Cardano Price Prediction: Co-Founder Hoskinson Praises Midnight as ’Next-Generation Crypto’ – Should ADA Holders Brace for Impact?
Cardano (ADA) faces immediate downside risk after breaking below critical technical support, with analysts warning of a potential 10% correction as co-founder Charles Hoskinson publicly endorses rival protocol Midnight. The warning comes amid ADA's 8% weekly decline, trading under $0.25, while Hoskinson highlights Midnight's landmark deal with UK digital bank Monument to tokenize £250 million in deposits – the first such move by a UK-regulated bank on a public blockchain. Hoskinson specifically praised Midnight's deflationary tokenomics model on X, where protocol revenue buys and recycles NIGHT tokens into the treasury, creating direct competition for investor attention during Cardano's technical breakdown.
Cardano Price Prediction: Cardano to Reclaim $0.30 Before the Van Rossem Fork?
ADA is currently consolidating between $0.23 and $0.27, having broken below the 20-day EMA at $0.258, a level technicians watch closely as a momentum divider. The 50-day SMA sits near $0.30 and the 200-day SMA at $0.50, both acting as overhead resistance that the price hasn’t sniffed in months.
There’s a counterweight, though. Whale accumulation of $161 million has quietly pushed Cardano’s DeFi TVL past $1.1 billion, and the approaching van Rossem hard fork in April, alongside a Midnight mainnet launch, represent the most significant fundamental catalysts ADA has seen in 2026. CME futures and Grayscale holdings add institutional framing that shouldn’t be dismissed.
Binance’s 2026 forecast puts an April average near $0.57, optimistic by any current measure, though longer-range models from Flitpay project a $1.20–$1.80 range if macro conditions align. CoinCodex’s near-term call is more grounded: $0.25 low by March 30.
Bitcoin Hyper Targets Early Mover Upside as Cardano Tests Key Levels
ADA holding $0.25 is not a victory; it’s a waiting room. For traders watching Layer 1s bleed and wondering whether the next cycle’s infrastructure gains are already priced into established names, early-stage infrastructure plays are drawing fresh attention.
That’s exactly the context driving interest toward Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a presale project positioning itself as the first-ever Bitcoin Layer 2 with Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) integration.
Two modes. One future.

The pitch is structural: Bitcoin’s limitations — slow finality, high fees, limited programmability- are addressed at the infrastructure layer, while preserving Bitcoin’s security. Fast smart contracts on Bitcoin, not instead of it.
The presale has raised overat a current price of, with hugeavailable for early participants. The SVM integration is the standout feature, faster performance than Solana itself, alongside a Decentralized Canonical Bridge for BTC transfers and extremely low-latency execution.
