Cardano DeFi and ADA Holders
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, defended the network's decentralized finance ecosystem, citing user behavior issues as a reason for its low total value locked (TVL).
Hoskinson acknowledged the gap in DeFi activity between Cardano and leading blockchains like Ethereum and Solana, but argued that the numbers do not reflect the network's broader participation and governance strength.
No one's ever made the argument and explained how the existence of one of these larger stablecoins is magically going to make Cardano's entire DeFi problem go away, make the price go up, massively improve our MAUs, our TVL, and all these other things.
Hoskinson also pushed back on the idea that introducing major stablecoins like USDT or USDC would automatically transform Cardano's DeFi ecosystem.
