Decentralized launchpad BeLaunch has predicted the possible scenarios for Cardano by 2026 and how much 1,000 ADA would be worth at each instance.
Today, 1,000 ADA tokens cost $838, as Cardano exchanges hands at $0.8379 at the time of writing. But what would Cardano be worth by 2026? Launchpad account BeLaunch has provided insights into how high or low the altcoin could go.
Case for Cardano’s Trajectory
BeLaunch shared this in a Sunday tweet, as the market sends mixed signals. For context, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $125,559 on the day, pushing altcoins with it. However, the momentum did not hold, and ADA has followed BTC’s trend, dropping by 3.67% over the past 24 hours.
Nonetheless, BeLaunch believes that Cardano’s near-term trajectory remains bullish. It claimed this is so because the ADA ecosystem has been “quietly building” while others chase hype.
Notably, Cardano has been at the forefront of major innovation over the past year. From transitioning to a fully decentralized governance system in September 2024, to Hydra, and most recently, unlocking Bitcoin DeFi, the Cardano team has been relentless in embracing the technological shift in the rapidly growing crypto industry.
As a result, the BeLaunch team believes that these innovations would make holding Cardano worthwhile by 2026. In the analysis, they shared bullish and base cases for the ADA price by next year.
How Much 1,000 ADA Could Be Worth in 2026
For a base case, BeLaunch predicted that ADA would rally past the psychological $1 price mark to reach $1.90. Based on the current price, this would culminate in a 126.7% growth. It will also mean that 1,000 ADA would be equivalent to $1,900.
The team also projected a retest of its current all-time high of $3.1, attained in 2021, by next year. This represents a 270% increase from current prices. At this instance, 1,000 ADA would be worth an impressive $3,100.
Meanwhile, a bullish case would see Cardano rally to unprecedented prices. Specifically, the target is a rally between $5 and $6, marking a 496.7% and 616% rally, respectively. It would also mean that 1,000 ADA, worth less than $840 today, would be valued at $5,000 or $6,000.
Notably, the bull case scenario aligns with price targets from other analysts for Cardano this bull cycle. Top chartist Ali Martinez had predicted that ADA could potentially reach $6.25 this cycle, highlighting an early-stage formation similar to the one seen in the previous cycle.
Also, a separate analysis by Mr. Banana further highlighted that Cardano’s minimum target this cycle is $5. He urged users not to sell below the price mark, insisting they would not have fully realized ADA’s bullish potential if they did.
