Cardano has entered the spotlight again after Charles Hoskinson suggested the next bull run could push ADA well beyond its previous highs. In a livestream on 17 June, the founder argued that a wave of capital inflows within six to nine months could drive ADA toward the coveted $5 mark, even hinting at possibilities far higher.
Those remarks arrived as daily volume slipped and price action settled near $0.60, leaving traders to ask whether the fundamentals support such an explosive move.
Behind the headlines, on-chain data reveal that whales are quietly stacking tokens. Roughly $932 million worth of ADA has left centralized exchanges since January, mirroring the supply squeeze that preceded Cardano’s 2021 peak. With sentiment gradually turning risk-on, some investors are also scanning for alternatives.
One project that keeps cropping up in private chats is Remittix, a PayFi solution designed for friction-free cross-border payments—an idea very different from Cardano’s layer-1 ambitions but appealing to those seeking real-world utility.
Whale Accumulation Signals Confidence
Large holders have scooped up more than 310 million ADA since 12 June, a buying spree worth close to $190 million at current prices. These address clusters, each controlling at least one million coins, historically appear before impulsive upside moves.
At the same time, the Cardano treasury debate has intensified. Hoskinson’s proposal to convert $100 million in ADA into Bitcoin and stablecoins—then recycle the yield into annual buybacks—aims to boost DeFi liquidity without draining core reserves.
Critics worry the sale itself could pressure prices, but supporters argue that a yield-generating fund would ultimately reduce circulating supply and strengthen long-term token economics.
Founder’s $5 Vision Faces Market Hurdles
Despite whale optimism, the Cardano chart still shows a grinding consolidation. As of 19 June, ADA trades near $0.60 after shedding almost 3% in 24 hours. Momentum indicators are neutral: RSI on the daily is around 46, and MACD lines are flat.
Bulls need to re-take the $0.75 resistance level to confirm a reversal of trend; otherwise, a drop to the 200-day moving average level of approximately $0.55 is likely. Hoskinson’s bold $5 target assumes a multibillion-dollar inflow once macro conditions flip. Yet even if ADA only retests its 2021 high, that would still imply a fivefold jump from current levels.
For traders less comfortable with such time horizons, measurable adoption metrics often carry more weight than distant price projections—hence the growing curiosity about newer payment-focused platforms that are already onboarding users.
ADA Builds a Base While Remittix Grabs Early Attention
Cardano remains one of crypto’s most resilient layer-1 networks, and sustained whale accumulation suggests insiders believe Hoskinson’s roadmap could eventually push ADA toward $5. Still, technical headwinds and macro uncertainty mean the timeline may stretch longer than retail traders prefer.
Meanwhile, Remittix is quietly gathering momentum by solving immediate payment bottlenecks, offering a contrasting path to value creation. For investors balancing patience with opportunity, watching how Cardano executes its treasury strategy—and how Remittix scales its PayFi model—could define the next phase of their portfolios.
