Charles Hoskinson, Co-founder of Cardano [ADA], captured attention this week with a bold Bitcoin price prediction. In a recent video, he stated that BTC could soar to between $250,000 and $500,000 within the next 12 to 24 months. Hoskinson attributed this forecast to growing investment inflows and rising interest in Bitcoin.
Hoskinson also outlined an ambitious vision for Bitcoin’s role in decentralized finance (DeFi). He predicts Bitcoin’s DeFi ecosystem will surpass all others in the next two to three years, thanks to its scale and liquidity.
“DeFi in the Bitcoin ecosystem will eclipse DeFi in all ecosystems in the cryptocurrency industry,” Hoskinson declared, emphasizing Bitcoin’s potential as a “store of value for the internet” enhanced by DeFi capabilities.
To address Bitcoin’s lack of native DeFi functionalities, Hoskinson proposed leveraging Cardano’s network. This approach involves wrapping Bitcoin tokens on Cardano, enabling users to trade on decentralized exchanges, participate in DeFi ecosystems, and access yield-bearing instruments while retaining control over their private keys.
By bridging Bitcoin to DeFi, Hoskinson aims to expand its versatility and cement its role in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape. His vision positions Bitcoin not just as a store of value but as a dynamic player in the DeFi space.
