The notable price surge of this cryptocurrency is attributed primarily to two factors: Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election and the latest upgrade in Cardano’s core technology.

Cardano’s latest developments feature the release of Node version 10.1.2, a follow-up to version 10.1.1, providing further refinements. The DB Sync team has prepared a pre-release for version 13.6.0.0, designed to be compatible with Node version 10.1.0, and is currently testing it before the mainnet launch. Additionally, the Ledger team enhanced internal code quality and introduced a new query that allows users to determine the default vote for a specific stake pool operator. The performance and tracing team focused on further advancements in benchmarking and tracing.

Potential legal clarity for the ADA coin in U.S. jurisdiction

It is worth noting that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed multiple lawsuits against several crypto companies, with ADA frequently mentioned as an unregistered security token in these cases. There is a possibility that the U.S. government may introduce crypto-specific measures to ensure that flagship crypto assets, which operate based on impartial principles, can be classified as commodity assets.
