@JParhamJr I tagged you in the group chat from 2022 where we actually discussed this target 😅

[Eilert 🇳🇴 @Eilert]

Back in 2022, I set a bear market target for cardano:native at 0.18.
If it would ever hit this target, I would load up.

We're here now. The storm is at is thoughest, but there isn't a doubt in my mind. I'm buying cardano:native here.

Grayscale is actively increasing their exposure to $ADA, but when will the Grayscale Cardano Trust ETF (GADA) go live?

Short answer:
Before 23 October, 2026.

After the SEC approved the new generic listing standards last year, there is a streamlined process for spot ETFs:

1. Eligibility Gate: 6-month CME futures listing.
2. Filing: S-1 registration.
3. Review and launch (max. 75 days until trading starts).

$ADA CME Futures launched in February and will reach 6 months on August 9. Grayscale filed the S-1 with the original application, so the SEC have maximum of 75 days from August 9.

[Token Terminal 📊 @tokenterminal]

🆕🤝 We’re excited to announce our Data Partnership with @Cardano!

Cardano is among the most researched blockchain networks, with 190+ peer-reviewed papers and a live L1 securing a growing onchain economy.

The roadmap includes Leios, post-quantum cryptography, and fast finality.

Full onchain data is now live on Token Terminal. 🧵👇

@mert Just bridge your USDC to USDCx on Cardano and they can't touch it.

[Cardano Foundation @Cardano_CF]

The Cardano Foundation is heading to Rotkreuz tomorrow as a sponsor of the Crypto Valley Conference 2026, hosted by @thecryptovalley Association. 🇨🇭

Three sessions to note across the day. 🧵

I commented on your post about funding the first Cardano Summit proposal. I actually said "It is not the right decision".

Even if I still believe that, I do apologize for my wording. I should rather have asked what your thoughts about abandoning the sustainability path or similar that actually created a constructive dialogue.

Governance is new to everyone, also delegators and direct voters. We all want what is best for Cardano, but sometimes emotions take the wheel for a moment.

I do appreciate you, Jason 🙏

[Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles]

After reflecting deeply on this governance process, a few things are clearer to me than ever.
Cardano is alive. The community is engaged. And that matters more than any single vote.

But this process has shown me something important: Cardano's governance is real. You are not passive holders. You are owners. That is exactly what we built this for.

It has also reminded me that when Cardano has needed it most, the Pentad delivered. IOG, EMURGO, the Cardano Foundation, Midnight Foundation, and Intersect have proven they can coordinate and bring critical integrations to life when the ecosystem needed it. That coordination layer matters now more than ever.

So let me show up the way I should.

I will be in Singapore for the Cardano Summit and I will be on stage. I am also personally committing to partially top up our Token2049 sponsorship to Title level. Being on that main stage is where Cardano and Midnight need to be heard.

To the Pentad, I am inviting all of you to sit down and have a real conversation about the future of governance and how we formalise this coordination going forward.

I am 100% focused on Cardano and Midnight. Always have been. Let me prove it. #strongertogether

[Blockfrost @blockfrost_io]

The Blockfrost Platform 1.0.0 is live 🥳

Cardano stake pools can now run it alongside their block-producing node, serving Blockfrost API traffic and earning ADA for what they handle.

Here's what's new 👇

[Eilert 🇳🇴 @Eilert]

@DanielTetsuyama Congratulations 🎉

@totehmoon69 @Sssebi It is not public information. I'm pretty sure IO still holds $ADA, but we're still talking fractions of the genesis $ADA.

CF still holds hundreds of millions of $ADA.
I have no idea with Emurgo.

[Eilert 🇳🇴 @Eilert]

@totehmoon69 @Sssebi IO had the same costs with researchers and developers between 2018 and 2021 when the price had an extra 0.

If they didn't do anything this period, like the CF and Emurgo, there wouldn't be any chain and $ADA would have no value.

@MinswapIntern @Grayscale The clock is ticking.

[Pete | Beware of Scammers @astroboysoup]

I've put together a @midgardprotocol tracker.

It shows git commit progress against milestones based on their original proposal. It's mostly automated, pulling data in via GitHub.

Let me know if I got anything wrong.

@lilybrodi My grandfather once said: "Cardano is everywhere. You just have to open your eyes."

True story.
