- Crypto influencer Alex Becker, once critical of Cardano, now predicts ADA could soar to $5, citing its strong fundamentals and undervaluation.
- He’s shifted major portfolio funds from Solana into Cardano, calling it a top contender for massive gains this cycle.
In a dramatic twist that’s sending ripples through the crypto world, outspoken YouTuber and investor Alex Becker—previously known for his harsh criticism of Cardano (ADA) and its community—has done a full 180. Becker has not only admitted to purchasing ADA but is now projecting it could be the biggest gainer among top-tier altcoins, setting a bullish target of up to $5.
While Becker has frequently thrown jabs at the Cardano community, calling them overly defensive and cult-like, he’s also been quick to acknowledge the platform’s technical merits. Most notably, he recently praised the Cardano blockchain as “fast as hell,” and called founder Charles Hoskinson’s strong personality a “bullish sign” for the project.

In his latest analysis, Becker highlighted that while Ethereum might 3–5x to reach $10,000 in an optimistic scenario, ADA could outperform with 5–7x gains. With Cardano still lagging behind peers like Solana, which has already rocketed from $12 to over $100, Becker believes ADA is primed for a breakout. If ADA hits $5, that would represent a massive 681% surge from its current levels.
What makes this shift even more compelling is Becker’s recent portfolio strategy. Earlier this year, he exited his Solana position and reallocated funds into Ethereum and Cardano. Citing Solana’s already priced-in gains, he described Cardano as offering “layup” returns—low-risk, high-reward plays that are too good to ignore.
His endorsement puts Cardano in the spotlight again, alongside other altcoins like Avalanche (AVAX), Sui, XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE), all of which he sees as having upside. However, Becker has repeatedly emphasized that ADA may have the largest runway of them all.
Despite his playful disdain for ADA loyalists, Becker’s consistent ADA purchases between January and March reveal where his convictions truly lie. With the market watching closely, Cardano’s underdog status may soon give way to a leading role in the next crypto bull run.
