📊 Blockworks Integrates Cardano On-Chain Data and Analytics

Blockworks ,a crypto media and research platform known for its in-depth on-chain analytics dashboards ,integrated Cardano $ADA on-chain data, announced by co-founder Jason Yanowitz. The integration adds Cardano to Blockworks' research and analytics coverage, placing it alongside the other major networks the platform tracks.

The dataset also puts a hard number on Cardano's reliability: the network processed 119.4M+ transactions between August 2020 and June 2026 with a 99.9999% success rate ,only 119 failed transactions across nearly six years of operation.

Broader analytics coverage from a well-followed research firm makes it easier for researchers, funds and institutions to track real activity across the ecosystem ,another quiet step in #Cardano's move from crypto-native attention toward institutional-grade visibility for $ADA.

🛠️ TxPipe Ships Tx3, one Spec, Auto-Generated SDKs in Four Languages

TxPipe published “Authoring a Protocol with Tx3: From Zero to SDK.” Tx3 is an interface-description language for UTxO-based protocols focused on Cardano: a protocol author writes a single spec declaring what the protocol exposes, and consumers read that spec to generate typed clients that build the transactions it accepts.

From one verified interface definition, the framework produces documentation, auto-generated SDKs in TypeScript, Rust, Go and Python, and live JSON-RPC endpoints. Through Catalyst Fund 14, TxPipe already has five protocols live on tx3.land ,Strike Finance, Indigo Protocol, VyFinance, Bodega Market and FluidTokens.

Distinct from TxPipe's earlier tooling like Dolos and Pallas, Tx3 targets the protocol-authoring layer itself, collapsing one of the harder parts of building on #Cardano. Leaner, spec-driven tooling makes the ecosystem more approachable for new builders and AI coding agents alike ,the kind of plumbing that compounds into more apps on $ADA.

🏛️ Deutsche Börse's Clearstream Adds $ADA to Regulated Crypto Custody

Clearstream ,the post-trade services subsidiary of Deutsche Börse Group ,expanded its digital-asset custody offering to include Cardano $ADA, alongside XRP, Solana, Litecoin, Stellar and Avalanche. The six tokens join Bitcoin and Ether, already in custody.

Custody is handled through Crypto Finance, another Deutsche Börse Group company that holds a MiCAR license to provide regulated crypto services across Europe. Clearstream said it selected these assets based on institutional client demand and MiCA compliance.

The move lets European financial institutions hold $ADA within a fully regulated framework, without relying on offshore depositaries. For a network that has long emphasized compliance and durable adoption, gaining a foothold inside one of Europe's largest post-trade infrastructures is a meaningful, non-speculative signal of institutional access maturing around #Cardano.
