Grayscale: "The Institutional Era Of Crypto Is Here. No Going Back."

Описание: Cardano $ADA 24h trade volume hits $650M, surpassing TRON for the 4th day in a row according to CoinGecko. CoinMarketCap ranks Cardano as the 5th most bullish community sentiment and 5th most bullish daily trending. Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson says "USDCx was an awesome accomplishment, alongside so many others in February. I look forward to March with much more to come." Charles says "I love Cardano and fight hard every day to advance the ecosystem. There is much unfinished work and we'll find a path to get it done together." Circle's $USDCx surpasses $14,900,000 minted on Cardano according to Cexplorer. USDCx is now $ADA's leading stablecoin according to DefiLlama. $ADA's total stablecoin market cap surpasses $47.6M, a new all-time high according to DefiLlama. Strike says "our team just completed the last big hurdle before mainnet, our internal market maker bot. Expect mainnet launch soon." Grayscale says "there's no going back" on crypto. "Public blockchains are being integrated into the global financial system—full stop. Stablecoins, tokenized assets, prediction markets; the institutional era of crypto is here." CME Group says "Cardano is a research-led Layer-1 protocol utilizing proof-of-stake, with dual-layer architecture separating settlement from smart contract computation. $ADA facilitates transaction fees and network governance through staking." CME Group says its new $ADA, $LINK, and $XLM futures "signal the continued maturation of the digital asset market. By offering regulated, cash-settled instruments for these assets, we empower clients with tools necessary for more precise risk management and exposure." CME Group says its $ADA, $LINK, and $XLM futures "cater to both institutional and individual investors, and offer high capital efficiency, requiring less upfront capital than an equivalent spot position." CME Group says its expanded crypto suite with $ADA futures "serves as the foundation for our Nasdaq CME Crypto Index futures coming March 16th, pending regulatory review," highlighting a growing range of institutional-grade financial products including ADA. Charles says "regulators really like these systems that we're proposing, because it's not the US regulator you're looking for, it's the mid-sized country regulator. They would like something where their rules can be respected." Charles says $NIGHT "returns to what Satoshi was trying to propose. We push a custodial model, where you own your data, your ID, and a blend of Web2—a super easy wallet UX. Together, it's set up to be a mainstream UX that augments crypto." Charles says "there's a lot of really cool tools that we've brought to the bear to facilitate" privacy-enhancing technology, "and that's why I'm still in the industry, because I think we can still make some progress for everyone." Charles says "it's gonna be ok. If we're gonna win, we have to take a step back and return to first principles. We have everything we need, all the people we need. People will come back to something with integrity and a vision behind it." Charles says "we have a great partner, NexiFuse, and we're already in discussions about how we bring medical records into the blockchain space. We want to create portability and economic agency with these records." Charles says "we have a lot of great integrations like LayerZero and USDCx. We have to grow DeFi: $NIGHT gives the private option, Bitcoin DeFi opens us up to the largest market in crypto, where Bitcoin can still be the root of security." Altcoin Daily says "buy ADA." Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says "it feels like sentiment has shifted on crypto." In February, he called $ADA a "real altcoin," and predicted that crypto is near "the end of a full-blown winter that began in January 2025." LOAN Protocol, the core technology behind lending for Metal X, the leading DEX on XPR Network, features its $ADA market with 6.9% APY on deposits. Charles says Midnight will undergo "code decentralization, governance decentralization, and consensus decentralization." Charles says Midnight is "the fastest launch we've ever done." Charles says "the speed, quality, and quantity of work that's happening in real-time is truly astounding. I'm very happy with the progress." Charles says "we absolutely did not forget about Africa. I've given out millions of loans. I think RealFi will be the largest contributor in TVL to Cardano. Billions of dollars will come as a result of RealFi." Charles says "we're getting ready for Pentad v2, to create an index of Cardano apps that meet certain criteria, use that capital to upgrade their dApps, get Tier-1 listings, Bitcoin DeFi, use all integrations, and modernize their apps." Charles says "Leios adds the potential for more kinds of block producers. Long-term, you'll have a situation with layers of operators. This is a future version of Cardano post-Linear Leios." Charles says "we have a great relationship with Solana. They're very dedicated and have good leaders."
