Cardano’s ADA tokens surged 33% in the past 24 hours, outperforming bitcoin and other majors, as founder Charles Hoskinson revealed plans to help shape U.S. crypto policy under the Trump administration — boosting speculative bets on the token.
ADA rose above 58 cents for the first time since April, extending 7-day gains to over 77%, with trading volumes surging to $3.3 billion on Saturday compared to $300 million during 24 hours on Friday.

ADA-denominated open interest on futures tracking the token jumped to 858 million ADA, or over $500 million at current prices. Open interest refers to the number of unsettled futures bets and is indicative of new money flowing into an asset in expectations of higher volatility in the future.
Such moves came amid a generally bullish week which saw Republican Donald Trump elected as U.S. president and a fresh round of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve on Thursday, supporting growth across all major tokens.
However, a burst of speculative frenzy around ADA likely came in response to Hoskinson's plans to support U.S. crypto policy under the Trump administration, per a Friday podcast.
“I’m going to be spending quite a bit of time working with lawmakers in Washington DC to help foster and facilitate with other key leaders in the industry with the crypto policy,” Hoskinson said in his X podcast. “We have to do this.”

Hoskinson added in the podcast that the Cardano development lab Input Output will set up a local office to support policy development, stating he “hopes to be part of” actual policy shaping when Trump takes office.

BofA survey flags dollar bearish bets at over a decade high. Here's what it means for bitcoin
BofA's February survey shows investor positioning in the U.S. dollar has fallen to its most negative level since at least early 2012.
What to know:
- Investors are more bearish on the U.S. dollar than ever, a positioning that has historically been a bullish tailwind for bitcoin because a weaker dollar tends to support risk assets.
- Since early 2025, bitcoin has developed an unusually positive correlation with the dollar, with their 90-day correlation reaching 0.60 even as both the dollar index and BTC have fallen.
- If this new link holds, a further dollar slide could hurt bitcoin, while a sharp dollar short squeeze and rebound could instead lift BTC.
