Cardano ($ADA) has turned into the biggest gainer since U.S. President Donald Trump talked about a Crypto Reserve that includes XRP, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH). That announcement lit a fire under ADA, with its price pumping over 70% in a day and finally pushing past $1 after sitting below it for months.
Trump’s Crypto Reserve Fuels Market Surge
It was Sunday, March 2, 2025, when Trump laid out his idea for a U.S. Crypto Reserve. He started with XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), then added Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) to the list later. People saw it as a big nod from the top, and it sent the whole crypto market into overdrive.
Cardano stole the show. Its price went from $0.6468 to $1.06 in 24 hours, that’s over 60% up. An hour after Trump’s tweet hit, ADA was already up 50%, outpacing all the other coins he named.
The total crypto market cap climbed to $3.04 trillion, a 6.79% jump in one day. Cardano’s trading volume went wild, up 1,578% in 24 hours to $9.76 billion, showing how much attention it’s getting from investors.
What’s keeping this price pump going is that long-term holders (LTHs) aren’t cashing out. Instead of dumping their ADA when it spiked, they’re holding tight, which makes it look like this might not just be a quick flash but something that could stick around.
What’s Next for Cardano?
Cardano’s the biggest gainer right now, and everyone’s wondering if it’ll keep climbing. If investors stay on board and big institutions start piling in, this price pump might turn into a real long-term climb for ADA.
For the moment, the Cardano crowd is pumped up. Trump’s backing has shoved ADA past $1, and it’s looking like a serious contender in the fast-moving world of digital assets.
