The digital asset space is witnessing an intense competition for a place among the top 10 cryptocurrencies. Cardano (ADA), once the 10th largest coin, was recently overtaken by TRON (TRX) due to the success of TRX’s meme coin launchpad, SunPump, which sparked renewed interest among investors.
Cardano’s Battle for Top 10 Dominance
However, Cardano briefly reclaimed the 10th spot from TRON within the last 24 hours, fueled by a 5% surge in ADA’s price, pushing its market capitalization ahead of TRON. TRX had stunned the market with its recent performance, climbing to the 10th position. Although Cardano has since dropped back to 11th place, analysts remain optimistic about its potential to reclaim a top 10 position soon.

Currently, ADA’s price has risen by 4.82%, reaching $0.3686, with a market capitalization of $13.25 billion. Market observers suggest that if ADA’s price continues to increase steadily, it could soon surpass TRON, whose market cap recently dipped by 5.04% after its price fell to $0.1562. At the time of writing, TRON’s market cap stands at $13.51 billion. The market cap difference between Cardano and TRON is around $252 million, suggesting that continued gains for ADA could push it back into the top 10.
Chang Hard Fork: A Potential Game-Changer?
To outpace Dogecoin (DOGE), which holds 9th place with a 1.72% price increase and a $15.44 billion market cap, Cardano must sustain its bullish trend.

Although challenging, Cardano’s upcoming Chang hard fork could prove to be a critical factor in driving ADA’s price higher. The highly anticipated hard fork will upgrade the Cardano network with the latest version of its validator node, Node 9.1, on August 27.
This upgrade could act as a bullish catalyst, propelling ADA back into the top 10 cryptocurrencies, and potentially overtaking both TRX and DOGE.
