Cardano speeds up transition to Dijkstra, enters Van Rossum hard fork process
Cardano has submitted a governance proposal to start the Van Rossum hard fork on its mainnet, a step toward moving into the Dijkstra era. Van Rossum is a hard fork within the same era that introduces some new features and lays groundwork for Dijkstra, which ultimately brings Leios to the Cardano mainnet. The process follows testing on preview and preproduction networks and includes a Plutus cost model parameter update.

Charles Hoskinson says no dominant player in Bitcoin DeFi, sees opening for Cardano
Charles Hoskinson has pointed to Bitcoin DeFi (BTCFi) as a key growth area where Cardano can gain an early lead. He said no project currently dominates the competition and argued Cardano already has the right technology and a head start. The focus in BTCFi is bringing Bitcoin liquidity into DeFi while reducing reliance on centralised custodians and weak bridge designs. He also cited Cardano’s Midnight partner chain and recent atomic swap progress.

Cardano warning over possible slide out of top 15 by market value rekindles \'dead chain\' debate
Criticism has resurfaced that Cardano (ADA) could slip out of the top 15 cryptocurrencies by market value this year. Market analyst Shah said investor attention is moving to ecosystems with higher activity and stronger growth momentum. Cardano ranks 13th with a market value of $9.45 billion. Shah estimated it would need to fall to $0.202 and lose $2.12 billion in value to drop out of the top 15. Supporters cite ongoing development and rising DeFi usage.
