# ADA-USD Research Summary — As of 3 August 2026

## Current Price & Market Snapshot

As of 3 August 2026, ADA is trading at approximately **$0.1646**, with 24-hour volume down roughly 54.81% [[3]](https://www.spotedcrypto.com/cardano-van-rossem-fork-july-2026/). This represents a **five-year low** [[21]](https://www.spotedcrypto.com/ada-five-year-low-2026-bull-bear-case/), a dramatic decline from the $0.65–$0.90 range reported in early 2026 [[9]](https://wealthiq.co/cardano-ada-price-prediction-2026-bull-case-and-bear-case/) and far below its all-time high of ~$3.10 set in 2021 [[9]](https://wealthiq.co/cardano-ada-price-prediction-2026-bull-case-and-bear-case/). The price collapse throughout 2026 has been severe, suggesting that earlier base-case predictions of $0.24–$0.30 for mid-2026 [[4]](https://www.mexc.com/learn/article/cardano-price-prediction-july-2026-will-ada-hold-0-24-before-its-next-hard-fork-/1) have not materialized.
