Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has hinted that a significant price increase for ADA could potentially silence the network’s critics. Cardano has been dealing with persistent fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) as ADA has struggled to surpass $1 since April 2022. Analysts are speculating on a possible price surge, with one predicting ADA could reach $0.50 by the end of October.
Hoskinson’s remarks come in response to ongoing criticism, with detractors labeling Cardano as “dead” or a “low integrity” project, largely due to ADA’s stagnant price performance. The closest ADA has come to breaking the $1 mark in the past two years was a brief rise to $0.80 in March.
Hoskinson’s suggestion that a price pump could quiet these criticisms underscores the close connection between a token’s value and the perception of its underlying project in the cryptocurrency space. This raises broader questions about how market performance influences the credibility of blockchain projects.

As this debate continues, market analysts are speculating on potential factors that could drive ADA’s price up. One notable prediction from analyst Dam Gambardello suggests ADA might reach $0.50 by the end of October, a 29% increase from its current levels. - Despite the skepticism, Hoskinson remains optimistic, emphasizing Cardano’s ongoing development, particularly its new governance system in the Voltaire era, as a major factor for future growth and adoption. He argues that much of the criticism stems from misunderstood roadmaps and growth strategies, which he believes will be addressed with the new governance model.
