<p>In a surprising turn of events, <strong>Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson</strong> recently revised his stance on <strong>Bitcoin</strong>. After initially expressing doubts about Bitcoin’s role in the future of finance, Hoskinson now suggests that the <strong>BTC DeFi market</strong> may outgrow both Solana and Ethereum. This shift comes just two months after his controversial statements claiming “Bitcoin isn’t needed,” and “I don’t see how Bitcoin will survive.” What’s behind this change of heart?</p>

<p>Cardano’s blockchain recently integrated a <strong>BitcoinOS Grail bridge</strong>, connecting it to the Bitcoin network and opening up decentralized finance (DeFi) possibilities for the world’s largest asset class. Hoskinson followed up by announcing plans to revive the Bitcoin Education Project in 2025. He’s also set to offer Aiken training for BTC developers using resources hosted on <strong>Hyperledger Identus</strong> via GitHub. This expansion suggests that Cardano sees potential in a cross-chain future, where Bitcoin can thrive within the DeFi ecosystem.</p>

<p>Hoskinson hinted at the potential for Bitcoin developers to leverage <strong>Babel fees</strong> to create hybrid Cardano-Bitcoin applications. This setup would allow transaction fees to be paid in Bitcoin, fostering a new use case for BTC within DeFi. Hoskinson believes this bridge could catalyze Bitcoin’s entry into <a href="https://thebitjournal.com/avalanche-creating-a-path-for-defi-cryptos-to-top-the-market-cutoshi-contributes-by-dominating-the-meme-utility-space/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeFi</a>, even surpassing both <strong>Solana</strong> and <strong>Ethereum</strong> in the long run.</p> 
<h2 id="bitcoin-needs-to-adapt-says-hoskinson">Bitcoin Needs to Adapt, Says Hoskinson</h2> 
<p>Hoskinson’s previous statements on Bitcoin, where he criticized BTC’s role in the crypto landscape, sparked widespread debate. He claimed, “Bitcoin needs the sector to survive… but the sector doesn’t need Bitcoin. I don’t see how it will survive; it’s a religion, not an ecosystem.” However, his recent comments signal a pivot, now suggesting that Bitcoin’s evolution towards DeFi could solidify its relevance.</p>

<h2 id="future-prospects-cardano-s-path-ahead-of-ethereum-and-bitcoin">Future Prospects: Cardano’s Path Ahead of Ethereum and Bitcoin?</h2> 
<p>Hoskinson has repeatedly hinted that <strong>Cardano</strong> could eventually outpace both <strong>Bitcoin</strong> and <strong>Ethereum</strong> within the next decade. During the recent Cardano summit in Argentina, he boldly predicted that his blockchain would become the industry leader as more governments develop their own infrastructure on Cardano’s model. The Bit Journal has covered Hoskinson’s assertions that Cardano’s technology surpasses its competitors, a confidence that seems to fuel his ambitious vision.</p>

<p>Currently ranked as the eleventh-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, <strong>ADA</strong>’s ascent to the top may seem improbable, especially with Bitcoin and Ethereum maintaining dominant positions. Still, Hoskinson’s conviction remains unshaken, believing Cardano’s superior technology will eventually triumph. With each bold statement, Hoskinson continues to challenge the status quo in a sector known for rapid evolution.</p>
