Grayscale Seeks SEC Approval for Spot Cardano ETF
![](https://coin2049.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/bic_Cardano-covers_ADA_neutral_1.png.webp.webp)
Grayscale, through NYSE Arca, has submitted a filing under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 to introduce a spot Cardano exchange-traded fund (ETF).
This filing stands out from previous ones, representing a direct ETF launch rather than a conversion. Grayscale has not yet offered a standalone investment product for ADA, marking a new chapter in its investment offerings.
Grayscale Files For Cardano ETF
The exchange submitted the 19b-4 filing to the SEC on February 10. The proposed ETF aims to offer investors regulated exposure to Cardano. Moreover, if approved, the shares will be listed under the ticker symbol “GADA.”
“While an investment in the Shares is not a direct investment in ADA, the Shares are designed to provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to gain investment exposure to ADA,” the filing stated.
Grayscale’s proposed fund would mark the debut of a US spot ETF for Cardano. This filing comes after Tuttle Capital Management submitted a request for ten leveraged crypto ETFs featuring an ADA fund.
“First one in US and ballpark 60th crypto ETF filed this year so far,” Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst, Eric Balchunas, posted on X (formerly Twitter).
In addition to Cardano, Grayscale has also filed to convert other existing trusts into spot ETFs, including those for Solana (SOL), XRP (XRP), and Dogecoin (DOGE). Nonetheless, the application faces regulatory challenges.
The SEC previously categorized Cardano as a security in its lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase, alongside XRP and Solana. These legal obstacles could delay approval, as seen with other altcoin-based ETFs.
That said, recent developments suggest a potential shift in the regulatory stance. Last week, the SEC officially acknowledged the 19b-4 filing for the Grayscale Solana ETF. This move has led analysts to speculate that it could set a positive precedent for other altcoin ETFs, including those for XRP and ADA.
The filing comes after Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Balchunas outlined the odds for altcoin ETF approvals. According to their analysis, Litecoin (LTC) has a 90% chance of securing an ETF approval. Furthermore, DOGE stands at 75%, SOL is at 70%, and XRP is at 65%. Yet, how things will fare for ADA remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, after the news broke, ADA surged by 9.3% on the 24-hour chart. In daily gains, it even outperformed Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP.

Notably, this rise followed a period of losses. Over the past week, it was down by 4.7%. Furthermore, the last month was also bearish for the altcoin as it dipped by 26.3%. At the time of writing, ADA was trading at $0.75.

ADA Aims For $0.8119 As Confidence Grows
![](https://coin2049.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Cardano-from-Medium.jpg)
Cardano is showing renewed strength as bullish momentum builds, driving ADA closer to the $0.8119 resistance level. After steady accumulation, buyers are beginning to take control, pushing the price higher and reinforcing optimism in the market. This growing confidence suggests that ADA could be on the verge of a significant breakout, provided it can overcome key resistance zones.
With technical indicators turning positive and market sentiment improving, all eyes are on whether ADA can sustain its upward momentum. A decisive move past $0.8119 may pave the way for further gains, while failure to break through might invite renewed selling pressure. As the battle between bulls and bears intensifies, the coming sessions will be crucial in determining Cardano’s next move.
Technical Analysis: Can ADA Sustain Its Upside Trajectory?
Presently, Cardano is exhibiting strong bullish momentum as it steadily climbs toward the $0.8119 resistance level, a barrier crucial for its next major move. After facing a strong rebound at the $0.6822 support mark, buying pressure has increased, pushing ADA higher as market sentiment turns optimistic. but the sustainability of this uptrend depends on key technical factors.

It is worth noting that ADA’s price steadily rises toward the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), a critical level that often acts as a dynamic resistance. A successful break above this indicator could reinforce positive sentiment and pave the way for extended gains.
![Cardano](https://www.newsbtc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-11-at-5.49.53-AM.jpeg?w=860&resize=860%2C382)
Supporting this momentum, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has recently crossed above the 50% threshold, indicating a shift from bearish to bullish market conditions. This is a significant development, as an RSI above 50% typically suggests that buying pressure outweighs selling pressure, triggering further upside potential.
Additionally, ADA’s trading volume has surged by over 10% in the last 24 hours, indicating growing market activity and increased investor interest. This uptick in volume suggests that traders are becoming more engaged, possibly fueling price movements.
As long as the RSI remains on an upward trajectory and buying pressure continues to rise alongside volume, it might strengthen ADA’s bullish outlook, increasing the likelihood of a breakout above key resistance levels.
What’s Next For Cardano? Predictions Beyond $0.8119
As Cardano continues its upward trajectory, breaking through the $0.8119 resistance level has become a focal point. But what lies beyond this key milestone?
Related Reading
If buyers maintain control and push the price above this key barrier, ADA is likely to see an extended rally toward $0.8306 and $0.9077 in the near term. A decisive move above these levels can strengthen upward performances, opening the door for a test of $1.2630, a psychological milestone.
However, if Cardano struggles to surpass $0.8119, it may enter a consolidation phase or experience a pullback, with $0.6822 as the next closest support level. The bulls must hold this zone to prevent further bearish pressure. Furthermore, a break below this level could signal an extended correction, exposing ADA to deeper losses.

Breakout Signals Potential for $1.05
![](https://coin2049.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/bic_Memecoin_MEME-covers-positive.jpg.optimal.jpg)
Solana-based meme coin Fartcoin has been the market’s top performer over the past 24 hours, surging by 30% and outperforming major cryptocurrencies. The rally comes as the broader market posts a modest 2% rebound following the recent decline.
The meme coin has broken above a descending trendline that previously kept its price in a downtrend. This breakout signals a potential shift in momentum.
Fartcoin Breaks Above Bearish Trend Line
FARTCOIN’s double-digit price surge has pushed it above a descending trendline that previously kept its price in a downtrend. This bearish pattern emerged as traders began to take profit after the token climbed to an all-time high of $2.74 on January 19.
![FARTCOIN Descending Trend Line](https://beincrypto.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/FARTCOINUSDT_2025-02-11_09-17-21.png)
However, the resurgence in FARTCOIN’s demand and the resulting break above this trend line marks a bullish shift in the market trend.
When an asset breaks above a descending trendline, it signals a potential trend reversal from bearish to bullish. This indicates that the selling pressure is weakening, and buyers are gaining control. This breakout suggests that FARTCOIN may continue upward if demand remains strong.
FARTCOIN’s surging open interest also suggests increasing trader confidence, reinforcing the bullish outlook. At press time, it is at $221 million, noting a 28% spike over the past 24 hours.
![FARTCOIN Open Interest.](https://beincrypto.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Screenshot-2025-02-11-at-07.56.18.png)
Open interest measures the total number of active futures or options contracts that have not been closed or settled. Spikes in open interest during a price rally like this indicate strong market participation, with new capital entering trades. It suggests a sustained momentum and hints at the potential for further price gains.
FARTCOIN Price Prediction: Will It Hit $1.05 or Fall Back to $0.40?
A sustained rally above the breakout line could propel FARTCOIN to new heights. However, the buying momentum must also be sustained for this to happen.
The meme coin could rally back above the $1 price zone to trade at $1.05 in this scenario.
![FARTCOIN Price Analysis.](https://beincrypto.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/FARTCOINUSDT_2025-02-11_07-58-00.png)
However, if profit-taking commences, this bullish outlook will be invalidated. The token’s price could fall below the descending trend line to trade at $0.40 in this case
