Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson recently said in an interview that "Once the Ouroboros Leios upgrade is applied to the mainnet, the Cardano blockchain will achieve performance comparable to XRPL (Ripple Ledger)." According to CryptoBasic, he stated that "Leios technology can increase Cardano's transactions per second (TPS) by up to 60 times compared to the current rate. It is also a technology that can significantly improve throughput while maintaining decentralization and security. With the introduction of Leios, Cardano will be able to compete with major blockchains in terms of processing speed and scalability." Meanwhile, Cardano plans to apply Leios to its mainnet within this year. As per CoinMarketCap, ADA is currently trading at $0.1772, up 4.85%.
