According to the current trend of ADA, Bitcoin is expected to rise tenfold and break 1 million USD, but this thing is struggling to grow tenfold.

The current ADA price is approximately $0.778. If it achieves a tenfold increase, the potential future price will reach $7.78, with a market capitalization of about $270 billion. This prediction is not fanciful but is based on Cardano's strong potential driven by multiple factors such as technological innovation, ecosystem expansion, and market demand.

1. Technological Progress: The Combination of Smart Contracts and Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Since the Vasil upgrade, Cardano's smart contract platform Plutus has significantly expanded, with the number of smart contracts surpassing 24,000, and network performance has greatly improved. In 2024, Cardano also implemented zero-knowledge smart contracts based on Halo 2 zkSNARK on the mainnet, opening up new avenues for privacy protection and scalability in the blockchain. Meanwhile, advancements in the Hydra Layer2 solution further increased Cardano's transaction throughput, enabling it to support the demands of more large-scale applications.
