- Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson discussed the possibility of Bitcoin reaching $1 million per coin, but claimed ADA could outperform its returns by 100 or 1,000 times.
- Analysts project the token’s potential climb to around $1.38 before 2025 ends.
In an interview, Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano (ADA) and CEO of IO, again stirred excitement in the cryptocurrency community. He told Jason Yanowitz, co-founder of Blockworks, that ADA has the potential to outperform Bitcoin (BTC).
Cardano (ADA) Surpassing Bitcoin’s (BTC) Returns
Hoskinson explored the possibility of Bitcoin ever hitting $1 million from its average of $118K per token today. However, he boldly stated that Cardano could do better in terms of returns.
The IO CEO explained that if BTC could deliver roughly 10 times return from now, ADA could overshoot the numbers by 100-fold or even 1,000 times. This meant the latter could break approximately $600 to $6,000 per token.
Even ADA investors found the numbers exaggerated, especially at a time when Bitcoin is gaining significant boost in institutional demand. Nevertheless, their optimism remains high due to ongoing developments within the Cardano ecosystem, particularly revolving around the Midnight Glacier Drop and IO’s audit report this August.

We covered a lot: politics, psychedelics, his bison + black hawk, his alien search, Japan’s influence on Cardano, personal security, and of course…

Anticipation for the Midnight Airdrop and IO Audit
Hoskinson revealed in the interview that he will announce the formal launch of the anticipated Midnight airdrop at the Rare Evo event on August 6 to 10. Meanwhile, IO’s ADA holdings will be audited via livestream in mid-August.
The latter came in response to allegations claiming that Hoskinson manipulated Cardano’s ledger and misused some of its assets. Masato Alexander, a non-fungible token (NFT) artist, previously accused the IO CEO of using a genesis key to rewrite the ledger to gain control of around $619 million worth of ADA during the Allegra hard fork.

By comparison, when the DAO hack happened in 2016, the Ethereum community forked over $60m.

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance Predictions for ADA
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance explained that Cardano is one of the “most academically grounded and research-driven blockchain platforms” today. This gives it a unique position in the crypto space.
They pointed out that Cardano has significantly matured. It now holds an active role in the deployment of decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization applications. Hence, it has a lot of potential from a fundamental perspective.
Currently, ADA hovers within a $0.80 per token valuation. Based on its present trajectory, the analysts predicted it could rebound as high as $1.376 in its next bullish push. However, it could drop to $0.735 if it fails to hold its key support during market pullbacks.
Their average projection for ADA sits at $0.94.
