What CoinGraph said about cardano, exactly as issued.

Issued 2026-11-01 00:16:35 UTC · id run_82fc6b9b4e1e244487e8

B

Cardano (ADA) receives an overall grade of B, and the current check verdict is proceed. Liquidity is the main strength: $53.3M is available within 2% of the price across 25 exchange markets, though CoinGecko rates none as trustworthy. Daily volume is $133.9M, 1.8% of market cap. Supply is 83.5% issued; the unlock schedule is unassessed. As a native coin, there is no token contract to review. Derivatives look balanced (crowding 18/100). Onchain activity is weak (D), with 89 transfers in 24h, and developer activity is not tracked. No red flags.
