As confirmed by the founder, Cardano is making significant strides in enhancing user accessibility and cross-chain functionality. Specifically, the recent release of Lace 1.22.1 introduces support for Mozilla Firefox, broadening the wallet’s reach and offering users more flexibility in managing their digital assets.
As Crypto News Flash (CNF) recently highlighted, the integration positions Cardano as a major player in cross-chain DeFi by bridging Bitcoin’s liquidity with smart contract utility. Therefore, with the launch of Lace 1.22.1, Cardano’s lightweight Web3 wallet is now accessible on Mozilla Firefox, joining its existing availability on Chrome, Brave, and Edge browsers.
Furthermore, this expansion allows users to manage ADA, interact with decentralized applications (DApps), and explore Bitcoin integration features directly from their preferred browser, according to lace.io, as shared in a recent tweet.

Advancing Towards a Multichain Ecosystem
According to recent reports, the Lace wallet’s beta integration of Bitcoin marks a pivotal step in Cardano’s journey towards a multichain ecosystem. Users can now store and manage BTC within the Lace wallet on a test network, laying the groundwork for future Bitcoin decentralized finance (DeFi) capabilities.
This development clearly aligns with Cardano’s broader vision of fostering interoperability and expanding its ecosystem to support a diverse range of digital assets.
Current Market Performance of ADA
Reiterating a recent CNF report, Cardano whales accumulated over 420 million ADA in April, signaling growing confidence and potential bullish momentum despite recent market dips. Hence, Cardano’s ongoing developments, including the Lace wallet enhancements and Bitcoin integration, reflect its commitment to innovation and user-centric solutions.
As of now, Cardano (ADA) is trading at approximately $0.6635, experiencing a decline of 2.12% over the past 24 hours, and 5.87% in the past week, with a market capitalization of approximately $23.35 billion, CoinMarketCap. See ADA price chart below.
