He also pledged to create a pro-crypto Bitcoin and crypto presidential advisory council.

Cardano’s development is backed by three companies: IOHK, a blockchain R&D company founded by Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Wood; the Cardano Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to Cardano adoption and development; and Emurgo, a venture capital firm based in Japan.
Identifying itself as a third-generation blockchain and cryptocurrency system following Bitcoin and Ethereum, Cardano’s development is quite different from its competitors in that it is heavily informed by theoretical, peer-reviewed research before implementation in software.
Cardano (ADA) is starting to regain the spotlight as market sentiment turns increasingly bullish. Investors are looking at the possibility of ADA revisiting its all-time high of $3.10, a level last seen in September 2021. With ADA currently trading at approximately $0.728, the cryptocurrency remains about 71% below its all-time high of $3.10 reached in September 2021.
One indicator supporting this is the outflow of ADA seen from centralized exchanges. Data from CoinGlass reveals that over $932 million worth of ADA was withdrawn from exchanges in 2025 alone. This points to an increase in investors’ confidence in ADA.

Additionally, the task force will engage with a broad spectrum of stakeholders—including investors, academics, and industry leaders—in an effort to foster an environment that balances investor protection, market integrity, and innovation, Peirce is quoted as saying in the announcement.
“To date, the SEC has relied primarily on enforcement actions to regulate crypto retroactively and reactively, often adopting novel and untested legal interpretations along the way,” the agency said in announcing the task force. “Clarity regarding who must register, and practical solutions for those seeking to register, have been elusive.”
A spot bitcoin or ether (ETH) ETF directly holds the underlying cryptocurrency, providing investors with direct exposure to the spot price. Spot ETFs are desirable because they are a more direct and lower-cost way to invest in cryptocurrencies, eliminating the complexities of investing in futures-based products. In addition, spot ETFs make it easier for institutional and retail investors to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies through their traditional brokerage accounts.
So, once the SEC determines a cryptocurrency or token is a security and falls under its regulatory purview, this has far-reaching implications. The issuer must then follow SEC regulations that come with extensive reporting and transparency requirements.
The Task Force will operate within the statutory framework provided by Congress and will coordinate the provision of technical assistance to Congress as it makes changes to that framework.
