The Cardano blockchain's native cryptocurrency, ADA, has reached a new all-time high of $1.30 per coin. With a market capitalization of $39 billion, this is enough to make it the third-largest cryptocurrency.
Cardano, a rival of the Ethereum blockchain, was launched in 2017 and is primarily backed by the Input Output Hong Kong business venture (IOHK). Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Ethereum and now CEO of IHOK, invented the blockchain.
Although Cardano has no major decentralized finance (DeFi) or other applications running on it like other Ethereum rivals such as Binance Smart Chain, ADA has been swept up in the bull market of bitcoin. According to Messari, the cryptocurrency is up 645 percent in the past 90 days.
To move into third place, the cryptocurrency exceeded the dollar-backed stablecoin tether (USDT) and Binance's BNB.
Following months of double-digit percentage gains, Bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH), the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain, have experienced a price correction. As of press time, bitcoin is down 6% on the day to $46,800, while ether is down 6% to $1,490.
