Analyst Predicts Cardano Could Reach $10 by 2026
Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Price Prediction: Analyst Cheeky Crypto forecasts that Cardano (ADA) could reach $10 by 2026, based on market dynamics and on-chain growth analysis, although this projection lacks validation from the Cardano team or major financial institutions.
- Supply Dynamics: Currently, about 60% of ADA supply (approximately 21.2 billion ADA) is staked, limiting the tradable supply, and this 'pinned supply' could drive prices higher if demand increases, which analysts believe is a crucial factor for price appreciation.
- Ecosystem Development: The successful rollout of Cardano's upcoming projects like Mithril and Hydra is seen as key to enhancing ADA's competitiveness, particularly against other layer-1 platforms such as Ethereum and Solana.
- Community Reactions: The Cardano community shows mixed sentiments regarding price predictions; while long-term holders are optimistic about staking rates and the development roadmap, critics highlight slower growth in dApps and Total Value Locked (TVL) compared to competitors.
