Charles Hoskinson of Cardano proposes converting 140 million ADA to USDM to address low stablecoin liquidity in the DeFi ecosystem.
The proposal aims at improving liquidity on Cardano, which lags behind Ethereum and Solana in terms of stablecoin market capitalization to DeFi TVL ratio.
Hoskinson suggested the conversion to USDM with an annual return of 5% to 10% to fill the liquidity gap, sparking mixed reactions in the Cardano community.
Some community members believe the move could boost DeFi without market disruption, while others, like Whale, fear it could create sell pressure and market downturns.
Hoskinson assured that solutions like OTC or TWAPs could avoid market disruption while enhancing liquidity and revenue for the treasury.
Concerns raised by PlayfulOtter highlight potential market falls triggered by large sell volumes, amidst ADA's recent price declines.
ADA has experienced price drops in various timeframes, with recent falls of 7.5% in 24 hours, 0.67% in seven days, 22.5% in 30 days, and 13% in 90 days.
Despite the declines, analysts suggest a potential rebound for ADA, with predictions of reaching $10 pending factors like approval of spot ADA ETFs by the SEC.
