Cardano is trading at $0.247 as the ceasefire with Iran extends today. The worst macro scenario of the week is off the table. Attention is back on the fundamental catalysts: Van Rossem, the hard fork to Protocol Version 11, is still confirmed for June 2026. The CLARITY Act has markup in May according to Moreno. The 4 pending spot ETFs from Grayscale, VanEck, 21Shares, and Canary Capital are waiting for the SEC's green light. And 424 whale wallets have accumulated 819 million of $ADA during the correction.

💣 BOMBSHELL:
$ADA repeats the same sequence as BTC and ETH before their spot ETFs: CME futures launched, SEC commodity classification active since March, and 4 active ETF applications. For BTC, the spot ETF was approved 6 months after the launch of CME futures. For ETH, it was 8 months later. CME launched ADA futures in 2026. Van Rossem arrives in June — the most ambitious technical upgrade in Cardano's history. And Moreno set the end of May as the deadline for the CLARITY Act. The sequence has never been this advanced.
