Cardano News Today: Why are ADA prices still falling after three major updates?

Cardano's Today's News: Price declines, domain name progress and TPS record

Despite the constant positive news, Cardano has had a difficult day on the chart. If you had just browsed the headlines in today's ADA news feed, you would expect the ADA to be rising, not declining. That's what makes Cardano's news odd today: Three solid updates were released one after another in a matter of days, but prices were moving in the opposite direction.

So, what really happened? Here are the reasons for the decline in prices, three updates that have sparked heated discussions, and the real reasons for the decline in ADA.

Key Points

• According to CoinGecko, ADA fell 7.2% to US$0.2358, a decline of more than 8% in the past week.
The
• Foundation.ada domain name bid entered the next phase of ICANN's gTLD project and received approximately 75% community support.
• CIP-0113 programmable token was launched on the main network and broke its own transaction speed record with a speed of 436 TPS in a single block.

Cardano News Today: ADA Prices, Domain Names Updates and TPS Records

There are three separate stories that make up today's Cardano News. One is about price, and two are about the Internet becoming stronger. Each item is introduced in order below.

Cardano Price Today: How deep has ADA fallen?

团队在 X（原推特）上表示，他们离运营自己的 .ada 域名又近了一步。ICANN 将基金会的申请推进到其新通用顶级域（New gTLD）计划的下一阶段。如果获得批准，.ada 将与 .com 和 .org 一起位于全球互联网地址系统中，让应用程序在其独立的网络地址上运行。

基金会指出，这遵循了一项治理投票，该投票以约 75% 的社区支持率通过。这是今天最大的 Cardano 新闻之一，它指向了构建真正基础设施的长期推动力，而不仅仅是移动价格图表。对于一个通常仅凭交易来评判的网络来说，这是迈向主流互联网基础设施的一个罕见步骤。

CIP-0113 可编程代币在主网上线

According to a post on X on the Cardanians account, the Cardano programmable token built based on CIP-0113 is now fully available on the main network. The standard allows regulated assets to be directly subject to KYC inspections, anti-money laundering screening, sanctions inspections, transfer restrictions and freezing at the token level, without the need for hard forks.

It runs on an open source reference tool written in Aiken, a smart contract language built specifically for the chain that checks compliance rules every time it is cast, destroyed, and transferred. These checks occur only once per transaction, rather than once for each holder they contact, so costs remain stable as activity grows. The design uses a "zero-withdrawal" model and ownership based on pledged certificates and is designed to make it easier for institutions to use Cardano's network without adding additional friction.

Cardano broke its own TPS record

This week it also broke its own transaction speed record, surpassing the previous record of 345 transactions in a single block.

Data from Chainspect shows that Cardano's TPS runs at 6.28 transactions per second a day, an increase of 66.15%, while its largest single TPS reaches 436.

For a chain often called slow by competitors, this is a real throughput gain. While none of this has prevented the current ADA token price from plummeting, it suggests that the network continues to get faster in the background, even as traders are selling.

Why is Cardano plummeting today?

This part is confusing. None of the three updates above are bad news. So why are tokens plummeting? The honest answer is: There is no specific Cardano reason. Pressure comes from Bitcoin.

Data tracked by Lookonchain shows that the U.S. government diverted another 12,267 BTC items, worth approximately US$1.01 billion, from its positions. During the same three days, the government also deposited 17,733 BTC worth approximately $1.48 billion and 750 WBTC worth $62 million into Coinbase Prime. During this period, Bitcoin prices fell by 6.9%.

Large wallet operations like this tend to disrupt the broader crypto market, and the token (like most altcoins) tends to follow Bitcoin's sentiments. That's why it's still falling today even with the real good news behind it. Fear comes from outside Cardano's own progress, not from within.

What is the future of ADA?

The next mark to watch out for is the Amaru node. The team behind it aims to launch a beta release about four weeks after the pre-release on September 29, around October 27. Amaru aims to provide another node option for the chain, adding resilience to the network over time. Since it is still before main web block production starts, its impact on prices currently seems limited. Until then, the story of the price collapse may track more Bitcoin's big-wallet operations than anything on the Cardano roadmap.

Expert opinion: Market analysts tracked by

point to a pattern that occurs frequently in the crypto market. When broader market pressures take over, powerful project-level news and short-term price actions can move in the opposite direction. The progress of the ada domain name, the launch of CIP-0113 and the new TPS record are all structural and gains in building the Cardano case over time.

The current price slump appears to be related to wallet activity targeted at Bitcoin, rather than any problems with Cardano's own progress. Analysts often view this divergence of improving fundamentals and falling prices as a signal that near-term sentiment and long-term developments are driven by different forces, and warn against interpreting either in isolation.

Conclusion

Today's Cardano news is a mixture of good and bad updates, but the network's progress is out of touch with sales. New domain name paths, real-time compliance-ready tokens and faster chains are all moving forward this week. The ADA price collapse traces Bitcoin's wallet activity rather than its own news, and this gap is worth observing.
