Cardano Price Prediction: Will ADA Surge 25% or Get Left Behind by Rival Cryptos Before October 2025?

Cardano faces its moment of truth - can the blockchain deliver on its 25% growth promise or watch competitors eat its lunch?

The ADA Countdown Begins

With October 2025 looming, Cardano's network upgrades face their ultimate stress test. The 25% price target isn't just a number - it's a make-or-break threshold for investor confidence.

Meanwhile, rival protocols aren't sitting idle. Ethereum's layer-2 solutions are vacuuming up developer talent while Solana's transaction speeds continue setting new benchmarks. Even newer entrants are deploying venture capital war chests that make traditional IPO funding look like pocket change.

The Institutional Gambit

Wall Street's recent crypto embrace cuts both ways - bringing legitimacy while threatening to turn decentralized dreams into just another asset class for billionaires to manipulate. Cardano's academic approach either becomes its competitive edge or its Achilles' heel in this new landscape.

As the calendar pages flip toward October, ADA holders face a simple question: bet on the methodical roadmap or chase the shiny objects elsewhere? Sometimes the smartest trade isn't picking winners - it's avoiding the projects that promise revolution but deliver PowerPoint presentations.

Trump signs order creating new U.S. TikTok company

Vance said, “The way that we’ve set up this deal from a national security perspective is that it’s the American investors and the American businesspeople who will make the determination about what’s actually happening with TikTok.”

He added that the agreement values the business at $14 billion. Under Trump’s order, a new joint-venture company will oversee TikTok’s U.S. operations, with ByteDance holding less than a 20% stake.

Among the investors in the new company are Oracle, private-equity firm Silver Lake, and the Abu Dhabi-based MGX investment fund.

Other ByteDance investors, including General Atlantic, Susquehanna, and Sequoia, are expected to contribute equity to the new U.S. entity. The federal government will not take an equity stake or a so-called golden share in the operation.

Vance said, “At the end of the day, I believe that north of 80% of the company will be owned by the American investors and their partners. This is not something where the Chinese or any Chinese entity has a large stake of the table.” On the day Trump signed the order, he said Chinese President Xi Jinping gave the deal the go-ahead, while Vance said the Chinese government showed some resistance.

So far, ByteDance has not publicly acknowledged Trump’s executive order or confirmed that the transaction is taking place, as Cryptopolitan reported. There has also been no sign that the Chinese government has changed its laws to allow such a deal to MOVE forward.
