#ADA Cardano "evaporated" 100% profit after the election: Will ADA remain in the top 10?
More than a year has passed since the election cycle sparked a strong bullish trend in the cryptocurrency market.
Despite the prolonged wave of FUD, compounded macroeconomic instability, and consecutive "flash crashes," most altcoins have remained resilient, preserving the gains achieved during the post-election rally. This indicates that long-term investors generally still hold significant unrealized profits.
However, Cardano (ADA) is a disappointing exception. After two quarters Q3 and Q4 immersed in red, ADA has plunged back to the price range of the beginning of the election cycle, erasing all gains for the year and returning to the critical technical zone around the support level of 0.30 USD.
This downward momentum has become more evident when looking at market capitalization. According to data from CoinMarketCap, just in 2025 alone, ADA's market cap has "evaporated" by approximately 25 billion USD, equivalent to a decline of 64%, pulling the total market value down to a mere 14 billion USD.
Notably, even Dogecoin (DOGE) – a memecoin famous for its strong volatility – only recorded a maximum decline of around 50% during the same period.
To put it bluntly, ADA's performance is even worse than that of a memecoin.
In this context, as the market capitalization gap between Cardano and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) narrows day by day, the big question arises: How long will ADA remain in the 10th position on the cryptocurrency ranking before being dethroned by BCH?
