Cardano Price Struggles Despite SEC Ruling and Record DeFi TVL

The recent SEC classification of Cardano (ADA) as a commodity has failed to boost its price, which remains stagnant at $0.24. This is despite the record DeFi total value locked of 520 million ADA and the ongoing efforts of builders on the network.

Meanwhile, the Pepeto exchange has gained traction with over $8 million raised and a confirmed Binance listing. The platform offers attractive features such as zero-fee trades, cross-chain bridge transfers at zero cost, and staking at 187% APY.

The cardano price prediction for April 2026 suggests that ADA may reach $0.40 by mid-year if market conditions improve. However, the presale entry with a confirmed Binance listing may offer better returns than waiting for the price to recover.
