The Cardano price has jumped more than 7% in the past 24 hours to around $0.20, extending its weekly rally as traders respond to a series of network upgrades.

According to Intersect, development of Cardano's next major protocol phase, the Dijkstra era, has officially started following the successful activation of the Van Rossem hard fork on July 18.
