Hoskinson believes 2026 could be a pivotal year for Cardano — here are the reasons he is optimistic about Cardano

2026-01-07 10:58:14

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is confident about 2026, calling it a potential turning point for Cardano and its privacy-focused sidechain Midnight. Despite ADA experiencing over 60% retracement in 2025 (reflecting the overall market trend) and facing regulatory setbacks such as the failure of the CLARITY bill, Hoskinson still believes that structural challenges are paving the way for more mature growth. He emphasizes returning to the fundamental mission of cryptocurrency and points out that Midnight’s upcoming launch and NIGHT’s initial market cap of over $1 billion are key catalysts. Although the price of NIGHT has since pulled back, Hoskinson considers this dip to be temporary. Major network upgrades like Ouroboros Leios, Bitcoin DeFi integration, and infrastructure improvements are expected to drive NIGHT’s development, with Hoskinson stressing that long-term fundamentals are more important than short-term price fluctuations.
