Cardano’s ADA token takes a 6.01% tumble to $0.6412 as the market reacts to both macro volatility and a heated governance debate over a proposed $100 million treasury allocation aimed at strengthening the DeFi ecosystem. 😲
On Wednesday, the TapTools team asked its followers on X what they think about the idea of deploying 140 million ADA (around $100 million) to provide liquidity for stablecoins like USDM and help power Cardano’s growing decentralized finance sector.
Not everyone is on board. Influential account @cardano_whale argued that introducing 140 million ADA in sell pressure under current market conditions would be damaging. He acknowledged the potential long-term DeFi benefit but warned that governance proposals are typically front-run by traders, meaning any public plan to sell ADA at $0.70 might end with that supply being sold at $0.50. Instead, he favored minting crypto-backed stablecoins like ObyUSD to avoid direct selling pressure.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson pushed back strongly, calling the sell pressure concerns a “false narrative.” In his view, the treasury could convert the 140 million ADA gradually over-the-counter or through algorithmic execution strategies like time-weighted average price (TWAP) orders to avoid market disruption. He emphasized that Cardano’s lack of stablecoin depth is holding the ecosystem back, and this initiative could not only address that gap but also generate sustainable, non-inflationary revenue for the treasury.
The community remains divided. While some see it as a bold step to finally give Cardano DeFi a stable foundation, others view the plan as premature, particularly given current market weakness and ADA’s inability to hold above $0.68. The debate has become a litmus test for how Cardano balances long-term growth with near-term token economics.
