#CardanoDebate ADA Drops 6% as Cardano Community Debates $100M Stablecoin Liquidity Proposal

Cardano’s ADA token declined 6.01% to $0.6412 as the market reacted to both macro volatility and a heated governance debate over a proposed $100 million treasury allocation aimed at strengthening the DeFi ecosystem.

On Wednesday, the TapTools team asked its followers on X what they think about the idea of deploying 140 million ADA (around $100 million) to provide liquidity for stablecoins like USDM and help power Cardano’s growing decentralized finance sector.

Not everyone is on board. Influential account @cardano_whale argued that introducing 140 million ADA in sell pressure under current market conditions would be damaging. He acknowledged the potential long-term DeFi benefit but warned that governance proposals are typically front-run by traders, meaning any public plan to sell ADA at $0.70 might end with that supply being sold at $0.50.
