Cardano Founder Calls for Unity in Crypto Industry Amid Global Challenges
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, has called for unity within the cryptocurrency community in response to Operation Chokepoint 2.0, a global initiative targeting the crypto industry through debanking, audits, and fines. He emphasized that resolving internal conflicts is essential for overcoming these challenges and achieving mainstream acceptance.
In a November 30 post on X (formerly Twitter), Hoskinson addressed his previous criticisms of other ecosystems such as Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana, advocating for reconciliation. He urged the Cardano community to move past old grievances and collaborate across all crypto platforms. He stated, “Let the comments and opinions of the past go and embrace a full reset of all ecosystems.”
Hoskinson noted that many influencers from competing platforms previously dismissed Cardano but acknowledged a shift in perception as more individuals recognize its potential. He identified tribalism as a significant barrier to widespread adoption and long-term growth.
Looking towards 2025, Hoskinson envisions a unified crypto industry promoting progress and market expansion. He described the next two years as critical for establishing cryptocurrencies as a mainstream financial asset. “We have a window to make crypto mainstream and grow our markets to tens of trillions of dollars of value,” he stated, urging the community to set aside divisions and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
His remarks coincide with the ongoing repercussions of Operation Chokepoint 2.0, which employs aggressive tactics to isolate crypto businesses, causing substantial disruptions. “Many businesses were harassed, fined, audited, and de-platformed,” he remarked.
By prioritizing shared goals and fostering solidarity, Hoskinson believes the crypto industry can navigate external threats and achieve broader adoption. He stressed that only a united front can secure the industry's future and unlock its full potential.
