The crypto market is seeing a dramatic shift in sentiment. Despite IOHK and Cardano’s giant stumbles with governance and ecosystem upgrades, Cardano price is still stuck in a narrow channel, and long-term ADA holders are jumping ship.

Traders who’ve waited through sideways months are redeploying into a fresher story with outsized upside: Layer Brett, an Ethereum L2 that’s turning presale momentum into a full-stack meme and consumer-app runway.

It’s been a bittersweet experience for Cardano holders for months. Years of groundbreaking innovation and governance were shipped, but Cardano price is still bearish.

Cardano price sits near $0.835 after a sharp weekly pullback and an 18% slide from the five-month peak at $1.02. The chart keeps rejecting $0.85–$0.91, and $0.82 is the line bulls must defend. 

However, zooming out, the fundamentals look far better. Cardano has formalized a constitutional committee with no founding entities seated, pushing decision-making fully to the community.

Meanwhile, an ADA ETF now carries high approval odds and would funnel new institutional flows into the asset.

On the engineering track, Ouroboros Leios targets a step-change in throughput via parallelism and sharding, with testnet work staged toward the end of 2025.

A credible path to $5–$10 exists under bullish cycle assumptions, with blue-sky talk stretching to $15. Until then, traders forced to mark P&L weekly are voting with allocation.

They’re not abandoning Cardano’s thesis; they’re renting higher beta while ADA consolidates.

As this fatigue sets in for Cardano price, attention has shifted sharply toward Layer Brett (LBRETT).

This new entrant blends the cultural firepower of meme coins with the scalability of Ethereum’s Layer 2 ecosystem.

LBRETT’s rollup architecture is designed to handle transactions faster and cheaper than the base chain, opening doors for real-world use cases in gaming, NFTs, and decentralized finance. 

When it comes to utility, that’s just the tip! Layer Brett offers a once-in-a-lifetime four-figure staking opportunity for investors to earn yield simply by holding and securing the network.

Beyond this, LBRETT integrates community-driven governance for meme enthusiasts to make decisions and transform meme’s speculative nature to a lasting, utility-driven ecosystem.

And the stats back up LBRETT’s audacious claims. The project has raised close to $3 million in just weeks, which signals growing investor conviction.

Unlike ADA, where institutional catalysts such as ETFs may take months to resolve, LBRETT’s momentum is unfolding in real time.

For many ADA holders, the opportunity cost of waiting has become too high. Markets reward momentum, and right now, that momentum belongs to Layer Brett. Its ongoing presale is all the proof investors need.

With its presale already nearing $3 million and a roadmap that marries meme culture with real utility, LBRETT has positioned itself as more than just another speculative play. 

The skyrocketing demand has even pushed the price 32% to $0.0053.

Retail traders, influencers, and even early-stage whales are crowding in, hoping to snap up LBRETT tokens before analysts’ 100x prediction materializes.

Layer Brett is still in presale, but it won’t be forever. Get in now before prices rise and rewards drop.
