A look behind Cardano: where is the cryptocurrency headed?
The current situation on the crypto market causes an investor to doubt. Bitcoin, Ethereum and Co. showed a bad picture in the last months and are currently still in a bear market. However, forecasts show improvements and possible bullish movements are coming. One of these coins, which should show opportunities in the future, is the ADA Coin (Cardano). This is one of the promising blockchain platforms that also stands out from other cryptocurrencies due to its scientific approach and sustainable vision. We will explain the function of Cardano in more detail and show the potential of the coin.
What’s Cardano?
Cardano is a blockchain platform and cryptocurrency that aims to provide a secure and scalable infrastructure for the development of decentralized applications (dApps) and the execution of smart contracts. It was created by Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK), a blockchain research and development company led by Charles Hoskinson. He was also one of the co-founders of Ethereum.
Cardano differentiates itself through its scientific approach to development, focusing on peer-reviewed research and formal verification to ensure the security and reliability of the platform. It is built on a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm called Ouroboros, which aims to be energy-efficient and scalable.

The platform consists of two layers: the Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL) and the Cardano Computation Layer (CCL). The CSL is responsible for handling the ADA cryptocurrency transactions, while the CCL is where smart contracts are executed. This separation of layers allows for increased flexibility and the potential for future upgrades without disrupting the core functionality of the blockchain.
Cardano also emphasizes interoperability, aiming to create connections between various blockchains and legacy systems. It plans to enable the transfer of assets and data across different networks, fostering collaboration and increasing the overall utility of blockchain technology.
The native cryptocurrency of the Cardano platform is called ADA, which can be used for transactions, staking, and participating in the platform’s governance through voting on proposals. ADA has gained significant attention in the cryptocurrency market and has a substantial market capitalization.
Overall, Cardano aims to provide a secure and sustainable platform for building decentralized applications, leveraging scientific research and innovative technologies to deliver a robust blockchain ecosystem.
What’s the prognosis?
Cardano’s is influenced by general market conditions, particularly trends in the crypto market. Important here for investors: Crypto is highly speculative! Therefore, it is difficult to predict the future. However, there are still opportunities through technical analysis (e.g. swing trading, fundamental analysis, Elliot wave theory). Also important here are expert opinions and forecasts that can provide insight into ADA’s possible future.
If we look at Cardano’s past, we know that the last all-time high was in September 2021 (over $3). This was possibly because of the Alonzo upgrade, which enabled the introduction of smart contracts. This was a big success for the platform as it allows developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) on Cardano. This potentially attracts more users and developers. However, many new partnerships and integrations were completed. This can help increase adoption of Cardano and ultimately increase its value.
Before we come to the positive forecasts, we still want to mention negative ones of some experts: If the bear market continues, a crash to $0.017 can be expected by 2025. That would be a horror scenario with a loss of over 95 percent. On the other hand, there are also more positive predictions about Cardano. Namely, there are expectations that an increase to about 10 US dollars would be possible by 2025. That would be significantly more than 10 times. This forecast would be based on the fact that the NFT hype as well as the potential in the gaming sector provides for an upswing.
Even we know that Cardano performed strongly in bullish situations and was able to increase its value much more than other cryptocurrencies. This should give a lot of optimism for a coin that also offers many technological advantages.
