In a bold and controversial social media proclamation, prominent Bitcoiner Eric Wall has stirred the ADA community by forecasting Cardano's exit from the top 10 cryptocurrencies by the end of 2024. Wall, renowned for his insights within crypto circles, particularly ignited a firestorm by suggesting that Polygon's token, MATIC, will swoop in to claim ADA's coveted position.
This audacious prediction rekindled memories of Wall's earlier inaccurate forecasts in late 2021 and early 2023. Cardano loyalists were swift to remind him of his past missteps, leaving the expert to face the heat of skepticism.

Presently, ADA stands strong in eighth place on CoinMarketCap with a market capitalization of $18.82 billion. Cardano maintains a comfortable lead over its closest contenders, with Avalanche (AVAX) trailing by $5 billion and USDC maintaining an $8 billion lead.
Eric Wall's 2024 vision
