Summary
- Cardano’s ADA rose 10 percent in 24 hours to more than 27 cents, its highest price since May, while Bitcoin and Ether gained just 1 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively.
- ADA’s outperformance may reflect enthusiasm for Cardano’s RealFi institutional-credit product and its coming Dijkstra scalability upgrade, though the precise catalyst remains unclear.
- Bitcoin remained within its recent $84,000-to-$87,000 range as leveraged long positions held firm, while options trading was heavily tilted toward calls.
