I like ADA also they are currently very cheap

SOL is the casino. ADA is the mission. SHIB is the 100x dream. Traders in ‘choose your faith’ mode 🔮

I am doing the same thing. I have essentially converted my savings account into crypto holdings, DCA what I can afford each week out of my check. I intend to quit my job and start a business within the next 3 or so years. My overall goal is to beat the yield of a HYSA, not get rich. I am 1 year in, putting about 20% of my earnings each week.
There has been ups and downs. I have found several situations where I must sell tax lots at a profit, drawing down a bit- but only for necessary expenses. For example I just moved and treated myself to new cookware (I had just 1 very old pot and pan).
I personally am diversified across about 10 of the most popular cryptos including some altcoins like ADA and XRP. My thinking is these coins have a lot of potential, and possibly (probably) more upside, esp in the near term.
Just make a plan and stick to it. I see nothing wrong with being overly aggressive in saving and having to pull some out. Expenses don't stop.
I just know, deep down in my bones. That one day the time will be right to cash out, and it will all have been worth it

Not answering as a retail user here, but from a platform perspective. We’re UEX US, a very young (a few months old) exchange startup.
From what we see, the most commonly staked assets are ETH, SOL, and ADA because they offer relatively easy access to liquidity without long lockups. Some of the higher-yield staking opportunities are on assets like ATOM, which has a longer unbonding period (around 21 days).
For staking rewards to actually matter, you generally need a meaningful position and a long-term view. If someone holds an asset they believe in for multiple cycles, earning 5–6% while keeping exposure can make sense. Short-term trading often ends up wiping out whatever staking gains you would have gotten.
On our side we also offer “savings accounts,” which are basically a simpler alternative to staking, with yields in the ~3.5% to 16% APY range depending on the asset. Not advertising or dropping links — if anyone’s curious you can just check the profile. We’re a new product and very open to communication both video and audio, feedback etc.

KBC Group (Euronext Brussels: KBC) will begin offering crypto trading services on February 16, 2026. The second largest bank in Belgium, which has more than $300 billion in assets under management (AUM), is the first bank in the country to offer regulated crypto trading services.
The bank stated that BaFin authorized its crypto trading platform meinKrypto to offer trading services across Europe for Bitcoin (BTC),[ ](https://coinpedia.org/price-analysis/bitcoin-price-forecast-99k-or-87k-next-u-s-investors-turn-bullish/)**Litecoin (LTC)**, Ethereum (ETH), and Cardano (ADA).
Official source: [As of mid‑February, KBC will be the first Belgian bank to offer the possibility to buy and sell crypto through Bolero](https://newsroom.kbc.com/as-of-mid-february-kbc-will-be-the-first-belgian-bank-to-offer-the-possibility-to-buy-and-sell-crypto-through-bolero)

Monero isn't far off of knocking ADA out of the top 10

Here's mine. Maybe you can have a look at these coins/token: ADA, RISE, RYO, CHMB, POL

Oh, I didn't know it was much worse before...
They trade 230+ cryptos on RevX, but they don't say how many of them can actually be withdrawn to an external address.
As of now, provided it doesn't change in the future, **we can** withdraw the followings: BTC, ETH, DOGE, LITE, UNI, AVAX, SOL, DOT, XRP and probably some others which I'm not aware of.
We, however, **can not** withdraw TON, TRX, SUI, ADA, ARB and probably many many more.
So, if you plan buying and withdrawing anything, better check in advance that it is even possible. You can buy €0.1 worth of that respective asset and check if you see it in the "Withdraw/Send crypto" list.

I’m seeing a lot of posts saying 2026 could be more of an altcoin year, especially if $BTC turns more institutional and less wild.
A “2026 powerlist” that keeps popping up has the same names: $XRP $ETH $SOL $WBT $ZEC $ADA $XMR
If BTC holds up, the usual rotation is BTC →majors (ETH/SOL/XRP) → smaller caps.
What’s your top pick for 2026 and why?

Ergo is its own project, the ties to ADA are there but it isn't something that big like people imagine, yes they have funding that came from ADA catalyst, but the funding was only approved because it bennefited both blockchains, like Rosen Bridge connecting Ergo with all major blockchains and per consequence also ADA gets connected. Ergo has a very big infrastruture built already it just misses liquidity being brought to it, but the infrastructure is there and contimues to be built agressively despite the price drop, that's something that clearly distinguishes ERGO.

Ergo needs to stop being so tied to ADA, at least conceptually

Hey r/Cardano!
As we kick off 2026, the buzz around *Ouroboros Leios* is heating up – this could be the game-changer Cardano needs for massive throughput without sacrificing decentralization. Here's a quick, neutral breakdown based on the latest updates from IOG and Intersect:
**What is Leios?**
Leios (or Ouroboros Leios) is Cardano's next-gen consensus upgrade, building on Ouroboros Praos. It introduces a two-tier block system: "input/endorsement blocks" for parallel processing and "ranking blocks" for a single linear chain. This decouples transaction inclusion from final ordering, aiming to boost base-layer TPS from current levels (\~10-20 TPS) to **300–1,000+ TPS based on simulations, with potential for up to 10,000 TPS in optimized scenarios** while keeping PoS security intact.
**Latest Progress (as of mid-Jan 2026):**
* CIP-0164 has been finalized and merged as of January 6, 2026, providing the blueprint for the two-tier system to reduce MEV risks and enhance scalability.
* Overall implementation tracker is at \~67% completion, with active work on specs, simulations, and prototypes.
* Simulations show **30-50x throughput gains** under normal conditions (up to 60x in some projections), with a dedicated testnet planned before mainnet rollout (likely Q1-Q2 2026).
* Ties into broader 2026 roadmap: Complements Hydra, Mithril, and Minotaur for full Voltaire-era maturity.
**Why It Matters for Cardano:**
This isn't just about speed – Leios positions Cardano as an enterprise-ready blockchain, potentially driving TVL growth, more dApps, and ADA adoption. With recent governance wins (like the ratification of the Net Change Limit extension and Curia elections restoring the Constitutional Committee), the ecosystem feels more robust than ever.
Check out the official Leios development tracker for real-time updates: [https://leios.cardano-scaling.org/](https://leios.cardano-scaling.org/)
**What do you think** – will Leios finally silence the "ghost chain" critics? How might it impact your favorite Cardano projects? Share your takes below! Let's discuss. 📈

I’m seeing a lot of posts saying 2026 could be more of an altcoin year, especially if [$BTC](https://) turns more institutional and less wild.

A “2026 powerlist” that keeps popping up has the same names:
[$XRP](https://) [$ETH](https://) [$SOL](https://) [$WBT](https://) [$ZEC](https://) [$ADA](https://) [$XMR](https://)

If BTC holds up, the usual rotation is BTC → majors (ETH/SOL/XRP) → smaller caps.

What’s your top pick for 2026 and why?

I’m seeing more discussions suggesting 2026 could lean more toward altcoins, especially if BTC becomes more institutional and less volatile.
A “2026 powerlist” that keeps popping up across trader conversations includes:
XRP, ETH, SOL, WBT, ZEC, ADA, XMR.
If BTC holds its trend, the usual rotation tends to be:
BTC → major alts → broader altcoins.
Curious to hear different views —
what’s your top pick for 2026, and why?

As long as you have your recovery seed phrase it doesn't matter. You ADA doesn't get stored in a wallet interface.

Trying to find my ADA, it is most likely in this wallet but I don’t know which Cardano wallet/app this is… TIA

Hi… when you stake on Phantom, etc., do you give up control of your crypto? Does it need to be sent somewhere to stake or do you keep your coins and it’s only a smart contract (like ADA)? Thank you

If you think about it, just look at ETH versus ADA.
Charles Hoskinson talks nonstop about governance, “real” decentralization, academic papers, proof of stake, privacy chains… all the buzzwords you can imagine. Supposedly all about real-world use, yet the network TVL is basically nonexistent.
Vitalik, on the other hand, is like “I don’t care, I’ll fix problems as they come.” The focus is simply on building and letting real usage grow. And what sits on top of Ethereum? AAVE and Chainlink, billions of dollars in TVL and the largest blockchain oracle out there.
So honestly, who’s actually winning here?
