Cardano Card launch, rising on-chain activity and bullish ADA chart pattern highlight fresh network utility beyond price moves today.
As Cardano posts new ecosystem milestones, the network is seeing higher activity and fresh technical signals. The Cardano Card launch, rising address metrics and a falling-wedge setup shape the latest overview.
EMURGO and digital payments firm Wirex have launched the first “Cardano Card” at the Cardano Summit 2025, introducing an ADA-branded multi-chain crypto card inside the Wirex app for users in supported markets.
The card is integrated natively in the Wirex app and becomes available to more than six million Wirex customers across 130 countries, allowing them to spend ADA alongside other cryptocurrencies and stablecoins wherever Visa is accepted. Attendees at the Berlin summit are the first to see physical plastic and metal versions and can register for virtual cards at an on-site booth.

Cardano Card users can pay online and in stores with over 685 supported digital assets, including ADA, Bitcoin, Ether and USDC. They also gain access to Wirex features such as crypto cashback on purchases, referral rewards, ATM use and foreign exchange services. A portion of profits from the product is intended for the Cardano Treasury, according to the announcement.
The partners plan a second phase in 2026 that will introduce a non-custodial version of the Cardano Card. That product is expected to offer similar functions — including yield, borrowing and lending tools for ADA and other assets — while keeping users in control of their private keys.
Wirex says it has processed about $20 billion in crypto transactions and supports more than 150 traditional and digital assets. The companies cite industry estimates of over 820 million active wallets and roughly 31 million crypto wallets already used for day-to-day payments as a sign that there is room for further card-based spending of digital assets.
In Q3 2025, the Cardano network recorded a 19.2% increase quarter-on-quarter in average daily active addresses. At the same time, daily transactions rose by 15.7%.

The report shows sustained growth in user engagement. As the number of unique addresses interacting on-chain climbed, the transaction count followed suit. This signals deeper participation rather than just price-driven activity.
Moreover, the rise in active addresses and transactions comes amid other ecosystem gains such as a 28.7% increase in DeFi total value locked and a market cap rise of 42.5%.
Meanwhile, technical analyst The DApp Analyst reports that Cardano’s ADA daily relative strength index has reset to the same zone seen in July, when the token later gained about 97% over 54 days. The new RSI trough appears after a steady pullback, with ADA still trading below key moving averages on the daily chart.

At the same time, his chart shows a falling wedge pattern on the daily timeframe, with price moving between two converging downward trendlines. The setup places ADA near the middle of the structure while RSI turns higher from low levels, hinting that selling pressure may be easing.
The DApp Analyst presents the pattern as a work in progress and asks followers what they expect next. Traders watching this view will likely track whether ADA can close above the upper wedge boundary or instead drift back toward the lower line, which would weaken the bullish case.
