Cardano's Charles Hoskinson predicts Bitcoin could reach $250,000 to $500,000 in the future, envisioning a $10 trillion economy centered on Bitcoin and emphasizing its role in decentralized finance (DeFi) growth.
Hoskinson discusses Bitcoin's historical journey, from its early years to the present massive user base and global adoption, pointing out the evolution of peer-to-peer transactions and the rise of centralized exchanges in the market.
To improve Bitcoin's DeFi integration, Hoskinson suggests utilizing modular stacks and tools like Lace Wallet, developed by Fairgate and Sundial, to enhance Bitcoin's utility within the DeFi ecosystem while preserving its core principles.
Hoskinson demonstrates DeFi applications using Bitcoin with Lace Wallet at the Las Vegas Bitcoin 2025 Conference, showcasing how assets can be securely managed and swapped between different networks, including plans for potential Bitcoin and Cardano network integration.
