Cardano has several major initiatives progressing in parallel. - Leios working on scaling. - Bitcoin DeFi bringing new liquidity and interoperability. - LayerZero integration expanding cross chain connectivity. - Pyth integration providing oracle infrastructure and external

If you like these updates, please interact, share and I will try and do it more often :)

Over the past month, Cardano has seen meaningful progress across several fronts. Interoperability has improved, stablecoin adoption has accelerated, additional tier one exchanges have begun supporting Cardano native assets, and total value locked across the ecosystem has grown

8.17 billion of this ADA sits in the reserve and the treasury

There will only ever be 45 billion ADA, it's max capped exactly like BTC
