As of May 30, 2025, ADA is reported at $0.71012, with a decline of 0.07% in the past 24 hours. The current price coincides with the 200-day moving average, and the short-term direction is still unclear, which can be considered a key observation.

Development Model Transformation: Agile Engineering Team

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson announced in mid-May that in 2025, they will shift from an “academic-driven” model to an “agile engineering” model to accelerate the implementation of features, with the goal of launching the Ouroboros Leios protocol in 2026. This change is expected to enhance development efficiency and increase ecosystem vitality.

TVL and ecosystem data update

• Total Locked Value (TVL): It briefly reached a high of $415M in mid-May, followed by a slight decline, currently around $400M. .
• DEX Activity: Although it has been in a long-term downward trend, trading volume has stabilized slightly recently due to the launch of new projects and liquidity incentives.

The dual recovery of TVL and activity has injected a certain level of confidence into the ADA ecosystem.

Analysts’ bullish and bearish views

• Bullish view:

- Top analysts on the X platform have proposed five major catalysts, including an overall market recovery, the maturity of the Alonzo Vasil upgrade, institutional entry, etc., predicting that ADA could reach $10.
- Some predictions suggest that if Bitcoin breaks new highs, ADA will benefit from the overflow of funds in the market, with a short-term target of $1.20.

• Bearish outlook:

- Analysts also emphasized that the overall market growth is weak, and if mainstream cryptocurrencies struggle to break resistance, ADA may face fluctuations in the $0.55~0.60 range.

Investors need to listen to both sides to gain clarity and examine the future from the perspective of long and short bets.

Key Points for Investors

1. Ecological upgrade progress: Focus on the milestones of the agile team, such as the testing status of Ouroboros Leios.
2. On-chain data: Pay attention to the daily active addresses, DEX trading volume, and the synchronized changes in TVL.
3. Market sentiment: When macro positive factors (such as Federal Reserve policies, institutional entry) appear, ADA may experience a phase rebound.
4. Risk management: Set reasonable stop-loss limits to avoid being severely impacted by short-term fluctuations.
