Cardano Clash 2025: $100M Treasury Plan Sparks Debate, ADA Drops 6%

On June 13, Cardano (ADA) fell nearly 6%, slipping to $0.64, as its community clashed over a controversial $100 million proposal. The plan? Use funds from Cardano’s treasury to boost stablecoin liquidity. Founder Charles Hoskinson is backing the move, suggesting a gradual release of 140 million ADA — possibly via OTC (over-the-counter) deals or smart contract-based distribution — to avoid shocking the market.

But not everyone’s convinced. Critics argue that even a slow rollout could add selling pressure, especially with ADA trading near the tough resistance level of $0.70. Some fear it could hurt ADA’s momentum just as other altcoins — like SOL and XRP — try to reclaim market share.

This isn’t just a money move — it’s a philosophical flashpoint. Once again, Cardano’s methodical, research-first strategy is being compared to Ethereum’s faster, developer-driven DeFi growth. While ETH dominates the smart contract space, Cardano is still carving out its role in governance and real-world use.

Meanwhile, broader crypto markets are buzzing:

BTC holds firm above $67K, staying king of the hill.

ETH eyes scaling improvements ahead of its Pectra upgrade.

SOL continues to ride high on memecoin hype.

XRP flirts with regulatory clarity but struggles with price action.

TRUMPUSDT (yes, the meme token) surges amid election-year buzz.

USDT and USDC remain dominant stablecoins, with Cardano aiming to carve a space for its own.

BNB rebounds despite ongoing regulatory shadows.

DEXE (DeXe Protocol) gains traction in DAO governance — something Cardano is deeply involved in via its upcoming Voltaire era.

This debate goes beyond stablecoins. It's about identity: Should Cardano stay slow, careful, and academic? Or should it take bolder moves to compete in today’s fast-moving crypto world?

The outcome will signal whether the Cardano community is aligned — or facing a deeper divide over its future.
