With a market valuation of $28.68 billion, Cardano (ADA) has claimed the 9th position in cryptocurrency market capitalization, surpassing Avalanche (AVAX). Despite recent inflows into its ecosystem, the coin beat Avalanche’s $22.28 billion to attain the title of 9th largest coin. As the value of Cardano’s ecosystem has skyrocketed, so too have funds flowing into it. From roughly $1.7 million in mid-January to a present-day total value locked (TVL) up at just under $315 million – or a 18420% increase. The Cardano team has entered the third phase of its construction, a process known as Basho, the Cardano’s next era after Alonzo.

With the surge of total value locked at over $314.87 million from roughly $168.95 million, big things are expected for this crypto project. Cardano’s TVL has increased by more than 80% in just two weeks. And It is currently worth $225.9 million without including staked governance assets.

The Cardano Minswap has seen a surge in total value locked (TVL) over the last week, with 121% more locked up than before.

The coin has been on a downward journey after reaching its ATH at $3.10 in September 2021.
