Cardano (ADA) Holds Near $0.16 as Price Stalls and Governance Shift Follows Wallet Exploit

Cardano price ADA $0.16 EMURGO governance exit SecondFi wallet exploit Pepeto Binance listing

Cardano (ADA) remained above the $0.16 support level, trading in a tight range between $0.15 and $0.19. Analysts note that a Bollinger Band squeeze could trigger a sharp breakout either upward toward $0.21‑$0.25 or downward toward $0.13. The broader crypto market rebounded, with Bitcoin testing $63,000 and Ethereum near $1,750, amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.

In parallel, founding entity EMURGO announced it is leaving the Pentad governance group to focus on recovering funds lost in the SecondFi wallet exploit that drained roughly 16 million ADA from 374 wallets. The organization emphasized user fund recovery over governance participation.

Separately, the meme‑coin Pepeto raised $10.4 million in a presale ahead of a planned Binance listing, with its token priced at $0.0000001882. The project highlights zero‑fee swaps, a cross‑chain bridge, and audited contracts, aiming to attract capital despite the overall market’s risk‑off sentiment.
