According to @ItsDave_ADA, a US federal judge granted plaintiffs leave to file an expanded amended class action complaint in the Solana HAWK TUAH and Meteora matter, broadening the case beyond a single token and an isolated securities claim (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Dec 17, 2025). The amended complaint adds defendants Meteora, its CEO Benjamin Chow, Haliey Welch, Solana Sweeper, Memetic Labs, and 16 Minutes LLC, and introduces causes of action for common law fraud, breach of contract, deceptive practices under New York General Business Law sections 349 and 350, and unjust enrichment (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X; Burwick Law on X). The court accepted newly presented evidence as sufficiently concrete at the pleading stage, including a confidential informant, internal communications, contractual documentation, and blockchain forensic analysis alleging pre planned extraction mechanics, coordinated sniper wallet activity, false representations about locked liquidity, and wallet cluster patterns linking this launch to prior Solana based schemes (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X). The judge found no futility, no bad faith, and no undue delay, permitting plaintiffs to put a broader theory of coordinated technical, promotional, and financial conduct before the court (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X). The next phase will be motions to dismiss and, if the amended complaint survives, discovery will be consequential (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X; Burwick Law on X). Dave characterizes the dispute as a multi defendant case alleging systematic retail extraction, platform level conduct, and repeatable technical patterns on Solana rather than a narrow meme token issue (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X).

According to @ItsDave_ADA, Cardano decentralized exchange volume is approximately $13.1 million over the last 24 hours and continues to rise, as reported on Dec 10, 2025 on X, source: @ItsDave_ADA. Traders can use this rising on-chain DEX turnover as a practical signal of increasing activity and liquidity in ADA trading pairs across Cardano DeFi, source: @ItsDave_ADA. Consider monitoring ADA spot and perpetual funding, DEX slippage on top Cardano pools, and order book depth for potential short-term volatility as volume accelerates, source: @ItsDave_ADA.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, he publicly commended the teams at Minswap, SundaeSwap, WingRiders, VyFi, Cswap, and Splash in a Dec 10, 2025 X post, indicating positive community recognition for these DEX platforms (source: @ItsDave_ADA). The post did not provide performance metrics, token tickers, or specific roadmap details, so no direct trading signal or on-chain data was disclosed (source: @ItsDave_ADA). For traders, the mention flags these venues for near-term monitoring of potential liquidity programs, fee changes, or feature releases via their official channels before taking positions, given that the only confirmed information is the public endorsement (source: @ItsDave_ADA).

According to @ItsDave_ADA, Cardano DEXs absorbed a meaningful 24-hour demand surge and still completed swaps in a few seconds during his tests, source: @ItsDave_ADA (X post, Dec 10, 2025). He credits the resilience to years of optimization by DEX teams and Cardano core engineering via planning, simulations, and real-world stress, source: @ItsDave_ADA. For traders, this points to stable on-chain execution under load across multiple Cardano DEXs as observed in his morning tests, source: @ItsDave_ADA.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, Cardano DEX volume reached roughly 19 million ADA over the last 24 hours, with approximately 9.2 million ADA executed in the most recent 9 hours, signaling sharp acceleration in activity (source: @ItsDave_ADA). Traders watching ADA can note the intraday concentration of volume as a near-term indicator for liquidity conditions on Cardano decentralized exchanges (source: @ItsDave_ADA).

According to @ItsDave_ADA, Cardano (ADA) is the only top-10 cryptocurrency showing positive price action over the last 24 hours (source: @ItsDave_ADA, X, Dec 9, 2025). For traders, this denotes short-term relative outperformance versus peers such as BTC and ETH during that window (source: @ItsDave_ADA, X, Dec 9, 2025).

According to @ItsDave_ADA, he is inviting ADA holders to delegate their governance voting power to him as a Cardano DRep and has published his DRep ID drep1ygsgfhcydhlfglamhzkjn97rz3edef8a4z99fwl2frcwnrcmgurt3, emphasizing transparency, integrity, and active community participation, source: Dave @ItsDave_ADA on X dated Dec 9, 2025. Cardano governance under CIP-1694 allows ADA holders to delegate voting power to DReps whose voting weight equals the stake delegated to them, and DReps vote on on-chain governance actions, source: Input Output Global governance documentation on CIP-1694. The amount of ADA delegated to a specific DRep address is visible on-chain and determines that representative’s voting power, enabling traders to quantify DRep influence using governance delegation metrics, source: Cardano Foundation governance overview and Cardano blockchain explorer methodology. Governance decisions can include protocol parameter changes and treasury allocations that shape network roadmap execution, a set of outcomes closely tracked by market participants evaluating ADA’s fundamental governance risk, source: Input Output Global governance documentation.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, he joked on Dec 8, 2025 about not applying for a Midnight ambassador program and shared no project details, metrics, or timelines; source: @ItsDave_ADA on Twitter, Dec 8, 2025. According to @ItsDave_ADA, the post is not an announcement and does not indicate any change or catalyst for ADA, providing no direct trading signal; source: @ItsDave_ADA on Twitter, Dec 8, 2025.

According to Dave, Cardano aims to lead on protocol-level privacy via integration with Midnight, enabling a native hybrid execution model that combines privacy-preserving computation with verifiable, consent-driven selective disclosure (source: Dave on X, Dec 8, 2025). This setup allows regulatory compliance to be enforced cryptographically rather than operationally while maintaining decentralization and leveraging 8+ years of chain reliability (source: Dave on X, Dec 8, 2025). Dave states users retain sovereign control over identity and data as the system preserves determinism, auditability, and cryptographic data integrity, positioning privacy as an enforcement layer and making compliance programmable without counterparty trust or data exploitation (source: Dave on X, Dec 8, 2025).

According to @ItsDave_ADA, the message emphasizes privacy as a right, equality as a rule, and inclusivity by design, indicating a values-focused communication rather than a project update.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, Midnight will allow Cardano dApps to run with privacy by design, enabling interactions to be transparent where required and private where appropriate, creating a hybrid model for on-chain activity (source: @ItsDave_ADA, X, Dec 8, 2025). According to @ItsDave_ADA, compliance remains in place but becomes programmable, aligning on-chain operations with regulatory requirements across finance, healthcare, identity, and business contracts (source: @ItsDave_ADA, X, Dec 8, 2025). According to @ItsDave_ADA, the approach aims to let privacy and regulation coexist on-chain in a decentralized, trustless way, positioning Cardano to compete for the industry’s privacy layer and drive real-world adoption of ADA-based dApps (source: @ItsDave_ADA, X, Dec 8, 2025).

According to @ItsDave_ADA, Cardano sentiment is "extremely positive" and "just the start," signaling a bullish tone toward ADA from a community voice (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Dec 8, 2025). The post provides no specific catalysts, price targets, or on-chain metrics, so no verifiable trading triggers can be derived from the message itself (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Dec 8, 2025).

According to @ItsDave_ADA, the post states it is uncertain whether a goal is achievable while expressing modest ambition, without naming any asset, price level, timeline, or metric, providing no actionable detail for traders (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Dec 8, 2025). According to @ItsDave_ADA, the absence of specifics means there is no quantifiable trading signal, catalyst, or risk event to price into markets from this source at this time (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Dec 8, 2025).
