$ADA Cardano (ADA) is a prominent Proof-of-Stake blockchain platform known for its research-driven approach to development. Its native cryptocurrency, ADA, currently trades around $0.63, with a market capitalization of approximately $22.4 billion.

Recent news includes its inclusion in Nasdaq's expanded crypto index, a move that boosted its visibility and trading volume. However, ADA has experienced some price volatility due to community debate over a $100 million treasury proposal aimed at boosting stablecoin liquidity, alongside broader macro weaknesses. Despite short-term fluctuations, whale accumulation and ongoing developments like the "Chang" hard fork (part of the "Voltaire" era, enabling on-chain governance and full decentralization) continue to be key factors influencing its long-term outlook.
