    ADA Pumps 15% as Grayscale Cardano ETF Triggers Buying Frenzy

    Story Highlights
    • Cardano (ADA) price surged over 15% in 24 hours, mirroring Bitcoin's upward movement and a broader positive shift in the altcoin market.

    • Grayscale Investments has filed for a spot Cardano ETF, aiming to offer institutional investors exposure to ADA price movements.

    • Analysts suggest ADA needs to hold above key support levels to confirm a bullish trend and potentially reach new all-time highs.

    As Bitcoin (BTC) tested a key resistance level above $98,000, Cardano (ADA) wasn’t far behind, surging in tandem with the broader altcoin market. The large-cap altcoin, valued at around $35.7 billion in fully diluted terms, saw a sharp 15% jump in just 24 hours. With a daily trading volume of about $1.1 billion, ADA was trading near $0.79 on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, during the early European session.

    The crypto market is recovering after two weeks of heavy liquidations in leveraged trading. Sentiment is improving, with Layer 1 (L1) blockchains like Toncoin (TON), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and Ethereum (ETH) leading the rebound.

    Let’s dig deep.

    Grayscale Files for a Spot Cardano ETF

    Adding to the momentum, Grayscale Investments has officially filed for a spot Cardano exchange-traded fund (ETF) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The asset manager submitted its application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to offer institutional investors exposure to ADA through shares backed by actual holdings.

    The move to list the Grayscale Cardano Trust is likely influenced by the shift in U.S. leadership under President Donald Trump . With more fund managers exploring altcoin ETFs, approvals in the next 12 to 24 months could bring significant liquidity into the altcoin market.

    What Next for Cardano?

    After five weeks of bearish pressure, Cardano’s price is showing signs of a strong recovery. According to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, ADA must hold support between $0.67 and $0.81 to avoid further downside.

    A successful rebound from the $0.81 level could push Cardano toward its all-time high above $3, marking a major breakout for the network and its investors.
