Cardano surpasses 111 million transactions
2025/07/07 22:10Cardano (CRYPTO:ADA) has officially crossed the 111 million transaction mark, reinforcing its status as one of the most resilient and scalable Layer-1 blockchains.
The milestone highlights the network’s ability to process high volumes without performance degradation, backed by an uninterrupted seven-year uptime record.
Cardano’s user engagement and ecosystem growth continue to rise, with 2,005 active projects now building on the platform.
Delegated staking wallets have also climbed 0.05%, reaching 1.33 million participants.
The network supports 138,996 Plutus smart contracts and 7,682 Aiken scripts, indicating broad adoption of its smart contract framework.
Additionally, Cardano now hosts 10.84 million native tokens under 217,415 token policies, showcasing active tokenisation use cases.
The number of Delegated Representatives (DReps) has risen to 1,377, with 976 currently active, enhancing community governance.
GitHub activity is also ramping up, with commits jumping 27%, reflecting increased developer contributions to the ecosystem.
On-chain momentum remains strong, with 276 billion ADA transactions recorded in just the past 67 days, valued at approximately $165 billion.
Over 22 billion ADA have been staked—roughly 62% of circulating supply—signalling deep investor confidence in Cardano’s long-term potential.
Meanwhile, Brave Browser’s 91 million monthly users can now access Cardano features via beta integration and the upcoming Midnight sidechain.
Community sentiment is surging, with 93.8% of CoinMarketCap users currently expressing a bullish outlook on ADA.
At present, ADA is trading at $0.57, with key resistance at $0.60 and a breakout point set at $0.67.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggests a close above $0.67 could drive ADA towards $0.83–$0.91, aligning with 0.5 and 0.382 Fibonacci retracement levels.
Market commentator Lucky Luciano is also bullish, targeting a long-term price of $1.32 if ADA recaptures its November 2023 highs.
CoinCodex’s forecast supports this view, projecting ADA to trade between $1.18 and $1.31 by December 2027.
Analysts have drawn comparisons between current market conditions and ADA’s 2020 rally, fuelling speculation of a similar breakout.
If ADA decisively breaches $0.80, it could trigger a new wave of upside movement for the token.
Meanwhile, Cardano is simplifying development with Project Acropolis, a new initiative allowing dApp creation directly within the Cardano node.
The programme aims to remove complex workarounds currently required by developers, potentially accelerating adoption and innovation
At the time of reporting, ADA price was $0.5912.

AI investment enters the "Trough of Disillusionment", the next 18 months will be a life-or-death test!
Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
