Cardano Co-Founder Commends Midnight – Should ADA Investors Be Concerned?

Cardano’s price is currently below 25 cents, reflecting a weekly decline of 8%, and the ecosystem is presenting a troubling narrative and forecast. Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of ADA, recently lauded Midnight as a “next-generation cryptocurrency,” coinciding with ADA’s drop beneath a significant moving average.

Hoskinson’s support comes after Midnight secured a pivotal agreement with UK digital bank Monument to tokenize £250 million in customer deposits, marking the first instance of a UK-regulated bank tokenizing deposits on a public blockchain while ensuring they remain interest-bearing and safeguarded.

On X, Hoskinson emphasized Midnight’s tokenomics, particularly its protocol revenue mechanism that purchases and recycles the NIGHT token into the treasury, fostering a deflationary supply model. This is an intriguing proposition. The challenge? It is not ADA.

One of the most thrilling aspects of Midnight for me is that the protocol enables a broad spectrum of new tokenomics opportunities, including protocol revenue purchasing NIGHT and recycling it to the Midnight Treasury, thus establishing a sustainable security and project budget, but a…

Cardano Price Prediction: Will Cardano Reclaim $0.30 Before the Van Rossem Fork?

ADA is presently consolidating between $0.23 and $0.27, having fallen below the 20-day EMA at $0.258, a level that analysts monitor closely as a momentum divider. The 50-day SMA is near $0.30, while the 200-day SMA is at $0.50, both serving as overhead resistance that the price has not approached in months.

However, there is a counterbalance. Whale accumulation of $161 million has quietly propelled Cardano’s DeFi TVL beyond $1.1 billion, and the upcoming van Rossem hard fork in April, along with a Midnight mainnet launch, represent the most significant fundamental drivers ADA has encountered in 2026. CME futures and Grayscale holdings provide institutional context that should not be overlooked.

Binance’s 2026 forecast suggests an April average near $0.57, which is optimistic by current standards, although longer-term models from Flitpay estimate a range of $1.20–$1.80 if macro conditions are favorable. CoinCodex’s short-term prediction is more conservative: a low of $0.25 by March 30.

Bitcoin Hyper Targets Early Mover Upside as Cardano Tests Key Levels

ADA maintaining $0.25 is not a triumph; it is a holding pattern. For traders observing Layer 1s decline and questioning whether the next cycle’s infrastructure advancements are already reflected in established names, early-stage infrastructure projects are gaining renewed interest.

This is precisely the context fueling interest in Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a presale initiative positioning itself as the first-ever Bitcoin Layer 2 with Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) integration.

Two modes. One future.

The proposition is structural: Bitcoin’s challenges — slow finality, high fees, limited programmability — are addressed at the infrastructure level, while maintaining Bitcoin’s security. Rapid smart contracts on Bitcoin, not in place of it.

The presale has generated over $32 million at a current price of $0.0136, with substantial 36% APY staking rewards available for early participants. The SVM integration is the standout feature, offering faster performance than Solana itself, along with a Decentralized Canonical Bridge for BTC transfers and extremely low-latency execution.
