$ADA: Robinhood dodaja podporo za Cardano pred težko pričakovano nadgradnjo omrežja

Popular commission-free trading platform Robinhood, which allows users to buy a number of financial assets including equities, options contracts, and cryptocurrencies, has listed the popular smart contract platform Cardano ($ADA).

The platform now supports a wide number of cryptocurrencies after first launching its offering back in 2018, with BTC and ETH being the only cryptoassets available. It then added Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash, before adding several other tokens.

Robinhood’s listing announcement on social media implies Cardano was added to the platform in response to customer demand. Cardano’s ADA is now being actively traded on the platform, with the listing coming ahead of a major upgrade to the cryptocurrency’s network, the Vasil hard fork.

Hard fork Vasil je velika nadgradnja, ki bo vključevala štiri predloge za izboljšanje Cardano (CIP). Hard fork naj bi bil izveden konec junija, vendar je bil odloženo zaradi propada Terra, saj je ekipa, ki stoji za njim, želela biti previdna, preden je poslala nadgradnjo.

Ustvarjalec Cardano Charles Hoskison je dejal, da bo hard fork prinesel "veliko izboljšanje zmogljivosti.” Hoskinson has recently noted developers are making progress on the hard fork, noting:

Stvari se odvijajo zelo hitro. Skupnost in mi še vedno izvajamo obsežna testiranja. Veliko integracijskega dela poteka v zakulisju, tako da je vsa ta infrastruktura videti dobro.

Hoskinson je opozoril, da je september "kakor izgleda" za nadgradnjo, čeprav je opozoril, da se lahko datum spremeni, če "se kaj odkrije ali če nekje naletimo na znatno upočasnitev."

Robinhood’s listing notably means that Cardano is now available to the platform’s 13.2 million monthly active users, which could boost its liquidity. As reported, a popular cryptocurrency analyst has suggested that Cardano could soon start outperforming the flagship cryptocurrency Bitcoin as traders start using the cryptocurrency to hedge against Ethereum’s transition from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) one.

Po besedah ​​gostitelja Coin Bureau, ki je delil videoposnetek, v katerem je posodabljal svojih 2.1 milijona naročnikov na YouTubu o trgu kriptovalut, lahko pametne pogodbene platforme, ki niso Ethereum – kot so Cardano, Solana in BNB Chain – veljajo za varovanje pred prihajajočim glavnim trgom Ethereuma. nadgradnja, Merge.
