Cardano jumps as bitcoin trades sideways, hits five-month high

Cardano\'s ADA token rose as much as 12 percent to $0.27, its highest level in five months, as bitcoin and ether showed little movement. The jump coincided with expectations for network expansion and new service launches, including the RealFi RWA tokenisation platform and USDr stablecoin integrations.
