Cardano’s Hoskinson Defends $100M ADA-to-USDM Treasury Conversion Against Market Concerns
- Charles Hoskinson defends the proposal to convert 140 million ADA tokens to USDM stablecoin through over-the-counter trades and time-weighted average price mechanisms.
- The plan aims to address stablecoin liquidity shortages in Cardano's DeFi ecosystem and generate 5-10% annual returns.
- Cardano's 9.65% stablecoin-to-TV ratio is significantly lower than Ethereum's 195.3% and Solana's 127.4%.
- Decentralized Representatives express concerns about market impact from the proposed token conversion.
- Concerns include unsustainable selling pressure and potential market value depression of ADA.
- Alternative solutions presented involve minting crypto-backed stablecoins to inject liquidity without direct ADA sales.
- Hoskinson dismisses worries about market impact by highlighting ADA's significant weekly trading volumes.
- Sophisticated trading mechanisms like OTC transactions and TWAP execution are proposed to minimize price volatility during the conversion.
- Cardano's stablecoin metrics reveal room for improvement in stablecoin utility within the ecosystem.
- Community members criticize Hoskinson's assertion that large-scale conversions can occur without price impact, citing general cryptocurrency market behavior.
- Hoskinson remains confident in Cardano DeFi's growth potential to absorb the treasury conversion without negative price effects.
- Addressing criticisms, Hoskinson emphasizes strategic timing and proper execution mechanisms to manage the conversion and support ecosystem development.
