Over the years, Cardano (ADA) is the cornerstone of the cryptographic landscape, consistently dealing with the best digital assets according to market capitalization. However, despite its importance, Ada’s results meant that many investors question its long -term perspectives.

While recently he was on the first pages of newspapers in the first proposal of US President Donald Trump regarding the national cryptographic campaign, his price and activity at Onchain tell another story – one that even led some critics to marking its “zombies”.

Recent findings suggest that the Ada ecosystem, Cardano, remains behind decentralized financial adoption (DEFI). With only a fraction of the total blocked value (TVL) compared to Ethereum and Solana, Cardano tries to attract Stablecoin’s liquidity and activity.

While some say that his DEFI sector is still at an early stage, several newer blocks overtook him in terms of users’ involvement and trading volume. The question is now whether the upcoming events can reverse the trend.

With key catalysts on the horizon, such as the potential ADA Ring Fund (ETF) and its appearing role in the DEFI Bitcoin ecosystem, 2025 can be a key year for Ada. But are these changes enough to reverse the wave?
