About Cardano
What you are selling
Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain known for its research-first approach: its protocols are published in peer-reviewed papers before they ship, and its consensus mechanism, Ouroboros, was one of the first proof-of-stake designs with formal security proofs. ADA is the coin that pays for transactions and secures the network through staking, which on Cardano works directly from your own wallet with no lock-up.
People buy ADA to hold one of the longest-established proof-of-stake assets, to stake it from a wallet they control and earn network rewards, and to use applications and native tokens built on Cardano. Its fixed maximum supply of 45 billion ADA is a large part of its appeal to long-term holders.
Buy Cardano from Coin Nerds, or sell it to us, online and across branch counters. Every purchase settles at the live market rate on this page and is delivered to your own Cardano wallet within minutes of your payment clearing.
The full Cardano guide- Ticker
- ADA. One ADA divides into 1,000,000 lovelace, named after Ada Lovelace like the coin itself.
- Launched
- September 2017, founded by Charles Hoskinson and developed by Input Output (IOG), with the Cardano Foundation and EMURGO.
- Supply
- Capped at 45 billion ADA. Most is in circulation; the rest is issued gradually to stakers as rewards.
- Consensus
- Ouroboros proof of stake: ADA holders delegate to stake pools from their own wallets, with no lock-up and no minimum beyond a small deposit, and earn rewards every five days.
- Smart contracts
- Supported since the Alonzo upgrade in 2021, with native tokens and NFTs issued directly on the ledger.
- Custody
- You hold ADA with a private key. Coin Nerds delivers to the wallet address you provide, so the keys are yours from the first minute.

Chat with a human, 24/7What is the ADA to USD rate right now?
The figure at the top of this page is the live market rate for ADA to USD, quoted from the same feed the trade widget uses and updating as the market moves. The amount you see when you confirm an order is the amount that lands.
How much USD is my ADA worth?
The ladder on this page shows what real amounts of ADA are worth at this second, and the widget takes any amount you type. What you see is what you receive. The minimum trade is $100 CAD.
How do I receive my USD?
Proceeds go back over the same kinds of rails you would use to pay in: local bank transfers, wallets, or cash at a branch or through an agent. Coin Nerds supports 100+ methods across regions, including SEPA, JazzCash, PayPal, and Cash in Person.
Can I convert USD back to ADA?
Yes. The USD to ADA conversion runs the same way in reverse, at the live market rate, and it has its own page with the current figures.
Is there a limit on how much I can convert?
The minimum trade is $100 CAD. There is no practical ceiling: orders of $50,000 and above go through the OTC desk, where the price is locked once quoted, and the desk is reachable over chat, phone, and email.
Converting ADA to USD with Coin Nerds
To convert Cardano to USD, enter the amount of ADA you want to sell and the widget shows what lands in USD at the live market rate. Confirm, send the ADA, and take the proceeds over the rail you choose, from a local bank transfer to cash across the counter at a branch. The rate you see when you confirm is the rate you get, and the amount shown is the amount that lands.
Why the ADA to USD rate moves
Cardano trades continuously against the dollar and against every other currency, so the ADA to USD figure on this page changes second to second with the market. Coin Nerds quotes from the live market rather than a rate set once a day, which is why the number here moves while you read. The figure you accept in the widget is the figure your order settles at.
Converting ADA to USD in person
The same conversion runs across the counter at a Coin Nerds branch, including Mississauga (Ontario, Canada), Salt Lake City (Utah, United States), Lahore (Pakistan). Bring government-issued ID and the wallet you want the coins delivered to, and a person handles the trade with you at the same live rate. In every other major city, our agents arrange in-person cash trades over chat or by phone, in any amount, at any time.
Large ADA to USD conversions
Orders of $50,000 and above go through the OTC desk, where the price is locked once it is quoted rather than moving while the order fills, and the desk is reachable over chat, phone, and email. Below that, the widget and the app handle any size from the $100 CAD minimum up.
A regulated place to convert ADA
Coin Nerds, Inc. is a registered money services business regulated in multiple jurisdictions, founded in 2018, with $3B+ settled and 100K+ customers. Every registration is published on the licenses page. Because every purchase is delivered to a wallet you control, converting ADA here never means trusting an exchange with your coins.
