The next undervalued potential coin: ADA is slowly waking up
Cardano (ADA) potential analysis: a robust chain, welcoming the second wave of ecological cycles
Cardano is currently one of the few Layer-1 blockchains that adhere to the 'academic route + layered architecture' development. Since 2025, there are several key points to note:
📈 Fundamentals
• Hydra Layer-2 advancement: stable performance on the testnet, mainnet deployment expected to double TPS and improve DeFi performance bottlenecks.
• Ecosystem warming: TVL has risen in the past six months, and developer activity has increased, particularly in the NFT and DeFi sectors, showing renewed momentum.
• High staking participation rate: about 60% of circulating ADA participates in staking, indicating strong long-term trust.
⚠️ Risk Reminder:
• If upgrades are delayed or the ecosystem progresses below expectations, short-term impacts may be amplified by the market.
• Intense competitive pressure from strong chains like ETH, SOL, and TON; it remains to be seen if Cardano can attract new users.
• Governance pace is relatively slow, and policy or funding direction can affect community sentiment.
Cardano is not a speculative coin but rather a 'steady and slow' type.
Its advantages lie in safety, decentralization, and long-term scalability.
If Hydra and cross-chain modules are successfully implemented, ADA has a chance to return to the top five mainstream chains.
