Charles Hoskinson clarified that ADA managed by IOG is private profit, while the Cardano Foundation holds responsibility for funding ecosystem initiatives.
Hoskinson mentioned that IOG's ADA was earned as profit from building Cardano since its founding in 2015.
The Cardano Foundation previously declined a $3 million opportunity to integrate USDC despite managing assets worth $2 billion at the time.
Stablecoin providers hesitate to support Cardano due to its limited decentralized applications and transaction volume.
