Cardano founder<a href="https://captainaltcoin.com/cardano-price-news-hoskinson-says-bitcoins-frozen-governance-is-its-biggest-vulnerability/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Charles Hoskinson has pushed back </a>against criticism from Ark Invest’s Director of Research, Lorenzo Valente, over the blockchain’s continued relevance.Valente argued that the industry hurts its own credibility by continuing to spotlight Cardano and Hoskinson at conferences, podcasts, and sponsored events. The implication was clear: Cardano is no longer relevant enough to deserve the attention it receives.Hoskinson dismissed the remarks, saying they reflected personal bias rather than an objective assessment of Cardano. The clash shows the ongoing divide between Cardano supporters and critics, with Ark Invest’s comments adding fuel to the debate.This is not the first time Ark Invest has been critical of Cardano. The firm has consistently favored other blockchain projects. But Valente’s comments struck a nerve with the Cardano community, which remains one of the most loyal in crypto.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Cardano Clash Erupts Between Hoskinson And Ark Invest Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson (<a href="https://x.com/IOHK_Charles?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@IOHK_Charles</a>) has pushed back against criticism from Ark Invest's Director of Research, Lorenzo Valente, over the blockchain's continued relevance.

The token is stabilizing near the&nbsp;$0.163 support level identified by analysts. A breakout above $0.20&nbsp;is seen as critical for confirming a bullish reversal toward&nbsp;$0.23.The<a href="https://captainaltcoin.com/heres-where-will-cardano-ada-price-could-go-this-week/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> weekly ADA chart remains</a> bearish, with price trapped in a long-term downtrend channel. However, the stabilization at $0.163 is the first sign that selling pressure may be easing.The Cardano Foundation and Toto Finance joined Lava Network’s Energy Tokenization Sandbox, launching next week. This initiative researches using blockchain for energy trade and settlement, a move into real-world asset (RWA) innovation.This is a big news for Cardano’s RWA narrative. Energy tokenization is a growing sector, and Cardano’s involvement signals that the network is positioning itself for institutional adoption.<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/6a668b97457d0435713b77bc/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Hashdex restructured </a>the staking rewards for its Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF (NCIQ). A new “Sponsor Share” receives 100% of net staking income up to 0.25% of the fund’s Net Asset Value (NAV). Only income above that threshold is split 60% to common shareholders and 40% to the sponsor.Cardano is a stakable asset in the fund, though it constitutes only&nbsp;0.49%&nbsp;of holdings as of July 24. The restructuring is positive for the fund’s structure but does not materially impact ADA’s price.Overall, I think the clash between Hoskinson and Ark Invest is more than just a Twitter debate. It shows the broader skepticism that Cardano faces from institutional players. Ark Invest’s criticism is not new, but it carries weight because the firm is a respected name in the investment community.Hoskinson’s dismissal of the remarks as “personal bias” is a standard defense. But the reality is that Cardano’s adoption and developer activity still lag behind competitors like Ethereum and Solana. The RWA innovation and ETF restructuring are positive steps, but they are not enough to shift the narrative.For Cardano to prove its critics wrong, the network needs to deliver tangible results. The $0.163 support is holding for now, but a breakout above $0.20 is needed to confirm a trend reversal.Subscribe to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Captain-Altcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">our YouTube channel</a> for daily crypto updates, market insights, and expert analysis.<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><iframe title="2026 Crypto Card Ranking — Massive CHANGES Nobody Expected!" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gVOD-NjXLDo?feature=oembed"></iframe></div></figure>The post <a href="https://captainaltcoin.com/cardano-news-clash-erupts-between-hoskinson-and-ark-invest-over-adas-relevance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cardano News: Clash Erupts Between Hoskinson and Ark Invest Over ADA’s Relevance</a> appeared first on <a href="https://captainaltcoin.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CaptainAltcoin</a>.
