Prominent cryptocurrency analyst Dan Gambardello has recently made a bold prediction, anticipating a remarkable surge in the price of the smart contract platform Cardano ($ADA) as it enters the next bull market. Gambardello cites the rapid growth of Cardano’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem as the driving force behind this anticipated explosion.

著名加密货币分析师 Dan Gambardello 最近做出了大胆预测，预计智能合约平台 Cardano（$ADA）进入下一轮牛市时价格将大幅飙升。 Gambardello 指出，卡尔达诺去中心化金融（DeFi）生态系统的快速增长是这一预期爆炸背后的驱动力。

Sharing his insights with his substantial following of over 240,000 on the microblogging platform X, Gambardello compared Cardano to Ethereum ($ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. He noted that before Ethereum’s market cap skyrocketed to over $100 billion during the previous bull market, its DeFi ecosystem had around $400 million in total value locked. In contrast, Cardano currently boasts nearly $180 million in total value locked, signaling its potential for explosive growth in the upcoming bull run. As of the time of writing, Cardano’s market capitalization stands at approximately $10.9 billion.

Gambardello 在微博平台 X 上与超过 24 万粉丝分享了他的见解，将卡尔达诺与市值第二大加密货币以太坊 ($ETH) 进行了比较。他指出，在上一次牛市期间以太坊市值飙升至超过 1000 亿美元之前，其 DeFi 生态系统已锁定了约 4 亿美元的总价值。相比之下，卡尔达诺目前拥有近 1.8 亿美元的锁定总价值，这表明其在即将到来的牛市中具有爆炸性增长的潜力。截至撰写本文时，卡尔达诺的市值约为 109 亿美元。

Despite recent fluctuations that caused Cardano to lose its position as the seventh-largest cryptocurrency to Dogecoin ($DOGE), its DeFi sector continues to expand. A prominent Cardano influencer, known as ADA Whale, pointed out that the network now hosts over 20 decentralized applications, with more in development. This substantial progress has not yet been fully reflected in the project’s valuation, hinting at the untapped potential.

尽管最近的波动导致卡尔达诺失去了第七大加密货币的地位，让给了狗狗币（$DOGE），但其 DeFi 领域仍在继续扩张。卡尔达诺的一位著名影响者 ADA Whale 指出，该网络现在托管着 20 多个去中心化应用程序，还有更多应用程序正在开发中。这一实质性进展尚未完全反映在该项目的估值中，暗示着尚未开发的潜力。

It is worth noting that Cardano faced scrutiny earlier this year when it was mentioned as security in lawsuits filed by the US SEC against major cryptocurrency exchanges Binance and Coinbase, leading to a few delistings. However, despite these challenges, Cardano received praise in CCData’s ESG Benchmark report, which evaluates cryptocurrencies based on their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores.

值得注意的是，今年早些时候，卡尔达诺面临审查，当时美国证券交易委员会在针对主要加密货币交易所币安和 Coinbase 提起的诉讼中提到卡尔达诺作为证券，导致一些交易所下架。然而，尽管面临这些挑战，卡尔达诺在 CCData 的 ESG 基准报告中获得了好评，该报告根据加密货币的环境、社会和治理 (ESG) 分数来评估加密货币。

The report highlighted that ESG mandates are gaining traction among institutional investors, with global ESG-related assets under management projected to reach $33.9 trillion by 2026. Ethereum received the highest AA grade in the ESG Benchmark, followed by Solana, Cardano, Binance Coin ($BNB), Aptos ($APT), Polkadot ($DOT), $DAI, $XRP, and Tezos’ $XTZ, all achieving an A rating.

该报告强调，ESG 指令正在受到机构投资者的关注，预计到 2026 年，全球 ESG 相关资产管理规模将达到 33.9 万亿美元。以太坊在 ESG 基准中获得最高 AA 级，其次是 Solana、Cardano、Binance Coin（$ BNB)、Aptos ($APT)、Polkadot ($DOT)、$DAI、$XRP 和 Tezos 的 $XTZ，均获得 A 评级。

As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, Cardano’s growth in the DeFi space and its recognition in ESG evaluations reinforce its potential to gain prominence in the market. With increasing interest from both retail and institutional investors, the path ahead seems promising for Cardano as it seeks to leverage its expanding ecosystem to soar to new heights in the next bull market.

随着加密货币格局的不断发展，Cardano 在 DeFi 领域的增长及其在 ESG 评估中的认可增强了其在市场上占据主导地位的潜力。随着散户和机构投资者的兴趣日益浓厚，卡尔达诺的未来之路似乎充满希望，因为它寻求利用其不断扩大的生态系统在下一个牛市中飙升至新的高度。
