Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has introduced a new protocol called Cardinal — and it's a game changer.
🔗 It allows people to use Bitcoin inside Cardano’s DeFi, safely and without giving control to any centralized company.
💡 What Does Cardinal Do?
With Cardinal, you can:
✅ Use your BTC in DeFi apps
✅ Borrow, lend, or stake Bitcoin
✅ Even use Ordinals as collateral
✅ Keep full control — no middlemen
Instead of sending your BTC to a company, Cardinal uses advanced tech like Bitcoin multisig, Cardano smart contracts, and BitVMX to lock BTC securely and create a “wrapped” version on Cardano.
You can get your BTC back anytime — no trust needed.
🔐 “No rehypothecation. No compromise.” — IOHK CTO, Romain Pellerin
🚀 Why This Matters
🛡️ Most BTC DeFi today needs custodians (companies who hold your funds).
⚠️ That creates risk — and many have failed in the past.
Cardinal changes that by giving you full control. It's a trustless bridge between Bitcoin and Cardano — bringing BTC's value into DeFi without giving up its security.
📉 ADA Price & What’s Next
Cardano’s token ADA is trading around $0.70, down 15% this month. But this new launch could boost interest as Cardano now connects with the biggest crypto asset: Bitcoin.
With Cardinal, Cardano steps into the multi-chain race — offering secure, low-fee DeFi powered by real BTC.
🔥 This could be a big step forward for both Bitcoin and Cardano in the DeFi world.
