In a recent interview, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson offered a relatively optimistic assessment. But rather than focusing on price itself, he repeatedly emphasized a key direction long overlooked by the market—BTC DeFi.
In his view, Bitcoin holds the largest, yet most 'sleeping,' asset pool in the entire crypto market.
If Bitcoin can only be bought and held, but not used in economic activities without selling,
then the long-term growth potential of the crypto industry is actually limited.
In this video, I'll systematically break down why BTC DeFi is becoming important again in 2026 from four perspectives:
1. Why BTC DeFi might become a key variable in Bitcoin's next phase of value
2. How leading BTC DeFi development teams view 'activating Bitcoin's existing assets'
3. Where Bitcoin DeFi has failed over the past decade
4. And what role Cardano plays on this BTC DeFi path
You'll see a core conclusion:
The question has never been 'Should Bitcoin do DeFi?'
But rather, 'Can we truly put BTC to use without compromising security or altering asset ownership?'
If this succeeds this time,
it could have an impact far beyond Bitcoin itself,
possibly reshaping the entire crypto market structure.
