Why trade it?
Unlike Ethereum-based tokens, Cardano native tokens aren’t created through a smart contract. Instead, they run on the same architecture as the ADA cryptocurrency.
According to the nonprofit Cardano Foundation, this makes Cardano native assets “first-class citizens” on the blockchain. The benefit of this is that the native architecture could make these tokens more secure and reduce the fees associated with transactions.
Did you know?
Cardano was the first blockchain platform to be created on peer-reviewed research, and it was developed through evidence based methods.
Cardano(ADA) was founded in 2017 and named after the 16th-century Italian polymath Gerolamo Cardano – and its native ADA token takes its name from the 19th-century mathematician Ada Lovelace, widely regarded as the world’s first computer programmer.
You can buy Cardano on the OANDA Crypto platform, and its token ADA can be used to store value, send and receive payments, and for supporting and paying transaction fees on the Cardano network.
There are many reasons why OANDA stands head and shoulders above other providers for crypto trading.

You can trade Cardano via our website, or the OANDA Crypto app, available for iOS and Android.
