Hoskinson Says ADA Won’t Be Controlled by Wall Street Anymore – Is This the Turning Point?

Charles Hoskinson, the founder and CEO of Cardano, has ignited a new heated debate in the cryptocurrency arena by stating that ADA, Cardano’s native cryptocurrency, wont be controlled by Wall Street anymore.  His comments imply that ADA is structurally shifting away from depending on the “Wall Street” style of trading and speculative cycles. According to his view, ADA could move toward a more user‑governed, utility‑driven network. He strongly criticized the role that macroeconomic factors play in the cryptocurrency market and urged the users to stay united to make a change in the way the crypto sector functions.  

He believes that if the ADA is less influenced by external financial conditions, it might not stumble every time global markets or macroeconomic factors fluctuate. The detachment from these external factors could bring a more stable crypto sector over time. Hoskinson posted his podcast on YouTube and his account. An account named Futurism Products commented on Charles Hoskinson’s X post that macroeconomics could become more complicated. They stated that raising money, getting loans, and attracting more liquidity capital on a macroeconomic level through Midnight would help Cardano tremendously. They also mentioned that a $100 million needed budget for all Cardano integrations was on the way.   

ADA is currently showing mixed momentum in the cryptocurrency market, with short-term price analysis indicating a bullish trend and long-term price data displaying bearish momentum. Some technical analysis of ADA points towards a positive momentum in the near term, but the decrease in daily volume over the past week indicates caution from traders. The altcoin and 10th largest cryptocurrency by market cap has failed to impress over the past four years and currently trades below the $1 psychological price point. ADA’s market cap is around $15.54 billion, but it has been drowning and is closer to falling out of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap.   

Cardano Founder Calls For Crypto To Be Valued On Fundamentals, Not Macroeconomic Turbulence

According to Hoskinson, the cryptocurrency market and digital assets’ price movement, including ADA’s heavily connected to the macroeconomic events like U.S. Fed Data, tariffs, traditional bank crashes, and political tensions. He criticized the impact of macroeconomic factors in the cryptocurrency market and stated that he was tired of the four years of decline and thought that others were too. He was tired of the macro being their master, and no matter what they did, if Trump tweeted something, if a tariff came out, or if some goddamn bank in a country they had never heard of collapsed, suddenly the markets went down 20%. He added that it was about time they went their own way and that they were never going to do so unless they unified as one. He emphasized that they needed to get together and just get it done. He said that he was tired of this dynamic and wants a fast, lasting change built on one idea: unity on his podcast.  

According to him, events outside of the crypto sector have always been a fate-determining factor in the crypto market, resembling the “Wall Street type” capital flows. He believes that these factors often overshadow the crypto projects’ growth, innovation, adoption, etc. Hoskinson wants Cardano and ADA to be evaluated based on factors like their own technology, community, and use cases. He proposes a united space where digital assets like ADA are valued on the basis of project fundamentals, decentralization, and urges the users to be independent from speculative institutional capital, similar to the “Wall Street type.”
