Cardano (ADA) remains one of the most closely-watched altcoins, but recent price action and shifting market dynamics are raising questions about its ability to reclaim a top-10 position.
Cardano News: ADA Price Stable Amid Hoskinson’s Market Optimism
Cardano’s ADA token has been trading under pressure, slipping nearly 4% in the past 24 hours to $0.86 after a volatile weekend session. The price swung between $0.862 and $0.963 as macro headlines and crypto whale activity weighed on sentiment.

In a recent AMA , founder Charles Hoskinson optimistically predicted ADA’s long-term significance in the ecosystem. He mentioned the Midnight Network improvement, a data privacy effort, and September’s predicted Federal Reserve rate decrease as prospects for crypto markets.
Despite these encouraging developments, ADA’s market position remains under threat. With a current market valuation of $31.5 billion, Cardano sits just outside the top 10 rankings. The pressure is mounting as rivals Tron and Dogecoin hold firm at #9 and #10, respectively.
The Top 10 Race: Tron and Dogecoin Edge Ahead
The competition for the #9 to #11 spots is heating up:
- Tron (TRX) sits at a $33.3 billion market cap, trading around $0.36 and eyeing a potential breakout to $0.38 within two weeks. Technicals show resistance at $0.37, but volume remains strong.
- Dogecoin (DOGE) holds a $32.9 billion market cap, though it crashed over 5% this week after being rejected at $0.25. Heavy user transfers added selling pressure, including a 900 million DOGE move to Binance. Still, analysts like Javon Marks argue a 3x rally toward new highs above $0.73 is possible in the next bullish phase.
- Cardano (ADA) trails slightly at $31.5 billion market cap, highlighting just how tight the race is among these mid-tier giants. Analysts tip ADA for a year-end rally toward $3, especially if spot ETFs gain approval in October.

For now, Tron and Dogecoin keep ADA locked out of the top 10.
Why User Flow Is Moving Into Remittix (RTX)
As ADA holders reassess their positions, Remittix is emerging as a clear alternative for capital rotation. Unlike Cardano’s slower climb, RTX is building on real-world payments utility with tangible adoption drivers.
Its Q3 beta wallet launch on September 15 will introduce instant crypto-to-bank payouts across 30+ countries, staking features, and merchant API integration, offering immediate utility rather than future promises.
Momentum is further supported by a confirmed BitMart listing, a $250,000 community giveaway, and security backed by a CertiK audit. These developments position RTX as a payments-focused ecosystem with traction.
For ADA holders, many of whom are fatigued by Cardano’s slow grind, Remittix represents a chance to pivot into a project with exponential upside potential in a shorter time frame.
Can Remittix Join the Top 10 Race?
The question now being asked is whether RTX could realistically challenge for a place among the top 10 cryptos by market cap this cycle. With tight current rankings, Tron at $33.3 billion, Dogecoin at $32.9 billion, and Cardano at $31.5 billion, new entrants with fast adoption could disrupt the lineup.
Here’s why users believe Remittix has a shot:
- Small-cap advantage: RTX has room to for a scale of growth that legacy top 10 coins cannot replicate.
- Real-world use case: Cross-border payments remain a $19 trillion market, and Remittix is positioning directly in that lane.
- Utility rollout now, not later: The September beta wallet will demonstrate live utility, boosting credibility and adoption.
- Exchange traction: The BitMart listing provides early liquidity and visibility, paving the way for larger CEX exposure.
