Cardano's Hoskinson: Crypto Needs New Narrative to Reach $10T
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, believes that the cryptocurrency industry needs to evolve beyond its current focus on faster transactions and cheaper payments. According to him, if crypto wants to attract billions of new users and potentially $10 trillion in capital, it must move forward.
Hoskinson sees agentic commerce as a major opportunity for crypto adoption. He expects AI agents to handle everyday purchases and financial transactions for users, making the technology a part of the economy by 2030.
Midnight is expected to introduce agentic trading before the end of 2026, allowing users to create wallets for their AI agents and provide them with tokens to trade across different platforms. This concept could make blockchain transactions less dependent on direct human involvement.
