Cardano has integrated into the Bitcoin 
$98,658 ecosystem via the BitcoinOS Grail Bridge. This integration supports the scalability of the largest blockchains by market capitalization and lays the groundwork for “decentralized programmability” within the network.
Integration and Functionality
According to an announcement by BitcoinOS (BOS), Cardano’s integration into the BOS Grail Bridge has been completed. This makes Cardano the first major layer-1 blockchain to be included in the BOS infrastructure, providing access to significant liquidity within the Bitcoin network.
As stated in the announcement, EMURGO, the founder of the Cardano network, collaborated with BOS to enhance liquidity via the Grail Bridge. This partnership will facilitate the reliable bridging of BTC and other assets on the Bitcoin network.
Impact on ADA Price
Crypto analyst Dan Gambardello noted that this move is significant for the price of ADA. Gambardello pointed out that the timing of this announcement for Cardano (ADA) 
$0.814531 is exceptionally good. With BTC prices beginning to recover, altcoins are seeking growth through such major updates.
Gambardello emphasized that the community does not fully grasp how monumental the integration of Cardano with Bitcoin is, highlighting that Cardano is “the most technically important network after Bitcoin.” However, the ADA price has not yet responded positively to the integration, experiencing over a 1% decline in the last 24 hours, trading at around $0.34.
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, welcomed the integration, stating, “Welcome, Bitcoin.” His statement followed claims that Cardano would surpass Bitcoin and Ethereum 
$3,369 within twenty years. It is also worth noting that many investors still criticize Cardano’s “slow development,” as the network has yet to build its vast ecosystem and engaging applications.
This integration facilitates continuous connectivity between Bitcoin and Cardano. Bridging these networks and creating a value ecosystem larger than the sum of its parts is crucial. The Grail Bridge uses zero-knowledge proof technology to enable users to securely move their assets within the Bitcoin network and layer-2 networks.
