ADA is about $0.2308, and epoch 661 is at 92 percent and closes tonight

Friday on Cardano opens with a bounce. Around 14:07 Central European time, CoinMarketCap had ADA at $0.230770, up 4.54 percent over 24 hours. CoinGecko gave $0.230649 and a gain of 4.39 percent. The working figure is $0.2308. Market value did not match again: CoinMarketCap has $8.49 billion, CoinGecko $8.66 billion. Those are two calculations, not two ADAs.

Bitcoin in the same hour is near $82,335, about 1.90 percent higher on the day, after a low below $80,000 driven by hot US PPI at 6.3 percent (Cointelegraph, 15 October). ADA stands at roughly 280 satoshis against it. Yesterday that was closer to 273. The beta is about 2.4×: Bitcoin plus 1.9 percent, ADA plus 4.5 percent.

Epoch 661 and locked value

Koios puts the chain tip at height 14,075,697. Epoch 661 is about 92 percent complete — slot 397,336 of 432,000 — and closes tonight, 16 October, at 23:44:51. By 14:07 it had 239,833 transactions (+35,930 versus 15 October) in 19,630 blocks. The epoch 661 treasury is 1,378,258,310 ADA and sits until the epoch boundary. There are 857 DReps, with about 15.92 billion ADA of voting power. min_pool_cost still stands at 170 ADA, k at 500.

DeFiLlama, on the newer methodology, gives $65.31 million (+2.5 percent versus yesterday). The legacy figure is $65.95 million; the gap of about $641,000 comes from methodology. By day: 14 October $67.20M → 15 October $65.37M → 16 October about $65.52M. Among protocols, Minswap is about $16.62 million, the Coinbase bridge about $13.27 million, Liqwid about $11.65 million.

What else sits beside the price

SongMarketCap the same day carries the Cardano Card shutdown on 31 October, Daedalus 11.5.0 and the CF Research Exchange; those stories sit on the ecosystem and protocol desks, not in this price piece. Tag 11.2 is still not published.
