- Cardano’s Shelley update is the main catalyst for the token’s recent surge.
- ADA has room for growth as investors pursue lower rates to buy and stake on exchanges.
Ryan Selkis, the CEO of Messari, recently commented on Cardano’s rise in price and observed that it still has room to grow. According to him, lower staking rates for ADA could mean a higher reward payout for investors who are “wondering if they’re late to the party.”
The CEO noted that Cardano’s upcoming Shelley is one of the catalysts for the token’s recent surge.
The potential discrepancy between staked and un-staked ADA however, could bode well for bulls even after Shelley goes live. While the initial staking percentage won't be known until after launch, Cardano's incentivized testnet saw participation from ~40% of the reported supply. If this carries over to mainnet, Cardano's staking rates will be significantly lower than other large-cap networks like Tezos (80%) and Cosmos (71%).
Selkis said that there is plenty of room for growth in ADA as investors pursue lower staking rates to buy and stake on exchanges.
