Cardano Founder Dismisses Price Impact from $100M ADA to Stablecoin Conversion
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, has publicly addressed concerns regarding a proposed conversion of 100 million ADA from the Cardano treasury into USDM, a Cardano-native stablecoin. Despite the substantial amount, Hoskinson asserts that such a move is unlikely to have a significant negative impact on ADA's market price, citing robust market depth and strategic conversion methods.
Strategic Move to Bolster DeFi Liquidity
The proposal stems from an initiative to enhance on-chain liquidity and significantly boost the Total Value Locked (TVL) within Cardano's decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. With the Cardano treasury holding approximately 1.7 billion ADA, worth over $650 million, Hoskinson suggested deploying a portion of these idle funds—specifically, 100 million ADA (roughly $70 million based on current prices)—to mint USDM. This strategic conversion aims to establish a self-sustaining funding loop, where generated yields from providing liquidity could be reinvested to acquire more ADA for the treasury, fostering continuous growth and attracting more users and developers.
Why the Price Won't Be Impacted
Addressing community apprehension about potential sell pressure, Hoskinson highlighted that the weekly trading volume for ADA routinely reaches billions of dollars. He firmly believes that "a $100 million sale would not move the market significantly" when executed through carefully managed mechanisms like Over-The-Counter (OTC) deals and Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) strategies. These methods are designed to minimize market disruption by spreading large orders over time and executing them outside of public exchanges. He also pointed to the relatively low stablecoin market cap to TVL ratio on Cardano compared to other major ecosystems like Ethereum and Solana, underscoring the need for increased stablecoin utility.
Fostering Ecosystem Growth and Confidence
Hoskinson's confidence is rooted in the belief that strong buy-side demand, driven by increasing participation and conviction in Cardano's DeFi capabilities, would readily absorb such a conversion. This strategic financial maneuver aims to inject much-needed stablecoin liquidity, stimulate market-making activities, and overall accelerate the growth and adoption of applications within the Cardano ecosystem without causing adverse price volatility for ADA holders.
