Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Cardano, joined Discovery Crypto to discuss his thoughts about the state of the crypto space, what current developments in the industry suggest, and the network’s future as the \u201cTaylor Swift of Blockchains.\u201d<\/p>\n
The recent interview<\/a> sparked a discussion about Cardano\u2019s relationship with crypto exchanges like Gemini and other figures in the crypto industry, as the interviewers suggested there appears to be a \u201ccoordinated effort to minimize Cardano\u2019s impact.\u201d<\/p>\n During this discussion, Charles Hoskinson noted that most players in the crypto space seem to “fear” Cardano for \u201cdoing everything right\u201d since the beginning. Hoskinson listed factors like liquid staking and its growth without Venture Capital (VC) funding as crucial elements that make Cardano \u201cpretty scary.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked why stablecoins like USDC are not on the Cardano blockchain, it was highlighted that the reason is neither economical nor technical. Instead, the conversation indicates a seeming \u201clack of a strong desire to engage\u201d with the blockchain and its projects.<\/p>\n Following the discussion, Hoskinson expressed his thoughts and concerns on asset-backed stablecoins, affirming that he doesn\u2019t like them and they \u201care not crypto\u201d despite 80-90% of the real money velocity and value transactions that happen on-chain being done through them.<\/p>\n The Cardano founder considers the highly centralized state of asset-backed stablecoins as a concerning matter, as they grant control over the crypto space to a few entities:<\/p>\n At the end of the day, they\u2019re controlled by centralized entities, and the problem when you look at asset-backed stablecoins connect them to CEXs, centralized exchanges, they have gargantuan and enormous control and now we have a new actor, ETFs, and a huge amount of control over crypto. So, 10 companies now basically control the cryptocurrency space.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The current developments of the crypto space are also a matter of concern for Cardano\u2019s founder, with the recent tendencies and developments leaning towards a “road opposite of the original mission for cryptocurrencies: financial freedom.<\/p>\n To Hoskinson, the crypto market is handing \u201csoft power\u201d to a handful of regulated entities that control the value and volume of the crypto industry instead of aiming to take down \u201cbanks and legacy financial systems.\u201d<\/p>\n Cardano\u2019s founder considers asset-backed stablecoins inevitable and highlighted that Cardano \u201cis not looped into that, but eventually it will happen.\u201d<\/p>\n However, he believed addressing his concerns was necessary as they weren\u2019t \u201ccompatible with the long-term cryptocurrencies being decentralized\u201d and would generally affect the industry.<\/p>\n To address this concern, Cardano\u2019s team has extensively researched algorithmic stablecoins, as Hoskinson considers them a potential solution more suitable for the crypto industry.<\/p>\n Lastly, Cardano\u2019s founder closed the interview by comparing American Singer Taylor Swift and the crypto industry<\/a>, jokingly suggesting that compared to the 14th Grammy winner, nobody knows who Charles Hoskinson is.<\/p>\n However, the interviewer pointed out that, like Swift, Cardano could follow a similar trajectory and grow from a smaller and niche artist to a globally recognized and mainstream figure with a significant impact on the world.
