Cardano (ADA), once ranked third in crypto rankings during the 2021 bull cycle, is currently 11th after Tron (TRX). Tron currently has a market cap of $12.04 billion, while Cardano’s market cap sits at $11.89 billion.

This comes amid a marketwide correction that has seen most cryptocurrencies drop below key support levels. Bitcoin (BTC), the largest crypto by market capitalization, led the drop by losing 11% and 2.5% over the last 30 days and 24 hours.


The drop in ADA’s position can be attributed to current market dynamics, which are fueled by various factors, including market trends, investor sentiment, and overall market conditions.
