Ripple Confirms XRP Is Already Cleared in US — Clarity Act Could Unlock the Next Surge

Cardano (ADA) is now facing renewed scrutiny following a challenging year 
marked by significant price losses and a slowdown in ecosystem momentum. Over 
recent weeks, a combination of technical signals, governance decisions, and 
regulatory speculation has brought ADA back into focus. Related Reading:

While optimism has returned to parts of the market, the network now faces a 
critical test: whether short-term recovery can translate into sustained 
progress across price, adoption, and infrastructure. ADA&#8217;s price trends

on Tradingview Cardano’s (ADA) Technical Signals Suggest Improving Momentum 
Cardano’s price action has shown signs of stabilization following a decline of 
more than 60% in 2025. Currently, ADA formed its first golden cross of 2026, 
with short-term moving averages crossing above longer-term averages on both 
hourly and two-hour charts. ADA has also printed its first positive weekly 
candle in over two months, reflecting improving sentiment. At the time of 
writing, the token is trading around the $0.41–$0.416 range, supported by 
higher futures open interest and daily trading volume near recent highs. 
However, price remains capped by resistance near $0.401, a level that aligns 
with the 50-day moving average and has rejected multiple breakout attempts 
since late 2024. A sustained move above this zone is widely seen as necessary 
for further upside toward higher historical ranges. Governance Funding and 
Ecosystem Priorities Beyond charts, Cardano has taken steps to address 
ecosystem development through governance. A proposal authorizing the 
withdrawal of 70 million ADA for critical integrations has been ratified by 
the network’s governing bodies. The funding is intended to support 
infrastructure additions such as stablecoin integrations and oracle services, 
including work related to USDC, USDT, and Pyth. In parallel, the Cardano 
Foundation has allocated additional resources to boost stablecoin liquidity, a 
key requirement for competitive DeFi activity. Founder Charles Hoskinson has 
emphasized that future success will be measured less by short-term price 
movement and more by growth in metrics such as active users, total value 
locked, and real-world usage. The upcoming Ouroboros Leios upgrade and the 
planned expansion of the Midnight, a privacy-focused sidechain, are central to 
this strategy. ETF Expectations and the 2026 Outlook Another factor shaping 
expectations is the prospect of a spot Cardano ETF in the United States. While 
no application has been approved as of December 2025, products such as the 
Grayscale Cardano ADA Trust remain under SEC review, with decisions now 
expected in early 2026. Previous approvals of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs 
have raised expectations, though analysts note that ADA faces additional 
scrutiny tied to classification debates. Related Reading: XRP Rally Reopens 
The $8–$12 Zone Debate, Says Will Taylor Taken together, Cardano enters 2026 
at a pivotal moment. Technical indicators suggest a recovery, governance 
actions aim to strengthen the ecosystem, and regulatory developments could 
impact institutional access. Whether these elements align into a durable new 
phase will depend on execution in the months ahead. Cover image from ChatGPT,
