Cardano's Copilot Prediction: ADA Could Hit $0.65 by End of 2026

Cardano's ADA token has been on a downward spiral since its all-time high of nearly $1, plummeting to around $0.18 over the past year.

A recent prediction by Microsoft's Copilot AI suggests that ADA could reach $0.65 by the end of 2026, with a bull range of $0.80 to $1.20.

The forecast is based on Cardano's infrastructure upgrades and potential adoption. The AI model has taken into account the recent hard fork, Protocol Version 11, which cut Plutus smart-contract costs and improved node security.

However, the prediction also comes with caveats. According to Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, 'the strategy needs to change,' a rare public concession after governance disputes and builder friction.

Large holders, or whales, have been buying up ADA in recent days, scooping up over 240 million ADA worth around $175 million. This accumulation of sizeable amounts of the token has lifted whale holdings to nearly 39% of supply.
