Cardano spent much of early 2025 grinding lower inside a stubborn descending-wedge pattern, leading casual observers to tag it as a “dead money” chain while flashier networks grabbed headlines. As price finally pops out of its multi-month wedge, a growing chorus of analysts argue that today’s $0.70 ADA could be a fraction of where the token trades next cycle. Could Cardano really sprint to double-digit territory, or are bullish voices once again getting ahead of reality?
Cardano’s Stablecoin Staking and a 21 % Yield Inside One Wallet
The catalyst that has Cardano die-hards buzzing is Minataur, a soon-to-launch protocol that will allow stablecoin staking without leaving the ADA ecosystem. Mintern, a well-followed Cardano (ADA) commentator on X, frames the release as the bridge “between rock-solid DeFi yields and near-zero volatility,” positioning Cardano to attract risk-averse capital traditionally parked in centralized stablecoin farms.
Parallel to Minataur, the Begin Wallet integration has landed, letting users deposit stablecoins and tap into lending pools via Liqwid Labs without touching an exchange or third-party UI. Early screenshots show annualized yields cresting at 21 %, an eye-watering number in a market starved for safe passive income. The convenience factor, no hopping across browser tabs, no bridging tokens, solves one of DeFi’s nagging adoption hurdles and could direct a wider audience to Cardano’s dApp layer.
For long-term valuation models, sticky stablecoin TVL matters. A surge in on-chain liquidity deepens swap books and collateral markets, enhancing ADA’s utility as fee gas and collateral backing. Each dollar denominated in stablecoins that settles on Cardano, then, becomes a force multiplier for price as transaction volume and staking demand climb in lockstep.
Technical Breakout: Wedge Reversal Sets the Table
On the daily chart, veteran analyst Justin Wu confirms Cardano has broken free from a descending wedge dating back to February. The reversal comes after bulls vigorously protected the $0.51 support band, an area Wu calls “mission-critical” for trend health. ADA now trades near $0.7044, plotting a textbook path toward the wedge’s measured-move target around $0.90.
Momentum isn’t just visible in price candles. Across the staking layer, 99.5 % of the 4.657 billion delegated ADA voted in recent governance via DReps signal that user engagement remains vibrant, not lethargic, as critics claim. The uptick dovetails with Input Output Global CTO Romain Pellerin’s observation of record participation, reinforcing the narrative that Cardano’s community infrastructure exerts gravitational pull for new builders.
Chartist Javon Marks throws additional fuel on the fire, calling for another wedge breakout akin to 2023’s 300 % advance. If the fractal repeats, near-term targets stretch toward the psychological $1.00 barrier and then to the previous cycle high just above $3.00, stepping-stones that feed bigger “$10 ADA” projections making the rounds on crypto Twitter.
Cycle Math: Is $10 ADA Really Feasible?
Skeptics are quick to highlight that a $10 Cardano implies an $350-plus billion market cap, roughly half of Bitcoin’s current valuation. Yet historical context eases the shock: ADA rose more than 75× between the 2020 COVID bottom and its September 2021 peak. A similar multiple applied to today’s $0.72 spot price tallies just north of $54, well beyond the $10 marker bulls tout.
Still, macro backdrops differ. Liquidity conditions and regulatory scrutiny have tightened, forcing analysts like Dan Gambardello to temper exuberance even as he proclaims Cardano is “back at the bull-market door.” Gambardello’s road map envisions ADA reclaiming $3 late this year, tagging $5–$7 in the first half of 2026, and only then stretching for $10 if DeFi TVL and enterprise adoption explode in concert.
A bullish thesis always carries caveats. Should global risk sentiment sour or Bitcoin sputter, the $0.51 base re-emerges as make-or-break support. A weekly close beneath that line risks flushing ADA toward the December lows near $0.40, nullifying wedge targets. Likewise, delays in Minataur deployment or lower-than-advertised yields could sap DeFi momentum, curtailing the fundamental case for appreciation.
