Summary:
The founder of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, is considering an exit from the social media platform of Twitter ‘if there is no path to verification’. According to Mr. Hoskinson, such a move would put an end to all the unscrupulous individuals impersonating him in a bid to defraud the Cardano community. He also pointed out a lack of action from Twitter support
via the following tweet.An increase in scammers and fraudsters targetting the Cardano community is a result of ADA rising to become the third-ranking digital asset according to market capitalization. In the last few weeks, Cardano has edged out heavyweights such as Binance Coin (BNB), XRP, Polkadot and Litecoin, to claim the number 3 spot below Ethereum and Bitcoin.
The success of Cardano can be attributed to the recent Mary Upgrade. This mainnet upgrade turned Cardano into a multi-asset platform that will allow users to create custom tokens such as NFTs without the use of smart contracts.
Furthermore, institutional demand for Cardano could be around the corner due to Cardano’s recent market performance. Evidence of this can be found in Cardano recently being added to the Bloomberg terminal as well as Galaxy Digital’s Mike Novogratz, seeking additional information about ADA as seen in the following tweet.
The rise and popularity of Cardano has not gone unnoticed as Coinbase Pro announced yesterday, that it would be listing ADA. Users and investors of Cardano can now deposit their ADA to Coinbase Pro with trading scheduled to begin on or after 9 am Pacific Time, Thursday, March 18th.
