Cardano processed exactly 1,780,896 transactions in the five days between 6 and 11 October 2026. The chain has never moved more in its history; the previous high, from November 2021, sits 13.7 percent below it. The Cardano price has not responded: ADA stands at around $0.2384, about 5.3 percent below where it was 24 hours earlier.
Most reports name the Cardano governance votes as the cause, above all the proposal for a minimum fee of 75 ADA for stake pools. That explanation does not add up arithmetically.

The figures in this article rest on the public block data of the Cardano chain itself, analysed across all 662 epochs since the chain launched, and on the full list of votes on the proposal in question. cryptoticker.io compiled this analysis itself on 12 October 2026.
