Cardano (ADA) has been pretty stable lately, despite the recent uncertainty when it comes to crypto. Even with the market being quiet, there are a couple of key things brewing that could give ADA a boost.
In this blog post, we'll go over these factors, why they matter, and how they might change Cardano's direction in 2025.
How a U.S. Government Shutdown Can Change Crypto and Cardano
Usually, people think about politics when the government shuts down, not crypto. But shutdowns can surprisingly affect risk-friendly markets.
How the Last Shutdown Caused Bitcoin to Jump 300%
Back in early 2019, after the U.S. government reopened, Bitcoin went up over 300% in about five months. Typically, when Bitcoin does well, other coins like Cardano tend to follow suit.
Why This Shutdown Was Important
Recently, the U.S. faced a record-breaking government shutdown of 43 days. Now that it's over, it could bring back confidence and excitement to the markets, possibly leading to a similar situation as in 2019.
If the past is any indication, ADA might be one of the first altcoins to bounce back.
New Stimulus Checks Could Boost Crypto
There's talk about new stimulus checks in the U.S., but this time, tariffs would pay for them, not just printing more money. The plan is to give about $2,000 to most American households.
How This Impacts Crypto
If this happens, a lot of new money will enter the economy. In the past, people have used stimulus money to buy crypto. Regular investors often buy crypto quickly, mainly when coins like Cardano are at affordable prices. This could cause Cardano to bounce back.
Big Players Are Here
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are available. Institutions and firms are quietly investing. Web3, DeFi, and smart-contract use are growing.
Lots of Cash Ready to Go
Stablecoin reserves are at record levels. This means there's a ton of cash waiting to be invested in the market. These stimulus checks or institutional adoption could be the spark that triggers a flood of new investments.
Cardano (ADA): What's Next?
Cardano has some notable strengths:
- Good staking stats
- Ongoing tech upgrades
- A helpful community
To really stand out, ADA needs a boost. If the aftermath of the shutdown leads to a boost, or a stimulus happens, ADA might grab the market's attention.
Cardano's Staying Power: The Bottom Line
Things may seem quiet, but there's a lot planned. With its solid base, resources, and help from these two potential factors, ADA is ready to make a big move when the timing is right. Cardano is not slowing down; it’s getting ready for what comes next.
