Cardano becomes a hot topic in the cryptocurrency circle: Promotion of exclusive top-level domains, whale activity surges
Cardano is becoming a hot topic in the cryptocurrency circle due to its commitment to launching exclusive Internet domain names. At the same time, surging whale trading activity and rising social attention suggest that ADA momentum is gathering again.
In response to discussions on the X platform, the Cardano Foundation confirmed that its application for the.ada top-level domain has entered the next stage and is currently in the process of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Universal Top-Level Domain (gTLD) project. If approved,.ada will place Cardano among the global Internet addressing systems, alongside well-known suffixes such as.com and. org. This application is part of the community governance action and received a support rate of approximately 75%, demonstrating the community's high attention and strong support for the initiative.
Why is this development critical? Obtaining the domain name is expected to strengthen Cardano's digital identity and expand its influence beyond blockchain and encryption.
Cardano's online whale trading volume soars

According to Sanitation Intelligence, Cardano's whale trading activity has entered "speeding" mode after hitting a four-month high. The leading provider of on-chain indicators noted that Cardano recorded 413 transactions worth more than $100,000 in a single day, the highest level of whale activity since June 4.
This increase has been accompanied by a sharp rise in ADA's market value since September 16, with an increase of approximately 42%. Social attention is also closely followed: Sanitation pointed out that ADA's social dominance reached 1.16%, the highest reading in 2026. As the altcoin rebounded from approximately US$0.19 to US$0.27 and returned to public view, market popularity rebounded significantly. According to CoinGecko data, Cardano is currently trading at $0.24.
What triggered this renewed interest (renewed interest in this context means "renewed interest")? Earlier this month, RealFi, a platform based on the stablecoin system and real-world assets (RWA), was launched on Cardano's main network. In addition, market expectations for Leios, Fireblocks support and potential new institutional consolidation have also sparked widespread discussion about Cardano's future. These measures will help boost market confidence in ADA's long-term prospects.
At the same time, although Cardano is still trading more than 90% below its all-time high, it may still have inherent advantages that the market ignores. Market analyst John Nakamoto recently described on-chain discoveries as "unbelievable," arguing that the active data behind the ADA downturn price chart deserves a closer look.
