\"Why<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has responded to growing questions about why ADA\u2019s price is not rising, even as excitement builds around Midnight ($NIGHT), a new Cardano-linked project that recently surged in popularity.<\/p>\n

This week, $NIGHT topped CoinGecko\u2019s list of most trending cryptocurrencies, briefly outperforming major names like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana in online interest. Reacting to the milestone, Hoskinson said the project is \u201cjust getting started\u201d and called Midnight the first Cardano-native asset to trend above Bitcoin and Ethereum.<\/p>\n

Hoskinson says Midnight could play a big role across the crypto ecosystem. He said adding Midnight to XRP-based DeFi could challenge traditional banks, while connecting it to Bitcoin could help unlock the vision Satoshi Nakamoto originally imagined. For Cardano itself, he said Midnight could supercharge DeFi, potentially increasing users, transactions, and total value locked by ten times through large-scale private DeFi.<\/p>\n

He described this phase as the arrival of a \u201cfourth generation\u201d of blockchain technology.<\/p>\n

Why Isn\u2019t ADA Price Rising?<\/h3>\n

Despite the positive news, ADA\u2019s price remains weak. One community member directly asked Hoskinson why Cardano\u2019s price is not moving, even with strong developments and growing attention.<\/p>\n

Because there is no mojo left in the cryptocurrency markets, value extractors and persistent scams, hacks, bad news, and manipulation have left them broken, brittle, and angry. <\/p>\n

It’s going to take a few months of cooling off for them to recover<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hoskinson gave a blunt answer. He said the wider crypto market has lost momentum after years of scams, hacks, bad actors, manipulation, and negative headlines. According to him, markets are currently \u201cbroken, brittle, and angry,\u201d and need time to cool down before real value can return.<\/p>\n

He added that it could take several months for confidence to rebuild.<\/p>\n

Where ADA Stands Now<\/h3>\n

At the time of writing, ADA is trading below $0.40, though it has gained around 3% in the last 24 hours. Still, the token has been hit hard compared to earlier cycles.<\/p>\n

ADA remains in a clear downtrend, with no strong signs of a major reversal yet. A meaningful recovery would require Cardano to break above resistance levels and show sustained strength, which has not happened so far.<\/p>\n

While ADA\u2019s price action remains disappointing for many holders, Hoskinson\u2019s comments could mean that Cardano\u2019s long-term strategy is focused on infrastructure, privacy, and real utility, not short-term price moves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
