| Coin | Token | Market cap | Rank |

Cryptocurrencies including ADA are highly volatile: prices can move sharply in either direction within hours, and past performance is not a guide to future returns. ADA is currently trading 93.03% below its all-time high of $3.095, reached on Sep 02, 2021.
Only an estimated 38.95B of the maximum 45.00B ADA supply is currently in circulation, so further issuance could dilute existing holders. A meaningful share of ADA's reported trading volume comes from lower-trust exchanges, so headline volume figures may overstate real, organic demand. This is not investment advice.
