⚈ ADA also beat Bitcoin and Ethereum, despite recent rallies in both assets ⚈ Only XRP outpaced Cardano among major cryptos, with a 320.92% yearly gain Thanks to a 9.05% 24-hour rally to $0.79, Cardano’s (ADA) price performance finally matches the activity explosion on its blockchain that saw a surge in active addresses and smart contracts in 2025. Despite the reputation Cardano’s middling fortunes in the cryptocurrency market have given ADA, the token has significantly outperformed the majority of the most popular investments in the equity markets over the last 12 months. Cardano outperformed most popular stocks in the last year Between May 9, 2024, and May 9, 2025, Cardano rallied 71.39% from $0.46 to $0.79. Within the same time frame, one of the most popular stocks in the world, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), rose 32.25% to $117.37. ADA has also outperformed the two other contenders for the spot of the biggest company in the world by market capitalization: Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). In the last 12 months, MSFT stock rallied 6.42% to $438.78, and AAPL shares climbed 7.33% to $198.09. Interestingly, the best-performing popular firm relative to Cardano’s 52-week rally proved to be Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), despite TSLA shares’ sharp drop in 2025 and the electric vehicle (EV) maker’s abysmal sales in the first quarter (Q1) of the year. Elon Musk’s car company rose 66.88% in the last year—almost as much as Cardano—and is, at press time, changing hands at $286.99. ADA beats most major digital assets in the crypto market Perhaps surprisingly, given the relative lack of interest in ADA in recent months and the fact that the token’s latest rally came as part of a wider digital assets uptrend, it also outperformed many of its biggest peers. Despite Bitcoin (BTC) soaring above $100,000 in the last 24 hours, its 12-month rise came slightly short of Cardano’s as it amounted to 63.60%. The comparison with Ethereum (ETH) is even more lopsided, even once the latest 26% one-day rally is accounted for, as ETH is, in fact, 22.73% down since May 9, 2024. XRP is, on the other hand, one of the few popular assets that decisively outperformed ADA in the 12-month time frame. Its powerful rally on Donald Trump’s re-election ensured it is 320.92% in the green in the last 52 weeks.
