Cardano vs Bitcoin: ADA’s 90% Surge Outpaces BTC’s 70% Gain
Cardano’s ADA has surged 90% in the past year, outperforming Bitcoin’s 70% gain, according to founder Charles Hoskinson. He reveals that early backers converted 108,000 BTC (now worth ~$13B) into building Cardano’s network, which now boasts a $30B market cap—2.8x the value of the original BTC reserve.
