Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson warned that the U.S. CLARITY Act could take years to implement and may favour established cryptocurrencies while making it harder for new projects to grow.

On November 21, 2025, Cardano suffered its most serious technical failure in nearly a decade, when a single flawed delegation transaction triggered a rare chain split—effectively causing the blockchain to divide into two competing versions of itself.

A specially crafted delegation transaction caused Cardano’s network to split into two conflicting chains, disrupting exchanges, DeFi apps, and users. Developers quickly deployed emergency fixes, restored consensus, and confirmed that no user funds were lost.

Charles Hoskinson’s pet pig, Nike, inspired a memecoin that quickly reached nearly $1 million in value. Hoskinson turned down a $3 million offer for Nike, saying the pig is priceless.

Cardano’s Midnight sidechain will distribute tokens to 37 million users across eight major blockchains, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, in one of the largest airdrops in blockchain history. The airdrop, called the Glacier Drop, will issue NIGHT and DUST tokens and aims to promote privacy in decentralized finance.

The Cardano Foundation has launched Veridian, an open-source digital identity platform that gives users control over their data without relying on third-party verification. The platform features a Veridian Wallet for secure credential management and integrates with the Cardano blockchain for added trust and security.

Trump’s trade war spurred a market downturn, wiping out billions in a day. Bitcoin fell below $85,000, Ethereum dropped 11%, and crypto lost $500 billion, erasing gains from his US Crypto Reserve announcement. Is this a brief dip or a deeper decline?

A trader profited $6.8 million from leveraged Bitcoin and Ethereum longs, exiting soon after Trump confirmed a crypto reserve. The timing, with Ethereum longs placed minutes before the announcement, has sparked speculation.

In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump announced he would be creating a Crypto Strategic Reserve that includes XRP, SOL and ADA on top of Bitcoin and ETH.

The Cardano Foundation's X account was hacked on Sunday, spreading false claims about a Solana token and an SEC lawsuit. The Foundation confirmed the breach and promised updates via LinkedIn. While recovery is ongoing, did their swift response help stabilize ADA’s price?
