Why does ADA stand out?
The recent surge in ADA price and key metrics can be attributed to Cardano’s ecosystem expansion plans. Chief among them is the recent establishment of an interim Constitutional Committee, as announced by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson in a Youtube video.
With the creation of the new committee, ADA holders now have a say in the governance of Cardano, according to previous reports by Guru-Investing This announcement has sparked enthusiasm in the Cardano community, which has fueled the increase in the price of ADA.
Furthermore, Cardano has recently gained traction among institutional investors, which may be contributing to the rise in trading volumes. Furthermore, the Cardano ecosystem has recently boosted its connectivity through an integration with the inter-blockchain communication protocol. This integration makes it easier for developers to build applications based on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), thereby increasing the reach of the ecosystem.
