币界网报道：Cardano's native token ADA has declined 57% from its Q4 2024 peak despite significant ecosystem growth, currently trading around $0.38. The drop comes amid broader market corrections, with Bitcoin and Ethereum also experiencing pullbacks. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson attributes ADA's underperformance to typical market cycles rather than fundamental issues, noting the network's development continues advancing. Recent ecosystem milestones include reaching 1,300 projects building on Cardano, over 9.4 million native tokens created, and 149 projects launched. The network also processed its 86 millionth transaction while maintaining strong security with zero downtime since inception. Analysts suggest ADA's price may rebound as the platform's expanding utility and upcoming upgrades like the Chang hard fork could drive renewed investor interest in 2025.
