In the third quarter of 2025, Cardano (ADA) faces a critical node that needs to balance its research-driven blockchain foundation with slow real-world applications. Although Vasil hard forks improve scalability and smart contract efficiency, only 59 active dApps are currently running on the network. The platform is turning to Bitcoin DeFi to take advantage of Bitcoin’s $1.3 trillion liquidity, while its Hydra Layer-2 solution is committed to achieving near-zero fees and high throughput. However, challenges such as low governance engagement and competition from Ethereum and Solana remain.
