This upgrade is expected to enhance Cardano’s governance by introducing advanced voting and treasury systems, allowing all ADA holders to influence the network’s direction.
The hard fork is anticipated to be a major shift in Cardano’s approach to blockchain technology.
Analysts are predicting that the Chang Hard Fork could lead to a substantial rise in ADA’s value, with forecasts suggesting it might reach between $1 and $10.
Dan Gambardello views the update as a potential catalyst for significant price movement.

Middle-East tensions pushed Bitcoin under $100k and drove Ethereum to its lowest levels since May, but the next potential volatility spark is already on the calendar: a cluster of token releases worth nearly $140 million will hit the market between 24–28 June.
