There have been significant developments in the Cardano ecosystem, including a large 24h trading volume of over $X billion for ADA and the introduction of a way to stake ADA to earn $NIGHT and $ADA. Additionally, S&P launched a broad index crypto fund that includes Cardano ADA. The crypto market is also seeing increased integration with traditional payment systems, such as Moonpay's integration with PayPal.

"The biggest problem with cryptocurrencies is that they are not widely accepted by the general public as currency. Crypto almost always has to be converted to fiat either in advance or on the fly. Sure a few retail outlets accept Bitcoin but their numbers are microscopic compared to the macro economy (eg Amazon Walmart Taco Bell 7/11 Automobiles Real Estate etc) Yes you can point to a few obscure examples where crypto was used to buy a house or a Lambo pay an athlete whatever private peer-to-peer sales but its still not common practice for ANY blockchain or token. Not even Bitcoin. Highly"
