Are you ready for what’s coming with Cardano ($ADA) this month? Because Cardano’s about to shake up the crypto world this October. What if I told you there are four key reasons ADA could outperform every other coin next month? Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, you need to hear this before October hits.
ADA’s momentum isn’t just hype. In contrast, it’s backed by solid market catalysts and upcoming developments. These could skyrocket its value. So, stick with me, and I’ll break down exactly why Cardano might be the best bet you don’t want to ignore.
Stablecoin Staking on Cardano
The first key reason is that stablecoin staking is coming to Cardano. It’s launching stablecoin staking via a new protocol called Minataur. Our team at Altcoin Buzz discussed this back in April of this year.
But, as with many things on Cardano, things can take time. So, although it’s in the Cardano roadmap 2025, there’s no guarantee that it will arrive soon. Nonetheless, it’s a good development for anybody who uses Cardano. This will also boost Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem.
Staking stablecoins has a big benefit. It reduces volatility. With altcoins, you can experience volatility in their price action. On the other hand, stablecoins are a lot less volatile. And you can still unlock yield.
The Cardano Foundation recently launched its 2025 roadmap. In it, there are big plans to boost stablecoins, DeFi and RWA. One of its key points is to boost liquidity in stablecoin projects. This could be as high as an estimated 8-10 million $ADA.
The second step is to include the Stablecoin DeFi Liquidity Budget proposal. This Cardano treasury initiative plans to allocate 50 million $ADA to boost liquidity. It aims for stablecoins within Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem. This equals around $40.5 million.
A new governance action proposes 50M $ADA treasury injection to boost Cardano DeFi, focusing on stablecoin liquidity, DEXs, and lending protocols. 📈
It’d be managed by a 9-person treasury DAO.

So, overall, the stablecoin staking will help turbocharge Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem. It has the potential to, for instance,
- Lower fees.
- Increase liquidity pools.
- Drive user adoption over the next year.
As such, it’s a strategic move by Cardano. It allows for stablecoins to be a yield-generating, low-volatility asset within its ecosystem. In turn, this supports both stakeholders and broader DeFi growth.
The Senate Banking Committee Roundtable
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson confirmed that he joined the Senate Banking Committee’s roundtable. This took place on 17th September. The attendees discussed crypto market structure legislation.

— Cardanians (CRDN) (@Cardanians_io) September 17, 2025
This roundtable included top crypto industry leaders. For instance, from,
- Ripple
- a16z
- Kraken
- Coinbase
- Multicoin Capital
- Paradigm
- Circle
So, as you can see, an impressive list of attendees. This also provided a wide spectrum of perspectives to lawmakers. As already mentioned, the focus was on crypto market structure legislation. However, another agenda point was regulatory framework development for digital assets.
We know that Hoskinson already played a key role as a leading blockchain innovator. This allowed him to add his insights. These help shape clear, balanced, and effective U.S. crypto regulations. These protect consumers while also fostering innovation.
He publicly praised Ripple and a16z for their strong representation during the meeting. Furthermore, he also highlighted progress towards bipartisan legislation expected later in 2025.
Great meeting today. XRP nation, the ripple folks did really well as did A16Z. Lot more work to do, but great progress is being made on bipartisan legislation being passed this year
— Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) September 17, 2025
The crypto landscape keeps evolving. So, Hoskinson shows that he keeps a finger on the pulse of this ever-changing landscape. It underscored Cardano’s commitment to regulatory clarity and constructive industry-government collaboration.
Cardano ETF in 2025?
Next up is a Cardano or $ADA ETF. In a month’s time, the ETF approval jumped from 60%-75% to the current 95%. That’s what Polymarket currently predicts. Bloomberg experts now expect a 100% approval.
Honestly the odds are really 100% now. Generic listing standards make the 19b-4s and their “clock” meaningless. That just leaves the S-1s waiting for formal green light from Corp Finance. And they just submitted amendment #4 for Solana. The baby could come any day. Be ready. https://t.co/5JtfTm82Wi

However, things just heated up.
Yesterday, the SEC asked various ETF issuers to withdraw their 19b-4 applications. This includes Grayscale’s Cardano $ADA ETF. This has a final deadline on October 7, 2025. However, the final decision was delayed to October 26th by the SEC. Another $ADA ETF filing is also due for a final review on October 26th. This is Tuttle Capital’s Cardano ETF application.
CARDANO ETF UPDATE 🇺🇸
The SEC is reportedly asking ETF issuers, including Grayscale’s Cardano $ADA ETF, to withdraw their 19b-4 applications.
This comes after the SEC released the new Generic Listing Standards, which replace individual application reviews and make approvals… pic.twitter.com/4jTfwV2mjk
— Cardanians (CRDN) (@Cardanians_io) September 30, 2025
This shift is part of the SEC’s move to streamline approvals via generic listing standards. It reduces approval time from up to 240 days to about 75 days. Issuers can now rely on standard eligibility criteria instead of individual filings.

This expedites the entry of crypto ETFs into the market. This new generic listing standards replaced case-by-case reviews by the SEC. It offers eligibility criteria for faster ETF approvals.
In other words, with this new process, the Cardano $ADA ETF may see a faster approval. Even beating the original October 26 deadline. So, besides the $ADA filing, other filings were also withdrawn. For instance, the 19b-4 filings for Solana, XRP, Litecoin, and Dogecoin ETFs.
*Enormous* next few weeks for spot crypto ETFs…
SEC final deadlines approaching on numerous filings.
Starts this week w/ deadline on Canary spot ltc ETF.
Will be followed by decisions on sol, doge, xrp, ada, & hbar ETFs (though SEC can approve any or all of these whenever).

These withdrawals are procedural under the new system. They are not a rejection of the ETFs themselves. With this move by the SEC, you can expect a faster entry of crypto ETFs.
Franklin Templeton Runs a Cardano Node
My last point about Cardano is about running Cardano nodes. Running such a node means operating the node software. This connects to and interacts with the Cardano network. So, you contribute to its decentralized infrastructure. Among others, you validate transactions, and forward information to other nodes. It’s an important cornerstone of a crypto network.
REMINDER:
Franklin Templeton one of the world’s largest asset managers is running #Cardano nodes.
This isn’t just talk. Institutions this big don’t experiment for fun, they prepare for the future. 👀

— Mintern (@MinswapIntern) September 27, 2025
Now, Franklin Templeton is running such a Cardano node. If this comes as a surprise to you, I can’t blame you. After all, Franklin Templeton is one of the world’s largest asset managers. It has $1.6 trillion in assets under management.
So, actively operating a Cardano node sends a strong signal. It shows institutional trust and commitment to Cardano’s blockchain technology. It’s a major vote of confidence in Cardano’s smart contract platform. This positions $ADA and Cardano as a serious contender for institutional adoption.
BREAKING:
Franklin Templeton, managing over $1.5T—is running Cardano $ADA nodes.
Now, their CEO has met with Cardano Foundation’s Frederik Gregaard.

It brings TradFi and blockchain tech one step closer to each other. Franklin Templeton’s engagement can attract more institutional investors. It can also boost $ADA’s market legitimacy, possibly driving positive price momentum.
So, what do you think of Cardano and $ADA after hearing me out today? Can you see why $ADA could be one of the leading altcoins in October? Let me know your thoughts on this in the comments. Also make sure to follow our X and Discord social media channels.
