Crypto Analyst Ups Cardano (ADA) Target To $10 Amid Regulatory News

Cardano (ADA) has recently faced significant turbulence, with its price dropping sharply below the key support level of $0.40. This downward movement is largely attributed to a recent decline in Bitcoin’s value, which has heightened market anxiety and subsequently led to a broader sell-off in altcoins.

As of the latest update, ADA’s price stands at approximately $0.39. The cryptocurrency has experienced a noticeable dip of -3.38% in the past 24 hours. During this period, ADA’s trading volume reached $499.23 million, while its market capitalization was $13.91 billion, giving it market dominance of 0.59%.

Cardano (ADA) Sees Optimism with SEC Shift and Chang Fork Ahead

Cardano (ADA) has recently experienced some volatility in its price. However, underlying positive developments suggest a potential bullish phase could be on the horizon for this blockchain platform.

One of the most significant updates comes from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has decided to no longer classify Cardano as a security. This decision is part of a broader legal maneuver involving Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges.

The SEC’s unexpected move has created a ripple of optimism within the crypto community. In a recent filing, the SEC announced its intention to amend its complaint against Binance, which has led to a shift in regulatory stance regarding Cardano. The change in classification is seen as a major win for Cardano, potentially removing regulatory hurdles that could have impeded its growth.

Cardano is also gearing up for the highly anticipated Chang hard fork. This crucial upgrade aims to enhance the network’s capabilities and requires 70% of Cardano’s stake pool operators to update to the latest node version, 9.1.0. Adoption stands at just 9.3%, indicating that while the upgrade is underway, widespread implementation is still a work in progress.

In a recent update, a prominent crypto analyst known as Sssebi has revised his bullish forecast for Cardano (ADA) amidst new developments in regulatory scrutiny.

After the SEC declared Cardano a security in the Coinbase case, my conservative price prediction for this cycle was $5-7.
After today's news, it is conservative to say that we should see at least $10 for $ADA.

Firstly, Sssebi had actually estimated a conservative price target of $5-$7 for ADA in the current market cycle, which became a faith orchestrator due to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s decision to pronounce ADA as security in the Coinbase case. It cast a shadow of uncertainty over the future of the cryptocurrency and resulted in more conservative estimates being made.

However, the sentiment of the analyst has changed of late. Following the recent news that may have relieved some regulatory pressures or given a new insight into the market, Sssebi now expects ADA’s price could reach at least $10.
