Cardano (ADA) Attracts Fresh Institutional Capital As Grayscale Expands Holdings

Cardano’s price may be in a downward action due to a weakening crypto environment, but there has been a resurgence in buying activity from both retail and institutional investors across the sector. This resurgence in buying activity is indicated by the steady purchase by Grayscale, one of the leading treasury companies in the world. Grayscale Makes More Cardano Allocations Despite its persistent pullback in price over the past few months, institutional interest in Cardano (ADA) appears to be strengthening once again. According to a recent report from Dave, a crypto enthusiast, Grayscale Investments has increased its exposure to ADA after a fresh purchase. With its steady allocation move, the ADA weighting in the company’s Smart Contract Fund now sits at over 20.12% from its prior level of 19.50%. This marks another consecutive rise and signals that investors are once again confident in the altcoin’s long-term fundamentals, as they attentively examine high-conviction holdings in the cryptocurrency market. As ADA secures a larger share within the firm’s holdings, the allocation can also be seen as strategic positioning for what’s ahead. It is worth noting that the latest allocation was conducted just a week after the previous one. During the period, the firm’s ADA allocation moved from 19.50% to 19.55% in the smart contract fund. There are speculations that the move could be linked to recent rapid momentum and integration work around Bitcoin Decentralized Finance (DeFi) within the Cardano ecosystem . Dave highlighted that this is taking place as Cardano bolsters its push into the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem. The purpose of his move is to restore external BTC liquidity on the network via non-custodial Collateral, stablecoin-based credit, and lending structures built to avoid fragility driven by liquidation. Furthermore, Cardano’s smart contract layer makes this possible, and this approach clarifies why large asset managers would be covertly expanding their exposure. Thus, institutions that need predictable, non-liquidating borrowing, and retail users looking for high-quality yield on idle Bitcoin could be able to utilize the network. The Projects On The Leading Network Are Just Real Ones Currently, the activity across the Cardano ecosystem is decreasing at a remarkable pace. Mintern, a market expert and Chief Meme Officer (CMO) of Minswap, has reported a sharp drop in the number of projects launched on the network since 2021. In 2021, the number of projects on the network skyrocketed with more than 100 projects within the year, signaling confidence in the network’s scalability, governance model, and long-term roadmap. Meanwhile, in 2026, the projects have fallen, leaving only the real ones. Mintern noted that the network is now advancing with Midnight building privacy-focused rails for long-term adoption, not short-term speculation. Amid the reduced network activity, the main question circulating across the community is who is still building in 2026 .
