Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has made a bold prediction about Bitcoin. Despite Bitcoin’s recent 33% rise within a month, Hoskinson believes its price will reach a staggering $250,000 within the next two years.
Bitcoin’s Price Surge Anticipated by Hoskinson
Hoskinson suggests that $250,000 is a conservative target, with potential highs reaching $500,000. This projection was shared during a live YouTube session on November 27.
Factors influencing this growth have been attributed to an influx of investment in the cryptocurrency market and growing institutional interest in Bitcoin. During the live session, Hoskinson stated, “Bitcoin is expected to reach a quarter to half a million dollars in the next 12 to 24 months due to increasing investments and notable interest.”

Bitcoin’s Future Role in Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
Hoskinson has emphasized that Bitcoin will maintain its value as a digital asset, especially in decentralized finance. Additionally, the integration of Bitcoin into Cardano’s ecosystem for DeFi activities has been hinted at, allowing Bitcoin holders to leverage the capabilities of decentralized finance through the Cardano network.
Cardano’s Growth in Response to Bitcoin’s Performance
The recent performance of Cardano (ADA), one of the largest cryptocurrencies, has been notable. Over the past month, 190% growth has been recorded, with the token achieving a $1 price point after a significant decline in 2022.
However, market fluctuations were observed in the past 24 hours, where ADA saw a nearly 40% drop, trading at $1.5 billion.
Speculation Surrounding Cardano’s Spot ETF Approval
Attention has been drawn to the possibility of a Cardano spot ETF, as Bitcoin and Ethereum have already launched similar crypto-based products. ADA’s market performance could strengthen if the ETF proposal is approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
With these developments, optimism about Cardano’s future in the crypto space has been fueled, further solidifying its position as a market leader.
