Cardano finds a place among the top 10 cryptocurrencies. In the recent bull cycle, only Stellar(XLM) exceeded Cardano's gains (28% vs. 20%) among the top cryptos.
Recently, Coinbase's decision to list Cardano on its exchange caused the cryptocurrency price to shoot up. Another reason for the price surge is the fact that altcoins increasingly draw the attention of regulators and institutions such as the Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA) Institute.
Additionally, Cardano's Shelly project is quite exciting. It aims to make the blockchain network fully decentralized.
