Charles Hoskinson Shakes Up Crypto: Swaps $100M ADA Treasury for Bitcoin & Stablecoins to Bridge DeFi Divide

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson just dropped a bombshell—converting a whopping $100 million ADA treasury into Bitcoin and stablecoins. The move aims to patch Cardano''s DeFi shortcomings, but critics are already calling it a ''band-aid on a blockchain.''

Why the pivot? Hoskinson''s betting big on liquidity. By diversifying into Bitcoin and dollar-pegged assets, Cardano could finally compete with Ethereum''s DeFi dominance. But let''s be real—since when has throwing stablecoins at a problem ever backfired?

The crypto community is split. ADA loyalists see strategic genius; Bitcoin maxis smell desperation. Meanwhile, Ethereum devs are quietly stacking fees. One thing''s certain: this isn''t your grandpa''s treasury management.

Will this $100M gamble pay off? Only time—and maybe a few overleveraged degens—will tell.

Thanks to the formation of higher lows, Cardano (ADA) is in high gear to breach the psychological prices of $0.65 and $0.80.

Calling out this development, market analyst Lingrid pointed out, “Price action is forming higher lows within a broad descending channel, eyeing a break toward the $0.75 target. A close above the resistance trendline could ignite bullish momentum and invalidate the recent downside structure.”

In price action, higher lows play an important role in signalling the resumption of bullish momentum because they show that buyers are stepping in earlier each time the price dips.

Therefore, this reflects growing demand or confidence, a major catalyst for an uptrend.

At the time of this writing, cardano was trading at $0.6348 per CoinGecko data.

Charles Hoskinson’s Stablecoin Proposal

Charles Hoskinson recently highlighted Cardano’s low stablecoin ratio as a major weakness.

As a result, Hoskinson proposed converting $100M in ADA from the Cardano treasury into Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins to boost decentralized finance (DeFi) growth and liquidity.

The Cardano founder suggested diversifying ADA’s treasury to address its low stablecoin-to-DeFi ratio, which is under 10%. The company has $32 million in stablecoins and $330 million in total value locked (TVL).
