How to Sell Cardano (ADA)
Thinking about selling some ADA? First, make sure you understand the implications of selling ADA. Depending on when you first started buying, you may be selling at a profit (or loss), which could impact your portfolio.
As ADA is a cryptocurrency, it trades on an open market, meaning that depending on when you sell, buyers may offer more favorable prices. Remember, the value of your ADA will rise and fall against other cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin or Litecoin) as well as cash (like USD and EUR).
An exchange with a real-time order book (like Kraken) will give you to-the-minute updates on what buyers and sellers are thinking about the current Cardano price.
