Cardano’s ADA token has surged in the past week, even as the likes of Bitcoin and Ether traded sideways, amid some promising developments on its blockchain.
ADA has risen 30% in the past seven days, according to pricing from CoinGecko, while Bitcoin, Ether, Solana and XRP have advanced less than 5%. That comes as data from Messari show Cardano’s 24-hour transaction volume at $5.31 billion, compared with Ethereum’s $5.59 billion. But Cardano’s gas fees -- payments made by users to compensate for the computing energy required to process transactions -- were around $75,400 compared with the latter’s $44 million over that period.
