Cardano ADA steadies after upgrade and 9‑year uptime

Entities: Cardano Foundation · Charles Hoskinson · ARK Invest · Cardano · Toto Finance

Overview

The Van Rossem hard fork on 18 July 2026 upgraded Cardano to protocol version 11, the first full upgrade ratified through on‑chain governance (77.63 % of delegated representatives and 52.7 % of stake‑pool operators voted in favour). The fork introduced new cryptographic primitives, lowered Plutus execution fees and added scalability features, and it launched without downtime.

Large‑holder concentration remains high; whale wallets are reported to control up to 5.69 billion ADA, echoing earlier data that large wallets hold over 25 billion ADA. ADA’s price has lingered in a narrow $0.16‑$0.18 band. After trading at $0.1694 on 24 July, the token held a support range of $0.167‑$0.170 with a neutral RSI of 50.73. By 26 July it was quoted around $0.1646‑$0.166, with key support near $0.163 and resistance at $0.20; a breakout above could target $0.23‑$0.31, while failure may push price toward $0.092. Analysts still view a close above the 50‑day EMA near $0.177 as bullish, and a dip below $0.167 as a trigger for further selling pressure.

The network approaches a nine‑year uptime milestone, having run continuously for more than eight years and ten months. Community group Cardanians stress reliability as a core strength, noting that stability bolsters confidence among developers, institutional participants and long‑term investors.

Ecosystem expansion continues with partnerships such as Clearstream’s digital ADA custody, Kraken validation pools and a Visa debit‑card slated for use in over 130 countries. The Cardano Foundation joined Toto Finance, Lava Network and Electric Blue in an Energy Tokenization Sandbox, signaling broader ambition in blockchain‑based energy‑asset tokenisation. Security incidents have affected ancillary services (a Wanchain bridge and the SecondFi wallet), but the Cardano blockchain itself remains uncompromised. Market expectations persist for a spot‑ADA ETF decision in the second half of 2026.
