ADA aims for $4 by 2026: fundamentals and policy resonance, price is expected to challenge a 5x rise!

As the cryptocurrency market warms up in 2025, Cardano (ADA) once again takes the stage with its strong technical structure and policy topics. Within just a few weeks, the ADA price has strongly broken through $0.8 and is solidly above the key support area, with the market reassessing its long-term potential. Now, more and more investors are looking towards 2026, wondering if ADA is expected to achieve a 5-fold rise and challenge the $4 mark?
Policy Boost: ADA Included in the U.S. Crypto Reserve Concept
The "National Crypto Reserve Proposal" recently put forward by U.S. President Trump has shocked the market, with Cardano listed as one of the potential reserve assets, becoming one of the few smart contract platforms to achieve this status. This move not only enhances the recognition of ADA in international politics and finance but also hopes to attract more institutional capital's attention to the Cardano ecosystem.
Solid fundamentals: Cardano continues to upgrade and expand its applications.
The Cardano team continues to promote ecological construction, from the Hydra Layer 2 scaling solution to the optimization of Plutus smart contracts, and recently to the landing cooperation with African financial technology, demonstrating strong technical strength and landing potential.
At the same time, Cardano's low fees, high security, and good scalability are attracting more and more developers and DeFi applications to migrate to its platform, making it one of the preferred ecosystems outside of Ethereum.
Price prediction: Target over $4 in 2026?
At the current price of about $0.8, a 5-fold rise would reach $4. This target is not without basis; historically, ADA has soared from $0.02 to over $3 during bull market cycles, with a rise of more than 100 times.
If the macro market continues to heat up, coupled with the advancement of Cardano's own ecosystem and favorable policies, challenging $4 to $5 in 2026 is not out of reach. If ETFs or government/institutional funds enter the market, it will further drive price explosion.
Cardano is not only a short-term speculative tool but may also be the long-term dark horse of the next bull market. For long-term investors, now might be the key moment to lay out positions in advance and wait for the rise.
