The price of Cardano has jumped by 3.5% in the past 24 hours, with its move to $0.3591 coming as the cryptocurrency market gains by 1.5% today.
ADA is now up by 1% in a week and 12% in a fortnight, with this week also bringing the news that Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson will be speaking at a tech conference in Argentina in October.
Also speaking at the event will be Argentina’s President, Javier Milei, with Hoskinson revealing that he expects to speak directly with Milei on the subject of how cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology could transform the global economic and political landscape.
While this offers no indication that the Argentinian government could directly adopt Cardano in any capacity, the event comes at a time when Cardano has been signing deals with provinces in the country, raising its status as a layer-one blockchain with strong fundamentals.
Officially, the only announcement we have related to Milei and Hosksinson is that both will be attending the Tech Forum Argentina event on October 19.
Milei will be the main speaker at the event, while Hoskinson will be a keynote speaker.
I spy with my little eye, a president and a founder who’ll speak up high.
