(Cryptoglobe) Cardano surged past the $3 level to a fresh all-time high, just five hours after its public testnet started supporting Plutus smart contracts.
The surge happened after IOHK, the blockchain technology for Cardano protocol, announced the development following the Alonzo hard fork event.
Cardano dominated TV discussions, with the French TV and CNBC featuring the crypto token, with fans such as NFT artist Emma Lim referring to it as the best crypto project.
Investors are now keeping a tab on the mainnet upgrade scheduled for September 12.
ADAUSD is up +5.60%
