Cardano (ADA) has embarked on a significant price surge amidst the current devastating state of cryptocurrencies in the market. Over the last 24 hours, Cardano has managed over a 10% price upsurge.
At the time of writing, Cardano (ADA) is trading at $1.29, with about a 12% price uptrend in the last 24 hours. Its market capitalization currently stands at $40,140,634,419, which makes the cryptocurrency the occupant of the 3rd position behind Ethereum (ETH), the arch-rival of the smart contract platform.
About a year ago, ADA was down 98% from its previous all-time high of $1.18 that was attained on 8th January 2018. With the current prices, ADA is up over 7,200% since March 13, 2020.
The current outstanding performance can simply be attributed to the growth of retail interest and the emerging developments in the Cardano ecosystem.
