Cardano’s latest technical achievements have awakened the attention of blockchain developers, although the market participants remain careful because the ADA price does not reflect the goals. According to a recently published report, which we pointed out in an earlier contribution, Bitcoinos has completed the first successful two-way bridge between Bitcoin and Cardano, which enables the movement of a BTC token to Cardanos Blockchain and back to the Bitcintetz.
BOSes – we did it.
On May 4 2025, we successfully demoed the first *bridgeless* transfer of BTC between Bitcoin and Cardano mainnet.

Here’s what happened.

This development could pave the way for a broader integration of Bitcoin liquidity into the decentralized financial applications of Cardano. Nevertheless, ADA was still under pressure and moved by $ 0.65 in early Tuesday, burdened by a general macroeconomic headwind.
The test with Bitcoinos is an important development in blockchain interoperability, which has long been a hurdle for the development of crisschain liquidity and decentralized applications. The demonstration in which a Bitcoin sent to Cardano and without any problems to the Bitcoinchain was returnedunderlines the growing ability of Cardano to support MultiChain Defi functionality.
The impact lies in the possible positioning of Cardano as Bitcoin-Sidechain, which enables developers to develop applications that use Bitcoin’s liquidity in a safe, verifiable environment. Despite the successful bridge test, the news did not trigger an immediate course rally. Ada remained in a downward trend, which reflects the general risk aversion on the cryptoma markets.
Cardano’s positive development comes at a time when the markets are preparing for an important week. The US Federal Reserve will publish new guidelines on Wednesday. Investors adapt to the fact that they may be an aggressive tone, especially if the inflation risks last. This scenario would be unfavorable for risk systems, including cryptocurrencies.
At the same time, geopolitical tensions continue to influence market behavior. The trade relationships between the USA and China are still a main concern. President Trump’s statements that tariffs could remain into force for several years have increased uncertainty. This macroeconomic pressure has contributed to the fact that the ADA course has fallen by more than 10% since its highest at the end of April.
The technical signals for ADA have turned into negative, since the token is now traded under its sliding 21 and 50-day average. Analysts warn of a possible renewed test of support in the range of $ 0.5, provided that the general mood does not improve.
Despite short -term volatility, Cardano continues to expand its network and focuses on scalability, security and decentralization. The Bitcoin Bridge test was a successful first step to compatible Bitcoin liquidity with cardano apps and to provide developers and users with additional tools.
Midnight, a data protection protocol and identity solutions for aspiring markets, are part of Cardanos Roadmap. These are slowly developing, but are methodical. Popular market commentators point out that the weak performance of ADA could offer long -term accumulation options compared to competitors such as Ethereum and Solana.

If the Crisschain-Defi gains tensile force, Bitcoin-related applications could also do this to improve Cardano’s promises. The Bridge does not matter to the market at the moment, but it will prove its importance if the economy improves again.
