Here’s The Most Recent Cardano ADA News
The Cardano ADA project has been making major strides amidst the crypto market turmoil that we have been experienced in the last few weeks. Many of the updates have been made public via Twitter, medium, and Reddit, but it is worth reminding ourselves why we love the project. Therefore, let us look into the recent Cardano ADA news.
Numerous Meetups Around the Globe
The Cardano Global community is constantly growing with a lot of meetups being organized across the world. Below is a list of future meetups. Local Cardano community members are encouraged to attend.
-
- Meetup in Mongolia with Charles Hoskinson – 15th September 2018
- Meetup in Colombia – 26th September 2018
- Meetup in Palo Alto – 26th September 2018
Cardano ADA news featured on Forbes
The Cardano project was featured on Forbes in a post that was published on the 7th of September. In the article by Yoav Vilner, he described Cardano as one of the best-known blockchain projects due to its research-based approach. He also added that the IOHK team differentiates itself by employing a first principles approach that is driven by peer-reviewed academic research to build the platform from the ground up.
September Technical Updates
The Cardano team released the latest version of the Daedalus Wallet that is now available on the Cardano website. The new wallet fixed a lot of networking issues as well as making the loading of the blockchain much faster and from scratch. Daedalus is currently the only wallet that supports ADA.
The project is currently in the Byron phase and the team is making back-end improvements to the code as well as improving the Daedalus wallet. After the Byron phase is complete, the much awaited Shelley phase will commence which is the decentralization of the network.
Existing smart contract models on the Cardano network are still being worked on by IOHK. The team has increased the allocation of resources to enable its team to embark on parallel tracks of research on the smart contracts in terms of fixing the issues seen in Ethereum smart contracts, as well as improving the general foundational design of the contracts.
A voting system is going to be implemented where the community decides on Cardano Improvement Proposals (CIPs). Details of the voting system will be released soon. The prospects of the community voting on project improvements is a sign that the platform is going to be purely decentralized.
Brief Market Analysis
The crypto markets have once again shown us that they are capable of bouncing back after a massive decline that left many of our cryptocurrency portfolios declining by at least 20%. Checking the charts, the King of Crypto, also known as Bitcoin (BTC) has once again risen to levels above $6,500 and at the moment of writing this. Further looking at Ethereum (ETH), the digital asset had scared many of us when it looked like it was losing its mojo when it had depreciated to new lows of $171. ETH is now valued at $207 and up 20.40% in the last 24 hours.
Further going down the list of the top 20 digital assets, we find Cardano (ADA) ranked 10th according to market capitalization. The digital asset is currently up 10.67% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.070. One can attribute the massive bounce of ADA in the markets as being due to the recent listing on Bittrex.
With the Cardano roadmap constantly evolving and with the prospects of the community voting system, the Cardano project is setting itself up for a bright future in terms of technical advancements and complete decentralization. These two factors will be crucial in propping the price of the digital asset of ADA to new heights.

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.
SOL Outlook
Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.
The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.
This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…
Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.
Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally
Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.
The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.
Cited figures provided by DeFi aggregator DeFiLlama…
Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.
SOL’s Bullish Cues
Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.
In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.
Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
