Developments on Cardano
Cardano had faced a lot of criticism for not being timely with their launches. The project had made bold promises, which on many accounts, they failed to deliver.
However, of late, Cardano has been getting back on track with a host of releases on their platform. ADA now has nearly 900 projects being built on its platform.
Yesterday, the much-awaited Djed testnet went live for users to test and use. Djed has been developed by COTI, working closely with the team at ADA.
Additionally, the Cardano NFT (Non-Fungible Token) marketplace is also picking up steam. The platform now has several collections on the table, with offers on many of them.
Moreover, according to the data on IntoTheBlock, Cardano’s correlation to Bitcoin is currently at 0.96, pointing to a strong positive correlation between the two tokens. Cardano prices should be following the original cryptocurrency in this regard.
