About the cardano price
ADA is the native coin of Cardano, a proof-of-stake smart-contract blockchain launched in 2017, with a maximum supply of 45 billion ADA. The live price is published only when two independent feeds agree (TradingView's real-time exchange price, Yahoo Finance and CNBC's Coin Metrics reference rate). Crypto trades around the clock, so the daily change and the history use the close at midnight UTC.
