$ADA
Cardano is the frustrating one.
The team is doing actual stuff—they laid out the Dijkstra upgrade roadmap, phase one targeting Q4 2026 for throughput, phase two in Q2 2027 for governance. T. Rowe Price added ADA to their crypto ETF.
The Cardano Foundation closed a 2.5 million ADA pilot fund. But the community is frustrated because while everything else is pumping, ADA keeps underperforming. XRP is up, Ethereum is up, Solana is up—ADA is lagging behind.
The community is asking the hard question: is retail demand for ADA weakening? I'm holding because I believe in the tech, but I'm also asking myself why we're always the last to move. The vibe is "we're building but why are we still lagging?"
