Cardano (ADA)
Institutional Interest and ETFs
There’s a heightened institutional interest in Cardano. That’s because of potential Cardano ETF approvals. However, we have an unfortunate situation of a US Government shutdown at our hands. This means that these approvals can face a delay. As a result, the chance of an approval in 2025 on Polymarket dropped from 95 % to 93 %.
Two ETF approvals are planned for October 2025.
▪️October 7: Grayscale’s proposal to convert its Cardano Trust into a spot ETF.
▪️October 26: Tuttle Capital’s Cardano ETF application.

Ecosystem Expansion and Upgrades
We recently saw the implementation of the Plomin Hard Fork. This brought full decentralized governance to Cardano. In the US, eToro brought ADA staking to its customers. Furthermore, the Midnight Layer 2 chain will bring privacy to Cardano. This will also improve security.

Whale Accumulation
During last week, ADA whales hunted down another 70 million ADA. Such an accumulation suggests that high‑net‑worth investors expect favorable market movement. It positions ADA for potential growth. The current ADA price is 84 cents. If ADA breaks above 95 cents, it could see an upwards move to $1.95.
