Paragraph 1
Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson predicted Bitcoin could reach $250,000 in 2026 during a YouTube interview with Altcoin Daily. He outlined how non-custodial credit systems might finally allow altcoins to decouple from Bitcoin’s price movements. Hoskinson maintained his bullish stance on Bitcoin reaching $250,000 in 2026, citing persistent institutional demand as the primary catalyst. He previously shared this target during a CNBC Squawk Box appearance.
Paragraph 2
The Bitcoin holder’s reluctance to surrender custody has prevented productive deployment of BTC across decentralized finance platforms, according to Hoskinson. He described non-custodial credit systems as the missing infrastructure piece that would allow Bitcoin owners to lend their holdings for stablecoins without third-party control. Hoskinson explained that when yield generation exceeds credit costs, Bitcoin holders could earn passive returns while maintaining asset control. Trillions of dollars in Bitcoin value could gradually flow into altcoins through mature credit mechanisms, establishing stronger foundations for broader adoption.
Paragraph 3
He compared Ethereum and Solana, noting Ethereum’s size makes rapid adaptation difficult while Solana’s agile development approach positions it for faster growth. Hoskinson credited Ethereum for carrying foundational work across altcoins and DeFi despite mobility constraints. Midnight, a partner chain created by Cardano’s developers, represents fourth-generation cryptocurrency design that could capture significant market share, Hoskinson said. The project functions as a complementary network to Cardano.
Paragraph 4
Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson predicted Bitcoin could reach $250,000 in 2026 during a YouTube interview with Altcoin Daily. He argues persistent institutional demand is the primary catalyst for the bullish target, a stance he has previously voiced on CNBC. He says non-custodial credit systems could allow altcoins to decouple from BTC’s price movements by enabling BTC holders to lend their holdings for stablecoins without third-party control.
