Charles Hoskinson's proposal to use 140 million ADA (~$100 million) from the Cardano treasury to buy BTC and Cardano-native stablecoins (USDM, USDA, iUSD). The goal is to stimulate the growth of the DeFi ecosystem. 

📉 Market reaction

After the announcement, ADA dropped about 6%, moving within $0.62–0.65, with support around $0.64. 

💬 Arguments 'for'

• Increased liquidity: the influx of BTC and stablecoins could strengthen DeFi on Cardano and generate treasury income.

• Long-term potential: supporters see this step as a path to network maturity.

⚠️ Arguments 'against'

• Price pressure: critics warn that a mass sell-off of ADA could trigger a drop to $0.50–0.60. 

• Governance concerns: there is worry that decisions are made from the top down and are not sufficiently transparent.

📊 Technical and fundamental facts

• Cardano's TVL remains low (~$356 million), with only $31 million in stablecoin — compared to Solana, which has $11 billion.

• Nasdaq Crypto Index added ADA on June 10 → price increased by ~3% before the crash.

• Whales are accumulating: large holders are consolidating positions — about 170 million ADA.

🧭 Summary

• Positive expectations: increased liquidity that could support DeFi development.

• Risks: potential short-term price shock and a crisis of trust in the community's voice.

📌 What to watch next

1. Sell-off wave – track the volume of ADA sales from the treasury.

2. Community mood/voting Voltaire – will there be support for the proposal?

3. Price range – holding the support level of $0.62–$0.65 = key to stabilization, a breakout to $0.70 will change the tone.
