Over 1,200 businesses accept Cardano cryptocurrency (ADA) as payment, including well-known names like Airbnb, Amazon, Nike, and Starbucks. Through our partner EMURGO's platform, Bidali, users can buy vouchers with ADA for online shopping at these companies.

The Bitpanda Card enables payments with Cardano. Your ADA assets are converted into the required currency at the current market rate allowing you to pay with Cardano wherever Visa is accepted.

At present, approximately 35 billion ADA tokens are in circulation. The maximum quantity of ADA tokens is capped at 45 billion.

The primary advantage of the Cardano blockchain is its Proof of Stake validation system. 

This negates the need for the energy-intensive mining process over a Proof of Work blockchain, making Cardano significantly more efficient in energy and performance.

Cardano’s scientific development approach ensures high standards and security but can slow its progress compared to competitors.

Cardano seeks to address the most pressing issues plaguing this technology: scalability, interoperability, and sustainability. Due to its Proof of Stake process, Cardano is already considerably more sustainable than Bitcoin.

You can purchase Cardano either directly by buying ADA tokens or indirectly through financial products that mirror ADA's price. Indirect options include Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) or Contracts for Difference (CFDs). 

For direct purchases, use cryptocurrency exchanges or trading platforms like Bitpanda, offering various investment options, such as savings plans or indices. We also provide staking benefits enabling you to earn rewards of 3-5% for holding ADA tokens.
