Cardano is considering an unconventional move: investing a portion of its treasury into a portfolio that includes Bitcoin and USD-pegged tokens. The idea, outlined by founder Charles Hoskinson, aims to address the network’s scarce stablecoin liquidity. By swapping about 1/10th of its treasury ($100M) for liquid assets, Cardano hopes to create a sovereign-style fund earning an estimated 5-10% annually.
Supporters argue this move will attract more yield-hunters and improve the network’s attractiveness. However, skeptics worry that unloading ADA might negatively impact its price. Hoskinson counters that the trade could be executed slowly with minimal slippage.
A draft governance framework is circulating among core teams, which will likely surface at the Rare Evo conference later this year. If approved, Cardano’s treasury could transform into an actively managed fund supporting future decentralized apps.
This move marks a significant shift in Cardano’s strategy as it integrates NFTs more meaningfully into its ecosystem. The Financial Stability Board is also keeping a close eye on crypto’s growing presence in global finance.
Additionally, JPMorgan has lowered its oil price forecast for 2026 to $58 per barrel, and Binance has expanded its operations into Syria, taking advantage of recent policy shifts.
