  • Cardanoโ€™s fate remains uncertain in the US. 
  • Despite its regulatory challenges, Cardano is attracting liquidity from different regions of the world. 
  • Hong Kong investors, in particular, remain very bullish on Cardano. 

Cardano continues to navigate regulatory challenges stemming from the US SECโ€™s classification of the asset as an unregistered security in its high-profile lawsuits involving major exchanges. 

Despite these challenges, Cardano holds firm and continues to shine as it attracts massive liquidity from global markets, particularly Hong Kong, where the projectโ€™s appeal remains strong. 

Cardano Welcomed in Other Regions

While Cardanoโ€™s fate in the US hangs by a thread, it has managed to attract substantial liquidity from Hong Kong investors, who remain bullish on the networkโ€™s long-term prospects.

This was evident in the latest report from Hong Kong Virtual Asset Consortiumโ€™s (HKVAC) Crypto Index. Data revealed that Cardano held a notable position among top holdings in the index with a weight of 2.77%, placing ADA alongside renowned tokens like Bitcoin, Ethereum, USD Coin, Ripple, and Tether.

While Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether each represented a 15% weight in the index due to their massive dominance and use, ADAโ€™s weight did not fall short in underscoring its growing appeal beyond the dominance of these tokens, signifying its position as a prominent player in the industry. 

This inclusion in the HKVAC Crypto Index is a significant achievement for Cardano, as it recognizes the increasing adoption and demand for ADA. Although Cardano may not be welcomed in the US as leading exchanges delist the token, its vision continues to resonate with investors worldwide, who recognize its potential and actively contribute to expanding the ecosystem.
