technical support at the $0.82–$0.85 range, and anticipation surrounding the upcoming Plomin Hard Fork, which is expected to introduce full decentralized governance to the ecosystem. Additional momentum has been driven by a 73% surge in trading volumes earlier in the month and capital rotation into Layer-1 alternatives as Bitcoin and Ethereum consolidate. ADA/USDT remains one of the most actively traded pairs, with Binance reporting significant volume, and Cardano's market capitalization is currently around $31.52 billion, reflecting its position among the top cryptocurrencies.
