Cardano Smashes 111 Million Transactions—Is ADA Primed for a Massive Breakout?

Cardano's blockchain just crossed a staggering milestone—111 million transactions processed. The network isn’t just humming; it’s screaming for attention.

Why this matters: Transaction volume often signals network health—and investor interest. Cardano’s proof-of-stake model keeps fees low while scaling up, a combo that’s starting to turn heads beyond the usual crypto echo chamber.

The ADA angle: Price action’s been quieter than a Wall Street analyst during earnings season, but these metrics hint at building pressure. Smart contracts are live, DeFi projects are stacking up, and the ‘Ethereum killer’ narrative isn’t dead—just fashionably late.

Watch for: A surge in developer activity or a major partnership. Cardano’s got the infrastructure; now it needs that killer app to send ADA past resistance levels. Or, you know, another Elon tweet.

Bottom line: Chains that handle this much traffic don’t stay undervalued forever—unless they’re run by bankers, in which case they’d charge a ‘network maintenance fee’ for every ledger update.

Cardano has officially surpassed 111 million transactions on its network, marking a major milestone for the blockchain platform. This shows that more people are using Cardano, interacting with its dApps, and the network is growing stronger and more reliable over time.

In the past 67 days, the Cardano network has handled 276 billion ADA in transactions worth around $165 billion based on average market prices. This highlights Cardano’s strong on-chain activity.

Cardano community sentiment also hit a a 30-day high, with 93.8% of users on CoinMarketCap feeling bullish. Despite the short term price swings, the confidence in the project remain strong. Over 22 billion ADA is now staked, which represents more than 62% of Cardano’s circulating supply. This strong staking activity reflects DEEP community trust and long-term confidence in the Cardano network.

Also, Brave Browser, which integrated Cardano in beta, now has over 91 million monthly users. Its support for Cardano and the upcoming Midnight sidechain highlights growing utility and reach beyond the blockchain.

Experts predict ADA could rally toward $0.91

A veteran crypto analyst Lucky, has expressed a bullish outlook on Cardano saying that it is “screaming for higher levels.” Crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently shared that a daily close above $0.67 could trigger a strong rally for Cardano, pushing it into the $0.83–$0.91 range.

It is currrenty trading at $0.5732, down 1.6% in the last 24 hours. Cardano’s bullish sentiment is echoing its epic 2020 rally. Analysts say that the current setup feels similar and if ADA breaks above $0.80, another big MOVE could be on the horizon.
