Cardano recently reached $0.657, marking its highest price since March 30 and a 138% increase from its year-to-date low. However, the cryptocurrency has since corrected, as ‘BitBoy’ Ben Armstrong recently predicted.
Ben Armstrong, known as BitBoy Crypto, has expressed skepticism about Cardano’s performance in the next bull run. He cited several reasons, including declining user engagement, lagging Total Value Locked (TVL), and a lack of institutional investment.
‘BitBoy’ Ben Armstrong Doubts Cardano’s Shine in Next Bull Run
Ben Armstrong, also known as BitBoy Crypto, has pointed out his doubts over Cardano’s performance when the next bull run occurs. He gave some reasons for his skepticism as well.
First, Cardano is losing its user battle in comparison to other Layer 1 blockchain. Besides this, Cardano is lagging in Total Value Locked, or TVL, compared to its competitors.
The second aspect is that no evidence can prove Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, has any close link to persuading former President Donald Trump. ADA also lacks significant investment by institutional investors- a factor dampening its prospects for a strong performance.
$ADA will do well during this bull run. It’s just not going to outperform the majority of coins I opted for instead
This is what I have said:
1. Losing user/tvl battle vs other L1s
2. Charles does not actually have Trumps ear – zero corroboration
3. No institutional inflow— The BitBoy (@BenArmstrongsX) November 12, 2024
This criticism is milder compared to Armstrong’s stance in July, when he strongly doubted ADA’s long-term potential. He then termed ADA a “dead” asset, one which was not appealing to venture capitalists and one that did not have institutional interest, which for him meant the death of any credible investment in it.
He said ADA might produce returns in the current bull run, but they would likely be smaller compared to other assets.
Armstrong restated this after Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson had declined to engage with him, citing Armstrong’s history of criticism toward ADA.
Cardano’s Impressive 138% Rally: What’s Driving the Surge?
Cardano recently touched $0.657, the highest price since March 30, up 138% from its year-to-date low. The cryptocurrency had entered correction and changed hands at $0.578 at press time, down 12% from this week’s high. It also recorded $14B in transactions within 24 hours that helped boosting its price.
It works within the bigger pullback of major cryptocurrencies, which saw Bitcoin retreat from nearly $90,000 to $86,000.
Investors are taking profits to lock in gains, a common practice after significant rallies, causing the pullback. This pullback has been attributed to profit-taking, which is common when investors want to lock in gains after significant rallies.
Cardano is rallying now for a few reasons. First, its founder, Charles Hoskinson, has shown that cryptocurrency could get more involved in US policy, which many have seen as a reaction to Donald Trump’s election victory. Charles Hoskinson recently confirmed plans to support the US government under Donald Trump to help shape cryptocurrency legislation. His aim is to contribute to creating clear regulatory frameworks for the digital asset sector.
The initiative seeks to address the years of uncertainty and regulatory challenges faced by the crypto industry. This move underscores Hoskinson’s intent to drive positive change for the broader adoption of digital assets.
Cardano’s DeFi TVL climbed to $350 million, a seven-month high, and could rise further with BitcoinOS integration, potentially unlocking $1.3 trillion in liquidity.
Cardano also jumped in unison with a massive spike in futures open interest, which, for the first time since March, has breached above $500 million for the third consecutive day, a sign of developing confidence among market players in the asset’s near-term potential.
Crypto Community Divided Over BitBoy’s Account Hack
Besides that, BitBoy Crypto’s account once shared a scam link, which reportedly drained the wallets of some followers. Armstrong then went to Twitter to address the issue, saying someone hacked his account and he had assured his followers it was already fixed.
He went on to warn that attacks on crypto holders and influencers would probably worsen as the bull run goes on.
However, many also feel Armstrong himself fabricated the incident, which served as a cover-up story for his compromised account.
