The crypto market took a tumble recently, with Bitcoin ETFs experiencing significant outflows and the total market cap shedding over 4%. This downturn also saw long traders face hefty liquidations, fueling the bearish sentiment, analyst Altcoin Buzz, a popular crypto analyst, questioned if altcoins were in for another beating, but surprisingly offered a bullish outlook for one: Cardano (ADA).
While initially skeptical, Altcoin Buzz highlighted recent updates from Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, as a reason for optimism. Hoskinson announced the upcoming Chang Fork, a major upgrade ushering in Cardano’s Voltaire era of decentralized governance. This news comes after ADA’s fall from grace, dropping out of the top 10 crypto projects by market cap and trading far below its September 2021 peak of $3.09.

The Chang Fork’s potential to be a game-changer lies in its promise of decentralized governance, a long-awaited feature for Cardano. However, the initial announcement failed to spark an immediate price increase for ADA. The broader market’s negativity and competition from established players like Ethereum and Solana remain significant hurdles.
Despite some ambitious predictions suggesting ADA could reach $2 or even $5.50, the road to recovery seems tougher. A more realistic target might be a break above 50 cents, achievable with increased user adoption and community backing. Historical events like the 2021 Alonzo hard fork, which saw ADA surge 30x, offer a glimmer of hope. But whether the Chang Fork can replicate that success is a question that only time will answer.
