TL;DR

Cardano (ADA) has surged 120% in two weeks, crossing $0.80. Analysts predict further gains. Speculation about a Cardano/Ripple alliance has fueled excitement, though no official announcement has been made yet.

ADA Keeps Pumping

Some of the leading altcoins, including Solana (SOL), Binance Coin (BNB), Ripple (XRP), and more, have registered minor losses in the past 24 hours. However, this is not the case with Cardano (ADA), which stands as the top-performing top 20 cryptocurrency today (November 20).

At the time of this writing, its price is above $0.80, the highest level witnessed since May 2022. The asset has been up a whopping 120% in the last two weeks, and its market capitalization is nearing $30 billion.

Crypto King also noted the resurgence, reminding that most people called Cardano a scam when ADA was worth around $0.30 earlier this year. The analyst said the price has soared by 2.5x since then, claiming it is poised for a further rally.

Other analysts envisioning a bright future for Cardanos native token include FLASH and Lucid. The former believes it is approaching the next level above $1, while the latter outlined some important factors signaling that it is about to go Interstellar.

Some examples include Cardanos high Minimum Attack Vector (MAV) and the fact that there are no scheduled token unlocks (which increase the circulating supply and might lead to a price drop).

Further Rise Under This Condition?

Crypto X has recently been rampant with rumors that ADAs price may experience a significant bull run if Cardano makes a strategic alliance with Ripple.

The speculation was fueled after Cardanos founder, Charles Hoskinson, held discussions with top executives from the other entity. He had conversations with Ripples CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, and the companys CTO, David Schwartz. 

Hoskinson recently indicated that he will spend some of his time helping the Donald Trump administration establish a comprehensive regulatory environment for the cryptocurrency industry. For his part, Garlinghouse was rumored to have met the now-elect American president or someone from his cabinet to discuss possible reforms involving the digital asset sector. As such, the two execs might have touched upon that topic.

However, the exact point of discussion remains unknown, and there has been no official announcement about a Cardano/Ripple partnership. It will be interesting to follow the updates on the matter and see ADAs price reaction if the two entities decide to shake hands.
