Investors often ponder whether a cryptocurrency’s price will surge, and while market predictions are uncertain, Cardano (ADA) has shown consistent adoption growth this year. This uptick in adoption suggests that increasing demand could potentially drive a price increase.
ADA, Cardano’s native token, has surged by over 52.8% this year and more than 50.6% in the last 30 days. This growth aligns with positive trends in various metrics, including the total value locked in its decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. The total value locked has risen from just under 200 million ADA at the beginning of the year to an impressive 684.7 million ADA.
As Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem expands, key initiatives within it, like the collateralized debt protocol Indigo and decentralized exchange Minswap, have witnessed their total value locked surpassing $50 million.
Moreover, Cardano maintains its leading position in cryptocurrency development activities, surpassing competitors like Polkadot ($DOT) and its public pre-production environment Kusama ($KSM) in this regard.
Cardano (ADA) Development Outpaces Peers, Price Predictions Vary
Cardano’s development activity outpaced major cryptocurrencies, as per data from on-chain analytics firm Santiment. Hedera ($HBAR) followed, with Polkadot and Kusama ahead, and Aptos ($APT) securing fifth place.
In early November, whale transactions in ADA surpassed the entire October total, coinciding with a surge in ADA transaction volume from 237 million to 332 million, contributing to the price uptick.
Predictions for Cardano’s November price suggest moderate growth, while some analysts speculate an astonishing surge of over 9,000% with a future target of $30.
