ADA surges nearly 20% in two days, Cardano back in the top ten by market cap, with $0.30 becoming a key threshold

ADA4.82%

February 27 News: Cardano’s native token ADA has risen nearly 20% over the past 48 hours, significantly improving its market cap ranking. According to CoinMarketCap data, ADA has re-entered the top ten; however, CoinGecko lists it as 12th due to differences in circulating supply calculations. Despite the ranking differences, signs of capital inflow are evident.

In terms of price, ADA is currently around $0.292, approaching the psychological resistance level of $0.30. The daily chart shows an RSI of about 50.9, in a neutral to slightly bullish zone, not yet in overbought territory; the AO indicator has broken above zero and turned green, indicating increasing bullish momentum. If the daily price can hold above $0.30, the next target could be around $0.34. Support levels are concentrated at $0.25, where significant buying interest was seen in early February.

On-chain data also supports this bullish outlook. Santiment data shows that over the past six months, “sharks” and “whales” have accumulated approximately 819.4 million ADA when the price dipped near $0.26. Institutionally, Grayscale Investments recently increased its Cardano holdings in its smart contract platform fund to 20.2%, making it the third-largest position.

Whether ADA can maintain its top ten market cap ranking depends on whether the $0.30 level can become a solid support and on overall market risk appetite. If trading volume increases alongside price, Cardano may continue to strengthen its position in the smart contract sector.

Institution: Circle Stock Price Plunge May Be Misinterpreted, New Stablecoin Regulations Mainly Target Distribution End

Research firm Bernstein points out that the market misinterpreted the Clarity Act draft, causing Circle's stock price to plummet. The bill restricts stablecoin yield distribution, not issuance, so the impact on Circle's business model is limited. In contrast, a certain CEX needs to restructure its revenue mechanism. In the long term, restricting passive income may benefit Circle in consolidating its market position.
