Cardano Price Prediction: ADA Founder Breaks Silence With Huge 2026 Forecast – Here’s What You Need to Know
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson appeared on a podcast on January 1 and said it will be a good year for ADA and Midnight.
“Cardano may have the best year it has ever had,” Hoskinson predicts for 2026. This does not necessarily mean in terms of price. He was mainly referring to the ecosystem.
Hoskinson emphasized that those who are focused only on Cardano’s price in 2026 “have already lost.” According to him, real progress only happens if the market matures and the industry grows up and starts changing things.
During the same podcast, Hoskinson also announced that he is leaving his X account, saying he is stepping away and locking in.
Cardano Price Prediction: Ecosystem Growth Can Still Pump The Price
Analysts have tipped Bitcoin DeFi, the Midnight launch, the Ouroboros Leios upgrade, and several other rollouts as key drivers of Cardano’s growth.
The Linear Leios CIP, aimed at increasing transaction throughput, has now been merged, and all CIP process criteria have been met or exceeded.
This marks another significant step forward for Cardano’s scaling efforts and brings the network closer to the full Leios upgrade.
Source: ADAUSD / TradingViewCardano started the year strong and is up 20% over the last 7 days. At the time of writing, it has reclaimed the $0.40 psychological level, although likely only temporarily.
The broader market still looks weak, and Bitcoin was rejected again at $94K and is currently holding around $91K. This could pressure ADA and lead to a pullback toward the next support at $0.38, which is a must-hold level to keep the bullish structure intact.
If price revisits that zone and bounces, the bullish scenario remains valid, and ADA could push higher to test resistance at $0.43, followed by the next level near $0.48.
SUBBD Is Quietly Building While the Market Looks Elsewhere
While most traders are glued to charts and short-term price moves. SUBBD is focused on something more durable: creator monetization and real utility.
Instead of relying on ads, algorithms, or centralized platforms. SUBBD gives creators direct ownership of their audience and income through Web3 subscriptions.
The project has already raised $1.4M and currently offers a 20% APY. This has helped attract early supporters looking for yield backed by an actual product, not just speculation.
SUBBD is positioning itself as a Web3 alternative to platforms like Patreon and OnlyFans. But with crypto-native payments, transparent rewards, and creator-first economics.
As the market matures and narratives shift away from pure hype toward projects that generate real value. Platforms like SUBBD tend to gain attention later rather than sooner.
It is still early. But for investors looking beyond price action and toward long-term adoption, SUBBD is one of those names quietly worth keeping on the radar.
