Cardano Joins Nasdaq Crypto Index, Boosting Institutional Exposure

Cardano has secured a significant boost to its institutional adoption as it was added to the Nasdaq Crypto U.S. Settlement Price Index (NCIUS). This move officially integrates Cardano into the index alongside other cryptocurrencies such as XRP, SOL, and XLM, marking a milestone for the network. The decision follows Nasdaq’s reconstitution of the index effective June 2nd, 2025, bringing increased visibility to Cardano within institutional investor circles, particularly in the U.S. market. This change strengthens Cardano’s position as institutions are increasingly looking towards diversified investment strategies.
