Cardano has been one of the best performers in the crypto top 10 by market cap over the last seven days. Proof-of-Stake networks are at the forefront of the business, while Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies lag behind.
Over the last week, Avalanche (AVAX) has profited by nearly 30%, while Ethereum (ETH) has profited by 16% and Cardano (ADA) has profited by 13%.ADA’s price trades at $0.89 as of press time and could see further gains in the short term as the market experiences further gains.
Cardano pump: Cardano (ADA) has been correcting since hitting an all-time high of roughly $3. The price has even dropped below $1 and is currently selling at roughly 90 cents. However, recent rumours of a burn mechanism deployment have made things a tad positive for Cardano, which is currently pumping 13%. Even ADA’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, expressed his displeasure with the rumour.
The increase in price: The supply of a token is reduced through a burn mechanism, resulting in a price increase. This is why the news was positive. The rumour was also published by a prominent Twitter feed, WatcherGuru, causing it to spread like wildfire. Over the last week, ADA has risen to become one of the top gainers, which no one could have predicted.
Clark Alesna’s tweet: The origins of this myth can be traced back to a joke made by Clark Alesna, CEO of SAIB Inc. Clark said on Twitter that she will be working on a burn mechanism for ADA, something no one else seems to be working on. As a result, she has decided to take matters into her own hands. While it appears to be a joke based on the answers to the tweets, other media outlets depicted it in a different manner.
Is network burn a disadvantage? In fact, many people who understand how ADA works believe that a burn will be detrimental to the network. According to one user, layer 1 tokens should not burn, and it’s probable that the same is true for layer 2 protocols. It’s also pointless to compare this to Ethereum because their accounting models are vastly different.
The ADA will rise sooner or later: Cardano has one of the most active and developer-friendly communities of any cryptocurrency. There are various projects being developed on the platform, and anyone who claims that ADA is dead is simply misinformed. The adoption of ADA is very remarkable, and it is growing by the day. One of the reasons why ADA is important is because of its smart contract features, which were the source of the decline. It’s a bargain at this price.
