Trending Cardano news shows the blockchain has achieved a new milestone in staking innovation. A Cardano influencer and enthusiast celebrated the rapid growth of “Diffusion,” the first “Staking Basket” on the blockchain.
The Cardano Foundation also highlighted the blockchain’s timely alignment with emerging EU regulations. These developments now raise hope for a future ADA price rally following the recent market crash.
Cardano News: Diffusion Locks 633,000 ADA Crypto in TVL
Big Pey, a Cardano content creator on X, noted that Diffusion has attracted a total of 633,000 ADA in value locked (TVL), spread across 50 community-selected stake pools.
Diffusion, developed by Atrium Lab in collaboration with partners like MLabs, aims to make staking more decentralized, user-friendly, and rewarding.
The innovation allows ADA holders to delegate their stake across multiple stake pools in a single transaction via smart contracts.
Big Pey highlighted key features of Diffusion, which align with Cardano ecosystem updates.
Diffusion helps to mitigate risk, thus increasing reliability. For instance, if one pool experiences underperformance, the impact on overall rewards is minimal since ADA is split across 50 pools.
In addition, users can average out rewards to support small pools without sacrificing ADA. This promotes Cardano’s decentralization goals.
Another key feature is that Diffusion enables simultaneous delegation to up to 50 different Delegated Representatives (dReps).
Notably, the 50 SPOs in Diffusion were selected through a Cardano community vote in early 2025, with ADA holdings serving as the voting power.
In addition to standard ADA crypto staking rewards, users earn ATMA tokens, a native to the Atrium ecosystem.
Users can utilize ATMA tokens within Atrium to promote projects, enhance visibility, or earn additional rewards.
Furthermore, in jurisdictions where staking rewards are taxed as income each epoch, Diffusion could reduce the frequency of taxable events.
Cardano Pivots to Regulatory EU Tech
In addition to the staking milestone, Cardano has garnered attention in emerging EU regulations.
Cardano Foundation (CF) announced in an X post that Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are now a mandatory EU requirement.
Notably, DPPs are digital records attached to physical products. It functions like a passport that tracks the entire lifecycle of an item, from raw material sourcing and manufacturing to distribution, use, recycling, and disposal.
The goal is to enhance transparency, minimize waste, combat greenwashing, and promote the EU’s circular economy.
CF, therefore, highlighted a timely alignment between EU regulations and Cardano’s blockchain capabilities.
It showcases Cardano as a real-world utility platform with a focus on sustainability and compliance.
As highlighted by CF, the Cardano blockchain serves as the “public infrastructure” for Digital Product Passports.
These products utilize Cardano’s immutable ledger to create verifiable, tamper-proof records, eliminating the need for centralized databases.
Every supply chain event is timestamped on-chain via smart contracts, ensuring seamless transfers between parties.
Will ADA Price Skyrocket to Pre-Crash Levels?
ADA price dropped below $0.40 during the broader market crash on October 10. The crash resulted in more than $19 billion in total market liquidations.
Amid a broader market bounce on Sunday, October 12, ADA quickly established a solid support level around $0.66.
This support has helped push the ADA price to $0.70, as of the time of writing. Over the past 24 hours, ADA has jumped 9.9%, while trading volume has increased by 40.7% to $1.96 billion.
With retail investors’ sentiment now high, combined with positive ecosystem development, the ADA price could easily reclaim previous highs.
Analysts have even predicted $1.3 as the next target for ADA. They cited Bitcoin’s robust performance and formation of a strong double bottom pattern as key factors to fuel the ADA future rally.
