Cardano founder predicts which coins will be the leaders of growth this cycle
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson expressed strong confidence that ADA, Ethereum, and XRP will lead the current crypto cycle.
Speaking on the Gokhstein Media podcast on February 13, he highlighted that the emerging institution-based cycle is poised to reduce volatility and foster stability in a market battered by recent shocks.
Institutional Cycle Boosts Fundamentals
Hoskinson noted that the crypto market experienced its first institution-driven cycle following a downturn on February 3, when tariffs announced by former President Donald Trump triggered $2.3 billion in liquidations across 700,000 leveraged traders. Despite the turmoil, the market rebounded within two days—a recovery starkly different from the prolonged crashes witnessed during the FTX and LUNA incidents.
He emphasized that institutional investors are now focusing on what he called “dinosaur coins,” such as ADA, ETH, and XRP, which have shown significant improvement, particularly in Q4 2024. Prominent trader DonAlt echoed this view, stressing that investors should concentrate on projects with robust fundamentals rather than chasing hyped trends, as the market now includes approximately 33 million tokens—a tenfold increase over previous cycles.
ETFs, Regulation, and the Road Ahead
Hoskinson also pointed to Bitcoin as the eventual long-term winner, predicting that increased state-level adoption could push Bitcoin’s price to at least $250,000 per coin. He noted that ETFs are likely to play a critical role in shaping market trends, with Bitcoin ETFs attracting about $10 billion in inflows this year.
If funds begin flowing into altcoin ETFs for assets like XRP or ADA, this could further drive buying pressure on these core assets. Moreover, Hoskinson believes that forthcoming regulatory changes—especially those addressing stablecoin policies and token classifications—may trigger the next bull run, though he cautioned that rapid market variations are expected as new rules take effect.
As the market evolves, the focus on strong, fundamental projects appears to be setting the stage for a more sustainable investment environment in the crypto space. Investors and analysts alike will be watching closely to see whether these trends solidify into lasting shifts in market dynamics.
