Cardano staking pool operator (SPO) Sssebi (@Av_Sebastian) has ignited a 
debate by asserting that Cardano’s ADA could reach double-digit territory this 
year. In a thread that began, “These are the ingredients for $10 $ADA in 
2025,” he listed five developments he believes will transform the eighth- 
largest cryptocurrency from a $0.70 token into a $10 asset. Each of those 
“ingredients” is now taking shape—and each comes with its own uncertainties. 
#1 Cardano Becomes Bitcoin’s DeFi Layer At the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las 
Vegas, Input Output (IO) stunned attendees by moving a live Bitcoin Ordinal 
across a new BitVM-based bridge to Cardano. IO called the demonstration “a 
preview of what is to come,” adding that the “Cardinal” protocol aims for full 
integration so BTC holders can lend, borrow and stake inside Cardano’s 
extended-UTxO environment. By transplanting Bitcoin liquidity onto a 
programmable ledger without wrapped custodial tokens, Cardano positions itself 
as a settlement layer for so-called BTCFi applications—an addressable market 
that today tops $1 trillion in dormant value. Related Reading: Cardano: Elliot 
Wave Predicts 50% Crash For ADA Price, Is It Time To Get Out #2 The Midnight 
“Glacier Drop” Airdrop Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson told Consensus 2025 
in Toronto that Midnight, his privacy-focused sidechain, will airdrop both 
NIGHT governance tokens and DUST privacy tokens to “approximately 37 million 
wallets across eight major blockchains”—with “zero allocation to venture 
capitalists.” “Every Consensus there’s a new token saying, ‘my thing is 
better,’” he said. “We’re going to give this away and let users decide.” The 
sheer scale dwarfs recent airdrops and could seed tens of millions of new ADA- 
capable addresses once Midnight’s cross-chain fee model pushes traffic back to 
the base chain. #3 A US Listed Cardano Spot ETF In February NYSE Arca filed to 
convert the Grayscale Cardano Trust into a spot ETF. The Securities and 
Exchange Commission acknowledged the application on 24 February, starting a 
240-day clock that now runs to 22 October 2025. The agency’s first-phase 
deadline of 29 May was pushed to 15 July, following the pattern that preceded 
January’s Bitcoin ETF approvals. Grayscale has argued that ADA’s on-chain 
transparency and staking mechanics make it “substantially resistant to 
manipulation,” echoing the language that ultimately persuaded regulators on 
Bitcoin. An approval would give traditional investors a regulated conduit to 
stake-enabled yield—something no US crypto ETF yet offers. Related Reading: 
Cardano Whale Activity Spikes – 80 Million ADA Added In 48 Hours #4 ADA In The 
US Strategic Reserve President Donald Trump’s March executive order created a 
Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a US Digital Asset Stockpile to hold crypto 
seized in federal cases. A subsequent Truth Social post surprised markets by 
naming “XRP, Solana and Cardano” for inclusion alongside Bitcoin and Ether; 
ADA jumped more than 70% intraday. Though the order bars fresh purchases of 
altcoins, Treasury accounting shows roughly $493 million in non-Bitcoin 
assets—ADA among them—already earmarked. Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov 
called the move “a reputational boost, signaling the US. views digital assets 
as strategic.” Inclusion in a sovereign reserve legitimises ADA for 
conservative allocators and could ease the path for futures and options 
listings. #5 The Ouroboros Leios Upgrade Hoskinson labels Leios “the capstone 
of the entire Ouroboros agenda … the fastest cryptocurrency on the planet.” In 
a May 1 livestream he said simulations show “tens of thousands of transactions 
per second” without sacrificing decentralization. The upgrade introduces 
parallel input, ranking and endorsement blocks, allowing throughput to be 
dialed up as adoption demands. If main-net integration lands in H2 2025, Leios 
would coincide with Midnight’s launch and the ETF review window—an alignment 
bulls see as catalytic. ADA trades near $0.70 today, implying a market 
capitalization of roughly $25 billion. A jump to $10 would push valuation 
toward $350 billion, rivaling Ethereum’s 2024 peak. Featured image created
