Cardano (ADA) is back in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap after spiking more than 130% since November 5.
The altcoin, which has struggled to break above $0.36 and traded around $0.32 on November 5, 2024, rose to highs above $0.81. ADA is 7% in the past 24 hours, an impressive +34% in the past week and over 130% up in two weeks.
Why is Cardano price up today?For Cardano, the latest gains come as rumours emerge that the US government is looking to tap into the Cardano network.
Specifically, it’s about using the smart contracts network to develop a new electoral voting system that will benefit from blockchain transparency.
Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency will lead this project, reports suggest, with partnerships including X, Cardano and Hedera among others.
This has added to the bullish outlook for ADA and Hedera. In the market, HBAR rose sharply to highs of $0.13, with a 38% spike in 24 hours.
The altcoin has jumped 119% in the past week. Cardano is up more than 130% in the last seven days.

ADA will get this milestone with the activation of its Voltaire upgrade.
Recently, the implementation of the Chang hardfork moved the community closer to this major development.
In a comment on Cardano’s future, founder Charles Hoskinson said in a recent post on X:
Charles Hoskinson@IOHK_Charles·FollowWhen people ask why cardano, this is why. We have the best community and the best entrepreneurs. It’s a harder road, but it will change the world. I’m proud of them all, and with Voltaire, they will make the finest government ever assembled by humanity
