Cardano (ADA), the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has recently experienced a remarkable recovery, surging 82% from its February 3 low of $0.6249 to $1.13 on March 3, before settling at $0.96 at press time. This rebound comes after President Donald Trump directed the Presidential Working Group to move forward on a Crypto Strategic Reserve that includes XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano. The announcement has injected fresh optimism, sparking a significant rally across the digital asset market.

With optimism growing around ADA’s long-term potential, market trends and ChatGPT-4o, an AI model developed by OpenAI, were analyzed to assess Cardano’s growth trajectory by the end of 2025. One of the primary drivers behind ADA’s recent surge is President Trump’s executive order to establish a Strategic Crypto Reserve, which initially included XRP, Solana, and Cardano, and later expanded to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). If successfully implemented, ADA’s inclusion in the state-backed crypto framework could significantly accelerate its adoption and capital inflows, drawing increased interest from both retail and institutional investors.

On-chain activity has also surged, further strengthening ADA’s bullish momentum. Total Value Locked (TVL) soared 42% in just 24 hours, reaching $466.36 million on March 3. Meanwhile, unique active wallets (UAWs) jumped 191.39% to 3,920, while total transactions spiked 265.98% to 17,870. This sharp increase is interpreted as a sign of rising adoption, driven by new users entering the network and existing participants ramping up activity.

The SEC’s acknowledgment of Grayscale’s Cardano ETF filing, with a decision expected by August 2025, could be a major catalyst for institutional adoption, potentially unlocking larger capital inflows into ADA. Looking ahead, Cardano’s 2025 roadmap is seen as a critical factor in shaping its long-term outlook. Key upgrades include Bitcoin DeFi integration, the implementation of Leios for scaling, and expanded cross-chain compatibility through Chainlink (LINK) and stablecoins. These developments could significantly enhance network adoption and usability,
