ADAUSD
Cardano / United States dollar
crypto Composite

After sending a couple trouble tickets, they appear to have fixed this issue. I guess it was a temporary bug. I swap some crypto for ADA sometimes, so this will come in handy.

I hold 5 ADA for memories lmao

The narrative has silently shifted, and it’s actually a better setup for institutional adoption.
It’s no longer about ADA replacing currencies - it’s about moving the entire financial system (fiat, stocks, and goods) onto these rails without the Average Joe ever knowing Cardano or Midnight exist.
• Tokenization of Everything: Fiat currencies (like USD/EUR), stocks, and real-world assets move onto these rails for instant, global settlement. You KYC only once at the gateway (bank or regulated broker), and then you are on the rails. 
• Programmable Governance: Banks and governments can define their own custom smart contracts to automate compliance and risk management. This allows them to stay interoperable while following local laws. 
• Invisible UX: With Babel Fees, users pay in whatever assets they already hold. The ADA/NIGHT "gas" is handled automatically in the background, which rewards network operators and stakers for keeping the system decentralized and secure.
• The "Banking 2.0" Choice: Banks aren't being replaced; they are becoming service providers. You get a choice: use a bank for managed custody and insurance (so you have a "Forgot Password" button), or hold the keys yourself for absolute freedom. Banks then act as lenders and providers of complex investment instruments.
• Regulated Privacy (Midnight): This is the missing link. Governments can verify tax compliance and identify the source of funds via ZK-proofs without the general public - or competitors - ever seeing your private history or balance.
You could ask: why would banks or people move to it?
For banks, it’s about survival and efficiency. Moving from 40-year-old siloed databases (like SWIFT) to a shared global ledger eliminates billions in reconciliation costs and settlement delays.
For the average person, it’s about better services. They’ll switch because their bank will suddenly offer instant 24/7 global transfers, lower fees, and better interest rates—simply because the bank’s own "back-office" costs just dropped by 90%.
If this succeeds, we won't "use crypto"—we'll just be using a more efficient global economy that runs on a standardized, secure engine.

Es la nueva #ADA del 2026

I bought ADA and LINK on the same day two cycles ago. I made the huge mistake of selling LINK at $3 but I held the ADA an entire cycle. Hard for you to believe for some reason lmao

Cardano (ADA) Episode 800: The Good Fight | Cardano Rumor Rundown #800 - Army of Spies

Ah, yes...Cultdano folks are definitely known for being grounded and were never **absolutely convinced** that ADA would flip ETH by 2024.

Hi James, thanks for your reply and passing this along. More so I liked the simplicity of the previous interface. The text is too small now, in my opinion. I think it becomes more difficult for older users to navigate. Especially with smaller text it can potentially be difficult for the elderly and those that may have disabilities. I don't know if there's any type of requirement for apps to be ADA compliant, but I would guess that the previous version would have a better chance at meeting ADA compliance. Thanks again.

Best ADA wallet for 2026?

Coinbase just added a new feature for ADA (Cardano) holders! Join Gianna as she discusses the benefits.

That took real effort.
But the real value in your post? It spotlights crucial ADA content. The ecosystem offers massive opportunities to seize and enjoy; we're just not fully aware of everything built there yet.

I bought cardo way back in the first alt cycle around $0.08 and sold it for $2.11 or something during the second bull run. That sale, and the purchase of Solana at $20 the same cycle and its subsequent sale this cycle around $200 is what paid off my and my wife's first house. We have been extremely extremely lucky with timing the market.
I still make fun of ADA cultists. It's never going to go back up and they just cannot admit it.

DOT and ADA was even worse

I appreciate Charles trying to rally the troops, but this rings a little hollow right now. Charles, I'm sure you don't even read these, but allow me to vent, if only to the Cardano Subreddit group in the hopes that someone can assuage my fears. It sounds a little unhinged to state that we are growing and making progress in all these fields, meanwhile NOBODY outside of the crypto bubble is talking about crypto or blockchain. I work in IT in Manufacturing and maybe 5 years ago we'd have consultants talking to us about doing a blockchain POC or some theoretical use cases for blockchain in an industrial context but today absolutely nobody talks about it. The world outside the crypto bubble has moved on and what's going to make them come back? I just don't see it. The user experience of cryptocurrencies is fucking dreadful. So much worse than the tradFi rails that we've got, so why would any consumer switch to it? The lofty ideals of freedom and ethics and fixing a broken system just ain't gonna cut it for the average joe. Can I take my salary in ADA? Nope. Can I pay my mortgage in ADA? nope. Even if I could, should I? Is it smart to do that? It's supposed to increase in value versus the dollar so it would be fucking stupid to pay for my flat white or mortgage or spotify subscription with ADA. So where's the use case for a normal guy like me? And you can call me stupid, laugh at me for not getting it, but I've spent a substantial amount of time trying to understand WHY cryptocurrencies should matter and in the process I've been a champion of ADA for the last seven years, trying to get my friends and family interested in the cause and if I can't see the point, I guarantee that none of them will either. In fact, they don't. They might have invested 200 dollars on Binance to ADA or Doge in the last market cycle but none of them actually USED cryptocurrencies beyond a fanciful speculation. None of them stayed to change the world. The gave it a whirl and saw it for what it is, and left. And I keep asking myself, why am I still here?
