FORTUNE NAMES CARDANO A TOP CRYPTO PROJECT😱😱😱
Cardano $ADA has been recognized by @FortuneMagazine as one of 30 projects pushing the digital asset ecosystem forward.
Cardano was featured in the "Blockchains & Protocols" category, earning recognition from the publisher behind the iconic Fortune 500 list.
Dropping by to let everyone know that I spoke with @phillip_pon and we are working out a plan to create a discord for a great migration of the Cardano community from X. We can have happy, positive, well-moderated channels and leave behind the drama, lies, endless rage, and embittered people for a place where real conversations and real progress can be made.
I will continue broadcasting live streams to X as I have a million followers here, but will only take AMA questions from the new Cardano and current Midnight discords. I've seen some commentary that broadcasting means I'm back on X. For those people, I can't solve stupid.
Enjoy your scandals of the week and FUD. Real work is done elsewhere. Looking forward to Cardano ascending to better days, governance, and culture.
Thanks @IOHK_Charles. We both agree there is a place for X but we also agree that moving to Discord where we can have proper discourse about the future of Cardano is the way forward. Cardano is and always will be a welcoming place but the community deserves our focus to be on building the future and not engaging on the relentless and endless re-litigation of passed decisions or actions that have little to no bearing on the forward direction.
I’ve also spoken with @F_Gregaard who also welcomes this change of venue as we all believe it will result in a more coherent, transparent and aligned vision for Cardano.
We look forward to seeing you there. More details to come. 🙂
ADA at four-year lows. TapTools gone. JPG Store gone. The Summit cancelled by our own governance vote.
But here's what every "Cardano is dead" post leaves out:
The conference died because holders voted it down. Show me another chain where the community can defund its own leadership's plans. That "crisis" is proof the decentralization is real.
Meanwhile: native USDC is live. Pyth and LayerZero are live. CME futures are live, with the spot ETF window opening in August. Leios is being driven toward a mainnet-ready release by late 2026.
Cardano is going to surprise everyone this year!
We firmly believe that cardano:native is one of the most undervalued projects in the entire space and our support for this amazing ecosystem is unwavering.
We are seeing massive signs of dormant wallets awakening. There are huge spikes in the age consumed metric which means that older coins are finally starting to move in a big way. Historically this kind of movement from long term holders is a very strong signal for a major trend reversal.
The market might be distracted right now but the fundamentals are incredibly bullish. We are so proud to stand with this community and secure the network!
Cardano will win!
Huge win for Cardano & Algorand!!
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has launched a Blockchain Advisory Group.
Cardano & Algorand are officially members, giving both ecosystems a seat at the table as blockchain adoption is explored at a global scale!!
Cardano projects, presenting real solutions at the German Parliament. 🇩🇪
We were at the @Bundestag yesterday alongside @Padierfind, who presented @MasumiNetwork's AI agent marketplace, and why they chose to build on Cardano.
Strong moment for Cardano. Let's keep building.
Vor diesem Hintergrund stellen wir in unserer Studie „Wachstumsgrundlagen erneuern, Sicherheit nachhaltig stärken“ eine Reihe von Hebelreformen vor. Sie zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sie nicht nur einzelne Probleme adressieren, sondern gleichzeitig Wachstum fördern, fiskalische Spielräume erweitern und die sicherheitspolitische Handlungsfähigkeit stärken. In ihrem Zusammenspiel entfalten sie eine überproportionale Wirkung. Nur durch eine Konzentration auf solche Reformen wird es gelingen, die wirtschaftliche und politische Handlungsfähigkeit Deutschlands und Europas nachhaltig zu stärken und ihre Rolle als gestaltende Akteure in einer sich wandelnden Weltordnung zu sichern.
Cardano $ADA is set to complete the 6-month CME futures requirement for a standalone spot ETF this August.
The requirement was introduced under the SEC's updated ETF listing framework, putting $ADA one step closer to ETF eligibility.
Meanwhile, Grayscale's Cardano ETF application remains under review, with a potential decision expected around late October.
Could Cardano be next in line for a spot ETF approval?
The Unified Global Events Marketing Strategy was designed to help us bring the Cardano brand to the whole world.
Supported by Treasury funding, and in collaboration with @emurgo_io, @IntersectMBO, and @RareNetworkWeb3, we worked to bring heightened visibility not just to Cardano, but to 76 ecosystem projects.
Comprising 20 distinct events, this strategy ensured we could bring a united vision of Cardano to events in Rio, Nairobi, Singapore, Hong Kong, Miami, Paris and more.
The results are in, and we exceeded all major KPIs.
Because Cardano is stronger when we stand together.
$ADA is now included in the new @Nasdaq and @CMEGroup crypto index futures, alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other market leaders.
The Cardano ecosystem keeps maturing, and Wall Street is noticing.
Calling all Cardano dReps to check out and support the 5AM Earth collaboration! Take a look at the proposal for a holistic solution.

Let’s make this happen!
If you think paying for marketing and content creators doesn’t do anything, look at what just happened to Cardano.
You’ve just witnessed the power of social engineering and narratives led by influencers & media who completely changed the public opinion of Cardano, sending the price from 24 cents to 15 cents in just a week.
Crypto is not a competition of best tech it’s a competition of public perception.
The market has repeatedly shown that being technologically superior is not enough.
Just look at Solana. Despite outages and technical issues, it climbed to the top because it captured marketing. Ethereum is still number two despite being expensive to use.
Yet Cardano still likes to believe that investors solely buy based on tech, decentralization, and infra.
”build it and they’ll come“
- they won‘t.
The majority of people buy based on public attention (marketing) and perceived upside.
Infrastructure improvements may excite developers, but developers are not the market.
I strongly believe we’re in a good place right now to really push what we have already built, but it looks like this will be yet another year we let projects and public attention die for the sake of funding even more infrastructure that won’t change a thing for the majority of the end user.
Let’s show Charles some love 💙
With all the FUD online, it’s easy to forget why we’re here. As Charles reminds us, Cardano isn’t just another ecosystem - it’s a mission to make the world better.
Every one of us has a role to play. Show up, keep building, keep believing. Cardano, Midnight, and this community are just getting started 🚀
Yesterday the maybe most unexpected moment of my professional career so far happened.
I was invited to the German Parliament to speak at a panel about Agent-To-Agent Payments using Blockchain.
An absolutely unreal moment.
The room was packed with politician & businesses. I spoke about our work with Masumi, the work with Serviceplan, how companies are hiring & selling agents on our agent marketplace today already and why we chose to build on Cardano.
Big shout-out and thanks to Bundesblock and Member of Parliament Marvin Schulz.
