Cardano: Here’s how ADA is doing after a bearish Q2 behind it

ambcrypto.com:

Cardano [ADA]‘s community has been waiting for the Vasil upgrade for the last few months. Well more so in the anticipation that it would help the native token, ADA, reach new heights. Has that been the case before? No, not really. But, looks like this narrative is taking a turn to a better side.

Feels like a lifetime

Cardano’s long-awaited Vasil upgrade, which aims to improve the network’s scalability and performance, has “successfully” gone through the testnet. It is expected to deploy on the mainnet in a month. Also, this development would bring different attributes to the table.

According to the CTO of dcspark, it was previously impossible to port a lot of ERC20 tokens on the network because of the missing functionality of the blockchain. But this would change with the Vasil update. Cardano would allow users to utilize and develop a new class of tokens: noncustodials, stablecoins, and stateful tokens.

Moreover, just hours after the testnet launch, Cardalonia, a metaverse on the Cardano blockchain, also announced its smooth launch, adding that the hard fork is now “inevitable.”

Needless to say, these developments in June end/July start indeed helped the network and the token to register some gains. Considering the price front, ADA witnessed a 5% surge as the token traded around the $0.45 mark. Meanwhile, the development activity on the network also showcased an unprecedented uptick. Here’s a tweet to support this scenario.
