What’s going on with Cardano lately?
The sixth-largest crypto by market capitalization, Cardano trading volume is up 65% over the past 24 hours. What’s behind the popularity boost? Well, one thing investors seem to like is the release of the newest version of its digital wallet, named Daedalus.
Daedalus, available only on desktop computers, saw various improvements go into effect last week. One specific fix included fixing the blockchain verification process.
Additionally, investors seem to be generally confident in where Cardano is headed. After its Alonzo hard fork, the crypto ecosystem has been expanding and intriguing investors with updates. For instance, last week, Cardano reported hitting the 1,000 smart contract milestone.
And there’s even more positive news for the ADA crypto of late. On Feb. 3, Cardano reported adding more than 12,000 wallets per day since December, for 20.1% growth. This reflects the addition of more than 500,000 ADA wallets since Christmas, and 1,200% wallet growth since December 2020.
With all the momentum, let’s see what the experts think about Cardano’s strength.
