Cardano price has been a bit unstable lately, but many long-term holders are still confident. After dropping to around $0.74 following the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates steady, ADA has recovered slightly and is now trading at about $0.78.
Even though it’s still down almost 75% from its all-time high of $3.10 in September 2021, some investors are getting more hopeful.
That hope grew even more after Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson made a bold claim. He said ADA could not only compete with Bitcoin but actually beat it in terms of price growth. According to him, ADA could climb as much as 1,000 times from where it is now. It’s a huge prediction, but it has sparked a lot of conversation in the crypto space.
Charles Hoskinson Thinks ADA Has More Room to Grow Than Bitcoin
Hoskinson believes Bitcoin might not have much room left for big gains. He thinks BTC could rise 10 times from its current price and possibly reach $1 million. If that happens, Bitcoin’s market cap would be around $20 trillion, assuming the total supply stays near 20 million coins.
But he says Cardano has even more potential. In his view, ADA price could jump by 100 to 1,000 times. That means Cardano might not just catch up to Bitcoin, it could actually pass it.
His comments might seem like a stretch, but this isn’t the first time he’s aimed high. His latest prediction has led people to wonder what ADA would be worth if it really did 1,000x from here.

What Would ADA Be Worth If It Went 1,000x?
Right now, ADA is trading at $0.7804. If it climbed 1,000 times, the price would hit $780.40. This figure was shared by The Crypto Basic, which broke down the numbers based on Hoskinson’s prediction.
A jump like that would mean a 99,900% increase. ADA’s current market cap is $27.63 billion. If the price reached $780, that would push its market cap to over $27 trillion. For comparison, Bitcoin’s total market cap is around $2.36 trillion, and BTC is trading at about $118,837.
Even if ADA went up by just 100 times, the price would still be $78.04. That would give it a $2.76 trillion market cap, assuming the supply stays at 35.41 billion tokens.
These numbers seem far off, but they help show what Hoskinson’s vision would look like. For any of this to happen, Cardano would need huge growth in users, adoption, and overall interest.
Could Cardano Actually Pass Bitcoin?
Most traders don’t expect Cardano to overtake Bitcoin anytime soon. But Hoskinson’s view is based on what Cardano is still building. He says Bitcoin is done growing in terms of features, while Cardano is still expanding. It is working on things like smart contracts, on-chain governance, and real-world uses.

To reach the kinds of prices Hoskinson is talking about, ADA would need support from global users, big investors, and more development. For now, Bitcoin is still the largest crypto by price and market cap. But people like Hoskinson are trying to shift that story.
