πŸ“± Vespr Wallet Surpasses 1M ADA in $NIGHT In-App Trading Volume

Vespr Wallet has surpassed 1 million ADA in trading volume for $NIGHT, executed directly inside the app, with 95 percent of orders being buys. This milestone highlights growing retail demand and smooth access to Cardano-native assets without relying on external platforms.

What stands out is the user behavior. Users are actively trading within a self-custodial wallet environment. This positions Vespr as a real consumer-facing gateway for Cardano-native liquidity and DeFi activity.

The strong buy-side dominance points to organic demand rather than short-term speculation. Combined with in-app execution, it shows how liquidity on Cardano is increasingly forming at the wallet level, lowering friction and improving the onboarding experience for new users.

πŸ” Fireblocks Begins Full Cardano Integration

Fireblocks has officially started its full integration of Cardano, building dedicated SDKs and tooling for $ADA and Cardano Native Tokens. This allows banks, fintechs, and enterprise platforms to interact with Cardano using infrastructure already trusted across institutional finance.

Fireblocks secures transaction flows for major exchanges, funds, and payment providers worldwide. By integrating Cardano directly into its stack, institutions gain access to custody, transfers, and token operations without the need for custom-built solutions.

This dramatically reduces onboarding friction for regulated players. Instead of adapting Cardano to legacy systems, Cardano fits seamlessly into enterprise workflows, accelerating adoption and reinforcing its position as an enterprise-ready blockchain.

πŸ“Š Pyth Lazer Oracle to Be Integrated into Cardano

PENTAD has announced the first tier-one integration under the Critical Integrations governance action: Pyth Lazer is coming to Cardano.

Pyth delivers institutional-grade market data across crypto, equities, FX, commodities, and ETFs, sourced directly from professional market participants. The Lazer product focuses on ultra-low latency and high-frequency data delivery.

This significantly expands the design space for Cardano builders. Reliable, high-quality price feeds are essential for advanced DeFi, derivatives, RWAs, and structured products. With Pyth integrated, Cardano gains access to the same data standards used in professional financial markets.
