Bitcoin Price Decline Challenges Cardano Founder’s $250,000 Prediction

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson previously predicted Bitcoin could reach $250,000 this year, based on favorable international negotiations and the GENIUS Act. However, market realities have cast doubt on this forecast.

Bitcoin Market Analysis

  • Bitcoin reached $126,000 in mid-October but has since declined to approximately $89,300, a nearly 30% drop from recent highs.
  • The broader crypto market lost over $1 trillion in market cap due to investor selling pressure and significant outflows from Bitcoin ETFs.
  • Jacob King, Swandesk CEO, criticized Hoskinson’s target as unrealistic, suggesting a new bear market cycle.
