After the first drop of 95%, $ADA then surged 175x.
He was born in 2014. His creator is Charles Hoskinson, one of Ethereum’s earliest founders. After the roadmap dispute, he left and started his own company. His rules run counter to everyone else’s: write papers first, go through peer review, and only then write code.
The name comes from the 16th-century mathematician Gerolamo Cardano, and the code is written in Haskell. The Ouroboros consensus algorithm is the first PoS with mathematical security proofs, and in 2017 it was accepted to the top cryptography conference Crypto.
In September 2015, it launched a crowdfunding campaign. It sold through January 2017, with an average price of $0.0024. It raised $62.24 million, and 95% of the buyers were from Japan. The slogan read, “An investment you can hold for retirement.” The Western market was not open.
It went live in October 2017. It opened at $0.024. In January 2018, it spiked to $1.20, with a market cap close to $32 billion. That same year, the monthly line peak was $0.3885 in May, then it crashed to $0.01765 in March 2020, -95.5%, taking 22 months.
The second time was slower and harsher: $3.101 in September 2021 was its all-time high. By June 2026, it was $0.1382—again -95.5%, nearly five years of decline. Today it’s $0.2529, still 91.8% below the peak.
On March 13, 2020, it fell to $0.019252. That day, 1000 U bought 519,000 coins. Today those are worth 13,136 U. Back in 2015 at $0.0024, with 1000 U you got 416,000 coins; today that’s worth 105,000 U.
In April 2018, when Binance opened trading for $ADA , the lowest in the first month was $0.23983. Buying 4169 coins with 1000 U—after eight years and five months, they were only worth 1054 U. Today’s price isn’t expensive; it’s back to where it was eight years ago.
His current net worth is $9.498 billion, ranking 18th, with another 16.6% of the coins still not released. Contract open interest increased 6.55% over the past 24 hours, and whales hold a long position share of 63.99%. The daily chart is above MA20 (0.2164). The 1h RSI14 is 66.33. Resistance overhead is 0.2544, support below is 0.2406. For the short term, it leans bullish on the side above 0.2406; this move ends once it breaks below 0.2406.
This is the early stage of a bull market—everywhere is gold. Holding long-term, you can enter at the current price for a small position in $ADA . Buy the more it drops—small drops, small buys.
