Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson predicts that decentralized finance (DeFi) on the Bitcoin network will surpass all other cryptocurrency ecosystems within the next two to three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a YouTube video \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>posted on November 27, Hoskinson emphasized Bitcoin's potential in DeFi while making an ambitious price prediction and outlining a new approach to bridging BTC without relying on centralized exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI started in the Bitcoin space and I loved Bitcoin. Bitcoin has been a big part of my life, and the only reason I\u2019m here today is because Bitcoin exists,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on early challenges with Bitcoin, Hoskinson noted its transformation: \u201cBitcoin went from a sleeping giant never to awaken in an innovation coma, to an awakened giant that is four times the size of Solana and Ethereum combined,\u201d he said. He predicted: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cDeFi in the Bitcoin ecosystem will eclipse DeFi in all ecosystems in the cryptocurrency industry within 24 months to 36 months, and that\u2019s just because of scale and liquidity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Hoskinson also highlighted the growing interest from governments considering Bitcoin for strategic reserves<\/a>, asserting that BTC is their primary gateway into the crypto space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is my belief that Bitcoin is going to go to $250,000 to $500,000 within the next 12 to 24 months because of the investment inflows and the great interest that has been achieved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling Bitcoin the \u201cstore of value for the internet,\u201d Hoskinson argued it will maintain that role, particularly with its new DeFi capabilities. He described a model for enabling DeFi on Bitcoin via Cardano\u2019s network, calling it \u201cDeFi mode.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this feature, users can bridge Bitcoin into a wrapped token on Cardano. This allows Bitcoin holders to engage in DeFi ecosystems<\/a>, trade on decentralized exchanges, access yield-bearing instruments, and retain custody of their private keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October, a development team supporting Cardano introduced the Grail protocol, which enables a Cardano-Bitcoin bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protocol's specifications suggest that this bridge could serve as a foundation for DeFi applications secured by Bitcoin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
