The Cardano price is trading around $0.59 after yesterday’s rally following a 90-day tariff break was stopped today.
Most altcoins actually retraced from local highs and ADA was no exception after dipping from $0.64 to $0.59 today.
However, popular YouTube channel ‘Discover Crypto’ that has over 1.4 million subscribers released a viral video about Cardano that could be very positive for ADA holders.
What you'll learn 👉
ADA’s Decline and Potential Ripple Connection
Cardano has dropped over 60% from its highs after Trump’s election. This big fall has many investors looking for something that might push the price back up. A surprising connection with Ripple and XRP might be that something.
The buzz started when Ripple put out a video that began with the Cardano logo. Crypto fans didn’t think this was just random. Social media quickly filled with talk about a possible team-up between XRP and Cardano.
Charles Hoskinson, who created Cardano, has often said he’s open to working with XRP. In November 2024, he talked about how they could help each other. Cardano could bring its DeFi features to XRP. They could add more liquidity and stablecoin options. They might even build bridges between the two networks. Hoskinson also mentioned that Cardano’s privacy project, Midnight, could possibly work with XRP.

What RLUSD Could Mean for Cardano
In December 2024, Hoskinson mentioned he was having both business and tech talks with Ripple. He hoped that RLUSD, which is Ripple’s stablecoin, could work across different blockchains, including Cardano. By March 27, 2025, he said the talks with Ripple were getting more serious. He hinted that they were making progress on bringing RLUSD to Cardano, even if nothing was official yet.
This RLUSD addition could be a big deal for Cardano. According to Tap Tools, which tracks DeFi activity, Cardano doesn’t have a main stablecoin right now. This leaves room for RLUSD to become the go-to stable asset in Cardano’s DeFi world.
There are several benefits to this. RLUSD could work as a native asset on Cardano, which means no need for complicated bridges or wrapping. This would mean lower risks and fees for transactions. It would use Cardano’s proven security. Plus, developers and users have been asking for more stablecoin options.
With Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s CEO, supporting this move, the XRP ecosystem could really help Cardano’s DeFi growth. Many think Ripple is positioning RLUSD to be the main stablecoin that shapes Cardano’s financial future.
The ‘Discover Crypto’ channel looked at ADA’s share of the crypto market using technical charts. Back in 2018, Cardano reached 5% of the total crypto market before falling during the bear market. It formed what traders call a “head and shoulders” pattern, which is usually a good sign. A similar pattern seems to be forming now.
If the total crypto market reaches $5 trillion by October 2025, and ADA gets to 3.5% of that market, Cardano’s total value would be about $175 billion. Since it’s now worth around $20 billion, that would be about 9 times higher. This puts the possible price per ADA at around $5.18.
The video ends by suggesting investors should hold onto their ADA. It says 2025 could be the year Cardano bounces back, especially if it does end up working more closely with Ripple.
