That Mean for Cardano Holders Now?\" decoding=\"async\"  ><\/p>\n<p>The Cardano price <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/coins\/cardano\/\">has risen to $0.3931<\/a> today, after founder Charles Hoskinson revealed in an interview that his portfolio has declined in value by $2.5 billion in the past four years.<\/p>\n<p>ADA is up by 1.5% in the past 24 hours, and while it is down by 6% in the past week, it holds onto a 10% return in the past fortnight.<\/p>\n<p>Hoskinson\u2019s revelation of a $2.5 billion loss coincides with ADA\u2019s 57% decline in the last 12 months, with the Cardano founder suggesting that the Trump administration\u2019s crypto policy \u2013 and in particular the Official Trump meme coin \u2013 has actually had a negative effect overall on market growth.<\/p>\n<p>However, Hoskinson\u2019s interview also provides a strong reminder of Cardano\u2019s fundamentals and future potential, with <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/price-predictions\/cardano-price-prediction\/\">Cardano price prediction<\/a> for this year and beyond looking very promising as a result.<\/p>\n<h2><span

What Does That Mean for Cardano Holders Now?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Speaking on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6bfYKc-HxUY&#038;t\" target=\"_blank\">The Wolf of All Streets podcast<\/a>, Charles Hoskinson argued that the second Trump administration has transformed crypto into a heavily partisan issue, implying that the Democrats may be likely to clamp down stringently on crypto if and when they come back into power.<\/p>\n<p>He also argued that many of the crypto-related actions taken by the Trump administration in its early months were mainly tokenistic (no pun intended), and didn\u2019t meaningfully help the market or industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo there was a misunderstanding of how the government works, how the industry works, and it just became this popularity contest,\u201d he said. \u201cWho donated the most money to get access to basically be able to take a picture at the White House or with the President, as opposed to, like, what\u2019s good for the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And without truly significant cryptocurrency policy, retail investors ended up losing money again, Hoskinson argues, despite a bull rally in November and December of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Hoskinson also admitted that he hasn\u2019t escaped losses in recent months and years, telling Scott Melker, \u201cI\u2019ve lost $2.5 billion over the past four years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet despite this negativity, Hoskinson provided an encouraging review of Cardano\u2019s development and growth, predicting that the layer-one network would see a \u201chuge growth\u201d in its DeFi ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>And if we look at the Cardano price chart today, we see that things are currently looking very hopeful.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\"

descending pennant it has traded within since the summer, indicating a new growth phase.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardano price prediction is therefore very bullish, with the altcoin likely to reach $0.50 by the end of January and $0.75 by Q2, before topping $1 by H2.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"h-subbd-raises-1-4-million-in-presale-could-it-be-the-next-coin-to-100x\">SUBBD Raises $1.4 Million in Presale: Could It Be the Next Coin to 100x?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As promising as ADA looks right now, many traders may also want to diversify into newer tokens, since these can outpace the market during their initial growth spurts.<\/p>\n<p>This is also the case with presale coins, which can generate enough momentum during their sales to rally strongly once they list.<\/p>\n<p>One of the more interesting coins holding its presale right now is <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/ext\/subbd-token\/\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">SUBBD ($SUBBD), an ERC-20 token<\/a> that has raised just over $1.4 million in its ICO.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>SUBBD is preparing to launch a content creation platform that will put creators in the driving seat, providing them with AI-based tools in order to help them become more productive and profitable.<\/p>\n<p>Its AI tools can help users generate ideas and content, including posts, images and videos, as well as the performers featured in such media.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the use of crypto ensures that payouts to creators will be transparent and automatic, giving the new platform an edge over existing offerings.<\/p>\n<p>And because SUBBD will be necessary to pay subscriptions to creator channels, demand for the new token could be quite high.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3644\" height=\"1752\" alt=\"SUBBD token benefits
