Cardano's ADA tokens experienced a 33% surge in value over the past 24 hours, surpassing bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. This increase in value is attributed to founder Charles Hoskinson's announcement that he plans to assist in shaping U.S. crypto policy under the Trump administration. ADA's trading volumes also saw a significant increase, reaching $3.3 billion on Saturday compared to $300 million the day before. Additionally, open interest in ADA-denominated futures rose to 858 million ADA, indicating an influx of new money and expectations of higher volatility in the future.
