Cardano (ADA) has now officially joined a number of digital currencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Tron (TRX), XRP, Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Basic Attention Token (BAT), on Bitpoint.

Why Is This Important?

This is important because it helps to validate and boost the reputation of Cardano (ADA) across the world. The country has strict regulations when it comes to listing digital currencies on exchanges. In order to protect citizens, cryptocurrencies come under rigorous scrutiny in Japan.

Charles Hoskinson Reacts to the Development

In excitement, Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano (ADA), posted a haiku poem composed by the most famous poet of the Japanese Edo period, Matsuo Basho.
