For Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson, Bitcoin remains on the bullish trend, and he thinks that the asset’s price can increase to $250k and $500k in 12 to 24 months. According to Hoskinson, a few factors help boost Bitcoin’s price stability. He mentioned that there is still a growing interest in Bitcoin as an asset.

Cardano (ADA) has seen a massive rally in the last few weeks, surging over 81% in the past fourteen days. As the cryptocurrency continues breaking past key levels, a renowned crypto analyst highlighted its potential 2,000% climb. Related Reading: Analysts Bullish On Dogwifhat (WIF) $5 Target As Price Retests $4 Resistance Cardano To Hit $6 By Q3 2025 Crypto analyst Ali Martinez forecasted that Cardano might hit the $6 mark by September 2025. Earlier this year, the analyst noted that ADA’s chart reassembled a pattern similar to 2020, which suggests that the cryptocurrency could experience a rally like 2020-2021’s bull run. Per the post, ADA broke out from its two-year consolidation in early 2020 before retracing 75% and consolidating for most of the year. By November 2020, the token bounced from the accumulation range and started its massive 4,000% rally, which lasted around nine months. This year, Cardano has seen a similar move during the first leg of the cycle, reaching its year-high of $0.81 before retracing 75% and consolidating between the $0.6-$0.27 price range for the last eight months. Following the crypto market’s recent rally, fueled by Trump’s victory in the US elections and the Federal Reserve’s decision to reduce interest rates by 0.25, Cardano has experienced a massive 50% weekly surge. Martinez previously forecasted that ADA could experience the second leg’s initial jump on November 18, around two weeks after the US elections. However, the cryptocurrency reclaimed the $0.6 support zone and broke above the $0.65 horizontal level earlier today. This performance represents an eight-month high for Cardano, which has been heavily criticized for underperforming against most altcoins. According to the chart, ADA might move sideways around this range for the following days before challenging its year-high price. If ADA continues replicating the last cycle’s pattern, the cryptocurrency could reach the long-awaited $1 by year-end. Additionally, it could surpass its previous $3.09 all-time high (ATH) by Q1 2025 before entering price discovery mode. Martinez suggested that Cardano could rise over 2,000% toward the $6 mark, reaching its top between July and September 2025. ADA Among Today’s Market Leaders While most cryptocurrencies in the top 100 move sideways, ADA has soared 21 % in the last 24 hours. The token surged as the third-best performer today, behind XRP and ALGO. Besides the general economic and geopolitical factors, its recent performance has also been fueled by speculation surrounding Cardano’s potential involvement with Trump’s administration. On Thursday, a member of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations (UN), Shawn, shared on X that re-elected President Trump is exploring a federal voting and identity verification system based on blockchain technology. Related Reading: Dogecoin Frenzy Arrives In Korea: ‘Kimchi Premium’ Returns Amid DOGE’s 110% Rally Speculation arose when another X user claimed that Cardano’s founder Charles Hoskinson is “already in talks with the Trump administration,” arguing that “they’ve been working with the state of Wyoming on voting systems for a couple of years now.” Cardano has rallied an impressive 84% in the last month, breaking above the $0.65 mark for the first time since late March and recovering its top 10 crypto spot.

Renowned for its emphasis on sustainability and scalability, the blockchain platform Cardano has seen a notable increase recently. ADA, its native token, is surging nearly 80% in the last week, to the delight of investors. Related Reading: XRP Price Patterns And 2024 Election Spark Talk Of A New Rally With long-term predictions considerably more hopeful, they are now projecting a possible upside that may drive ADA’s price as high as $2.77 in the next months. However, technical indicators hint to ADA perhaps being underpriced right now, trading 16.99% below target forecasts for the next 30 days, data from CoinCheck up shows. Based on current analysis, ADA could soar to 139% within three months. While the one-year prognosis forecasts an amazing 168% increase, the six-month view is even more hopeful, predicting a 159% rise. Expectations For A Major Rally Analysts are hopeful that ADA will hit $7.77, with some predictions calling for a 1,700% increase. Even though it’s just a “prediction”, this massive price goal shows how far ADA has come and how big the market could be. These predictions are interesting, but they also show how unstable the crypto market is as a whole. These major forecasts mostly rely on how the market moves, how investors feel, and the overall state of the economy. $ADA (Cardano) now starting to return with major strength and can be entering the next and most bullish phase of its breakout process!

The recent Chang hard fork upgrade in September has positioned the Cardano (ADA) blockchain as the top player in the crypto ecosystem, according to its founder, Charles Hoskinson. Hoskinson, who is also known for his role in co-founding Ethereum (ETH), has consistently praised Cardano’s progress over the past month following the recent upgrade, asserting its superiority over the largest cryptocurrencies on the market such as Bitcoin (BTC) in terms of decentralization. Hoskinson Declares Cardano Remains Top Dog In a recent post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Hoskinson reaffirmed Cardano’s status, claiming it is “still number 1.” This statement follows his remarks at the Token2049 Conference in Singapore, where he discussed the new governance model of the Cardano network. Hoskinson emphasized that this model “redistributes power” from a select few to the broader community, addressing a key concern he sees with Ethereum’s “centralized structure.” Related Reading: Analyst Says PEPE Bearish Continuation Is Possible For A 50% Price Crash Hoskinson pointed out that Ethereum’s reliance on its founder, Vitalik Buterin, creates “a bottleneck for innovation,” whereas Cardano’s Chang hard fork has established a framework that ensures ongoing development regardless of individual involvement. Hoskinson further highlighted how delegated representatives (DReps) can now engage with one another, vote, and utilize a blockchain-based governance system to regularly ratify the network’s roadmap. He stated emphatically, “Charles, alive or dead, doesn’t matter. There’s still going to be innovation on a daily basis.” In addition, the Cardano blockchain has shown significant growth in key metrics, boasting over 74,000 Plutus scripts and the creation of 1.3 million delegated wallets over the last seven years. Additionally, approximately 1,373 projects have been launched on the platform, as highlighted in a commemorative video by Input Output Global (IOG), the development company behind the blockchain. Final Transition To Decentralized Governance? In his latest social media update, Hoskinson also remarked on Cardano’s advancements in decentralized governance, suggesting that the network is on the cusp of achieving remarkable milestones with upcoming features. Looking ahead, Cardano aims to replace its initial genesis keys, which have been instrumental in managing the network since its inception. This transition will be supported by increased participation from stake pool operators (SPOs) and DReps, as well as the establishment of a Constitutional Committee (CC). Related Reading: XRP Macro Charts Signal Explosive Bullish Move Despite SEC Appeal: Analyst The next steps toward achieving a fully decentralized governance model involve ensuring that stake pool nodes meet operational thresholds and that decentralized applications (DApps) are nearing completion.

At the TOKEN2049 conference, SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci revealed that US Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is working alongside industry advocates on her crypto policies before the November elections. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Flies 12% To Reclaim $140, Is $160 Next? Kamala Harris “Distancing” From Warren And Gensler On Thursday, Anthony Scaramucci claimed to be “working alongside” Kamala Harris to develop her campaign’s crypto policies. SkyBridge Capital’s founder announced at one of the largest crypto events worldwide that the Democratic nominee has been “hearing out” industry proponents. Scaramucci and other undisclosed crypto and Bitcoin advocates have been allegedly pushing the US VP to back industry-friendly policies. These talks have been seemingly “making progress” and “going in the right direction,” he stated at the event. Moreover, the industry advocates working alongside Harris “want to prevent” crypto policies from becoming a partisan issue, aiming for “crypto in the U.S. to have a bipartisan standard unstrained from political and tribal conflicts.” Scaramucci also stated that they are working to “distance” the Democratic Party from figures like Senator Elizabeth Warren and Gary Gensler, who have had a big role in the US’s crackdown on the industry. The Democratic candidate’s stance on the sector has been heavily speculated since she was nominated. Nonetheless, Harris, whose stance remains undisclosed, has been endorsed by several industry figures, including Ripple’s co-founder Chris Larsen and Bitcoin bull Mark Cuban. Who Is The Crypto Industry’s ‘Favorite’ Candidate? At the TOKEN2049 panel, Scaramucci also commented on his feelings about former US president Donald Trump. He applauded the Republican candidate for understanding the industry’s importance, claiming that he has changed the landscape ahead of the elections: Whatever my feelings are about President Trump, I applaud him for understanding how important this industry is for the United States, and I think ironically, he’s pulling the Democrats along into a centrist position on regulation. Trump’s stance has pushed the Biden-Harris administration toward a more industry-friendly approach in the past few months. In a recent interview with CNBC, Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, also suggested that Trump might be the favorite option from a crypto perspective. To him, the Republican candidate is the clear industry favorite as he has openly embraced the sector, even launching a DeFi project. The community has also launched several Trump-inspired memecoins throughout his campaign, which lead the PolitiFi token sector. Related Reading: Will Bitcoin Break Through $70k?

Prediction markets like Polymarket show that Harris’s chances of winning surpass Trump’s by 3%, with 51% odds in her favor. Nonetheless, Hoskinson considers that regardless of who wins the election, the world will continue to move toward crypto adoption. “The world, with or without America, is embracing cryptocurrencies,” he stated. As of this writing, Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is trading at $63,480, an 8% increase in the past week. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
