Cardano Creator Targets Coin Market Cap Top Position for ADA
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, has shared another bold long-term objective for the blockchain network, pushing ADA to the number one position on CoinMarketCap. His statement came during a recent X Spaces session titled Kick-Off: The Cardano 2026 Proposals, hosted by Input Output Global (IOG), where discussions centered on the platform’s funding plans and strategic direction for 2026. Timestamp: 47:04 https://t.co/TD9CWFa3xu — Angry Crypto Show (@angrycryptoshow) April 22, 2026 Next Phase of Growth During the discussion, Hoskinson explained that Cardano is approaching a critical stage in its development. According to him, the network has spent years building strong technical foundations, but the next challenge is converting that progress into wider adoption and stronger market relevance. He noted that Cardano introduced several innovations early in its journey, including the extended UTXO accounting model, but argued that innovation alone is no longer enough. He believes the focus must now shift toward execution, ecosystem growth, and stronger competitive positioning within the digital asset industry. Hoskinson made it clear that he is not interested in maintaining Cardano as simply a respected blockchain project. Instead, he wants ADA to lead the market. Speaking during the session, he stated directly that he wants Cardano to reach the top position on CoinMarketCap, emphasizing that his objective is to win rather than remain a secondary player in the industry. The Challenge of Reaching Number One At present, ADA remains far from that goal. Cardano is currently ranked 13th on CoinMarketCap, with a market capitalization of approximately $8.93 billion. While the asset has previously maintained stronger positions among the top cryptocurrencies, it has recently moved outside the top ten. To attain the number one position, Cardano (ADA) would need to overtake Bitcoin, which currently holds a market capitalization of roughly $1.56 trillion. This means Cardano would require an increase of more than 17,500% from its current valuation. Despite the size of that gap, Hoskinson expressed confidence that such progress is not impossible . He argued that there is no structural limitation preventing Cardano from reaching that level if the ecosystem continues to grow strategically and consistently. Rather than relying on one company or one product to drive growth, Hoskinson stressed the importance of building through collective participation across the Cardano ecosystem. He believes long-term success depends on continuous development from multiple contributors, including developers, infrastructure teams, governance participants, and community stakeholders. His view is that broad investment across technology, governance, and network functionality will be more effective than concentrating resources in a single direction. This approach reflects Cardano’s long-standing emphasis on decentralization and community-led development. IOG’s 2026 Treasury Proposals As part of this broader strategy, Input Output Global has submitted nine treasury proposals for 2026. These proposals cover several major areas, including Layer-2 scaling solutions, improvements to network consensus, developer tooling, Plutus development, system upgrades, and the Pogun initiative. The company noted that its total funding request is less than half of what was requested the previous year. This suggests a more targeted and disciplined approach, with stronger emphasis on execution and measurable progress. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 Delegated Representatives (DReps) have already started voting on these proposals, and the process will continue until May 24. This allows the Cardano community to play a direct role in determining which priorities receive support for the next stage of development. Hoskinson has also connected Cardano’s future to a wider mission beyond price performance and rankings. In a recent update to his X profile and cover image, he highlighted Cardano and Midnight as central projects in building systems focused on privacy, interoperability, sustainability and decentralization. His message reflects an effort to position both networks as part of a larger long-term vision rather than simply investment vehicles. While reaching the top of CoinMarketCap remains an ambitious target, Hoskinson’s broader argument is that Cardano’s purpose extends beyond market competition and into shaping more effective digital systems for the future.

Trump tells top $TRUMP holders at Mar-a-Lago that crypto was created in America
Donald Trump stood up before a crowd of his largest $TRUMP meme coin holders at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday and wrongfully claimed that crypto was invented in the United States, just as his meme coin was crashing some more. “The crypto industry was created in America. We invented it, and its growth has been led by America, and its future will be made in America and other countries,” said Trump. It is worth noting that crypto was founded by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, whom the entire world has tried and failed to uncover for well over a decade. If he were American, surely the CIA would have figured that out by now. Unless, of course, the CIA is Satoshi Nakamoto, in which case we sincerely apologize to the POTUS. Anyway, Trump’s Saturday gathering was tied to wallet rankings, VIP access, and branded gifts, even as crypto traders kept asking the obvious question: why celebrate a coin that has wrecked late buyers this badly? Naturally, Trump used his 45-minute keynote [slurred] speech to talk about the Iran war he started, his crypto policy record (only one crypto bill has been passed), AI, and the recent rally in Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC), the chipmaker he invested billions of US taxpayer money in, before then boosting its stock via a series of entanglements with other companies that Trump himself championed. Trump hosts major $TRUMP holders while the token trades near $2.59 $TRUMP traded at $2.56 on Saturday afternoon, down 10.4% in 24 hours, which is far below its record above $70, which came during the post-inauguration buying rush in January 2025, based on CoinGecko data . The meme coin crashed to $15 by May 2025, which was the time Trump held a similar gathering for top meme coin holders. Back to the event, people in the room said supporters rushed toward the front to hear Trump speak. Secret Service agents kept telling people to stay seated, but some did not listen. The event was not just a speech. The 29 largest $TRUMP holders were invited to a VIP reception with the president, and then apparently received Trump fragrances, posters, trading cards, and watches. The official site for the coin and the event said there would be no private meetings with Trump and that no gifts would be accepted. As of the time this article was written, Trump was already back in Washington. The guest list included Cathie Wood, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, Tony Robbins, and Mike Tyson. During the eligibility period for the Mar-a-Lago gathering, $TRUMP produced $1.35 billion in trading volume, based on data from Nansen. Justin Sun stands on business in fight with Trump family as degens back him online The event also came during a public legal fight involving Justin Sun, the biggest known public investor in $TRUMP, and World Liberty Financial. Cryptopolitan previously reported that Justin sued the Trump family’s main crypto project earlier this week and accused it of “criminal extortion” after his WLFI tokens were frozen. He said the freeze came because he refused to invest more money into the company. WLFI has traded near its all-time low. Justin was not seen at Saturday’s event. He also sold his full 3% stake in $TRUMP in one sale. Justin said in his lawsuit statement: “I have always been and remain an ardent supporter of President Trump and his Administration’s efforts to make America crypto friendly.” He added that the lawsuit did not change how he felt about Trump or the administration. Justin blamed people on the World Liberty team, saying they acted against Trump’s values. He said they froze all his tokens, took away his right to vote on governance proposals, and threatened to burn the tokens for good. He said he tried to settle the fight without court action, but the team refused to restore his tokens and rights. Justin also said: “All I want is to be treated the same as every other early investor who received tokens, no better, no worse.” The crypto community has mostly sided with Justin. The so-called self-proclaimed degens have been especially loud, and the fight has spilled onto X, where Justin and Eric Trump have traded public shots. Justin was not at Trump’s event.

Litecoin faced a bug in MWEB that let invalid transactions pass on outdated nodes
A disruption on Litecoin briefly rattled the network on Saturday. A bug in its MimbleWimble Extension Block (MWEB) execution allowed invalid transactions to slip through outdated mining nodes. The Litecoin team stated that non-updated nodes processed a malformed MWEB transaction. This enabled coins to be pegged out to third-party DEXs. The issue reportedly created a window where fraudulent transactions could be accepted by parts of the network that had not applied the latest patch. The exploit left minor damage on the token. LTC price dipped marginally over the last 24 hours. LTC is trading at $56 at the press time. Litecoin reorg sparks 51% attack debate The Litecoin team in a X post reported that the network executed a 13-block reorganization. This rolled back the affected chain segment and removed all invalid transactions. The team clarified that all legal transactions that happened at that time remain intact. The exploit itself was patched. Analysts Alex Shevchenko and Zacodil flagged the unusual reorg early. However, some interpret it as a potential 51% attack. On-chain data support the concern at first glance. Blocks between 3095930 and 3095943 took over three hours to mine. It took a long time in comparison to the expected 30 minutes based on Litecoin’s 2.5-minute block time. This suggests an average block time of roughly 13.5 minutes. That was more than five times slower than normal. Preliminary the fork was happening starting 3095930 till 3095943 — Alex Shevchenko 🇺🇦 (@AlexAuroraDev) April 25, 2026 One analyst noted that such conditions often come across as the pattern of a 51% attack. In such a situation, an attacker builds a competing private chain before replacing the public one. However, the Litecoin team suggested that the event was a bug-triggered anomaly rather than a successful chain takeover. However, the reorg acted as a corrective mechanism. NEAR Intents had initially estimated around $600,000 in exposure linked to the incident. It would cover user losses. With the invalid transactions now excluded from the main chain, the actual financial impact may be lower. Meanwhile, the team is yet to issue an updated statement. XRP val critiques PoW over Litecoin event A validator from the XRP Ledger commented that Litecoin may have seen conditions similar to a 51% attack. Vet argued Proof of Work is the worst security model because “you’re only as secure as someone else is willing to spend more $ to attack the network than PoW is incentivizing miners.” Vet in a X post stated that networks like Litecoin rely on sufficient hash power to deter attacks. This means that security is closely linked to the value of the underlying asset. He argued the XRP Ledger is built differently. Their consensus algorithm has an absolute final settlement, which means validated blocks are protected and can’t be reorganized. He added that network security doesn’t rely on XRP’s price. The network is as secure with $1 XRP or $1000 XRP, which is very important for a reliable settlement machine. XRP price has dipped marginally over the last 24 hours. XRP is trading at around $1.42 at the press time. Despite the debate, the Litecoin team maintains that the network is now stable. In another post, Vet noted that there was no majority hash rate attack. Instead, it was a bug in Litecoin allowing a window for double spending, not the miner side. Now the interesting part is the 13-block reorganization. The attacker’s double-spend transactions were rolled back by honest miners using essentially the chain reorganization to restore the original state. Alex Shevchenko, in a post, looked over the matter as a zero-day or an inside job. He mentioned that the data shows the attacker was planning to swap LTC into ETH. This was funded 38h ago from Binance. The attacker knew about the bug for some time. He added that the DoS attack was just putting nodes down to decrease the hashrate. There was indeed a bug in the MWEB txs. However, these two are different things. The MWEB bug is a protocol bug, and DoS is just a way to exploit it. DeFi protocols have lost over $750 million to exploits in 2026 through mid-April. This includes the $292 million Kelp DAO bridge drain on April 19. There was another $285 million attack on the Solana-based perpetuals platform Drift on April 1. Cryptopolitan reported how THORChain seems to be becoming a hub for crypto hackers to move funds.
