Cardano Surges: Node Upgrade Fuels Whale Activity and Ignites ETF Hopes, Pushing ADA Towards $1.50

Cardano is a fully open-source decentralized public blockchain crypto project for the Ada cryptocurrency.

 

Cardano is seeing a major surge driven by a record $71 million on-chain treasury allocation for ecosystem improvements and growing optimism surrounding a possible U.S. spot Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). The community-approved upgrade, marking a new era of decentralized governance, has instilled confidence and contributed to ADA's recent price rally. Rather than conventional retail hype, institutional investment and regulatory advancement now drive this growth, therefore pointing to a maturing market for Cardano. Having already recovered 16–26% this week to reach $0.87, ADA experts project a possible breakout to $1.50 should existing trends continue.

Following Grayscale Investments' registration of the "Grayscale Cardano Trust ETF" in Delaware, which mimics their successful approach for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the possibility of a Cardano ETF has grown. Approval probabilities have greatly improved as a result of this move; Polymarket estimates them at 85% for 2025, and Bloomberg analysts advise a 90% or greater probability before year-end. This widespread optimism, together with substantial whale accumulation, has attracted over $150 million in capital to Cardano, making it a top contender for the next altcoin-based U.S. ETF and maybe ushering in a new age of institutional investment.

 

ADAUSD prices surged more than 50% in the past 10 days. It hit a high of $1.0196 at the time of writing and is currently trading around $0.9920. The pair is holding above the short-term (34 and 55-day EMA) and long-term moving average (200-day EMA).

 

The near-term resistance is around $1.05; any indicative breach above will take the pair to $1.20/$1.32/$1.60/$2.On the lower side, immediate support is $0.80, and any violation below targets $0.58/$0.35/$0.25.
