Cardano (ADA) Price Forecast: Could Reach $0.31 by December 31 After RealFi Launch

Anthropic's AI model Claude predicts Cardano (ADA) will reach $0.31 by December 31, 2026, a 26% increase from its current price, with the recent RealFi launch contributing $0.02 to the forecast. As of October 3, 2026, ADA trades around $0.25, down 4% in 24 hours, and remains 92% below its all-time high of $3.09. Claude bases its projection on ADA's 25% monthly gain, though it expects growth to moderate. Without RealFi's boost, the estimate would drop to $0.29. RealFi, launched October 1, aims to inject capital into business loans via its USDr stablecoin offering up to 9% annual yields. Claude sees a 25% chance of ADA reaching $0.40 by year-end, while a drop below $0.20 could erase recent gains.
