Cardano runs first smart contract legally enforceable in Argentina
ADA’s price remained steady despite Cardano’s historic and legally enforceable loan contract.
- Cardano made history by hosting the first loan smart contract enforceable at an Argentine court. Despite the milestone, ADA’s price remained muted near its key support
Cardano [ADA] hosted the first legally enforceable smart contract under the laws of Argentina. The agreement was a loan between two Cardano ambassadors that could be remedied in court, if breached.
The contract was a loan obligation worth 3000 ADA tokens between Mauro Andreoli and Luccas Macchia. Giving context to the impact of the development, Andreoli stated,
“It means that, thanks to the legal framework provided and the process carried out, any breach can be enforced in court for the performance of the obligation in ADA.”
Great for Cardano?
Besides, it would act as a foundation for setting a legal framework at the nation-state level and the future of smart legal contracts.
“Additionally, it serves as a necessary precursor for future legal smart contracts. This development lays the groundwork and fortifies the system. Moving forward, we must focus on educating the judges.”
Although the aforementioned milestone involved a loan contract, the same could be applied to other contracts, such as rental home and purchase agreements.
The news didn’t stir ADA on the price charts though. The token’s price hovered above its support at $0.30 and followed a broader market decline.
For context, crypto markets declined after the FOMC minutes on 9 October. The overall market was still range-bound, at press time, following hotter-than-expected September U.S. CPI data.
However, for ADA, the support at $0.3 and immediate overhead hurdles at the trendline resistance (white) and $0.4 would be key targets to track in the short term.
That being said, data from Binance Top Trader Long/Short ratio showed a slightly bullish tilt. This meant that some of the best traders’ positions on the exchange were net long on the altcoin. About 51% of top positions bet on ADA’s short-term price reversal.
However, a strong rebound for ADA could only happen if Bitcoin’s [BTC] reverses its recent losses.
