Cryptocurrency Prophecies from Cardano (ADA) Founder Charles Hoskinson: “When This Happens, Floodgates Will Open, 3 Billion People…”
Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson has expressed his belief that the adoption of significant cryptocurrency regulations in the United States will enable mass adoption by major technology companies.
Speaking on the subject, Hoskinson said that once the stablecoin and market structure bills are approved, leading technology firms such as Apple, Microsoft, Google and Facebook will include cryptocurrency wallets on their platforms, potentially reaching a combined user base of 3 billion people.
Hoskinson highlighted two major bills currently being considered in the US Congress. The first, a stablecoin bill, is the most likely to pass in the next 30 to 90 days, and the second, a broader market structure bill, is also being considered.
“After these two bills pass, Apple, Microsoft, Google and Facebook will say, ‘Hey, we are crypto people now,’” Hoskinson said, predicting that these companies will integrate digital asset wallets into their operating systems and applications.
According to Hoskinson, tech giants will have the opportunity to reduce their reliance on traditional credit card payment processing systems by issuing their own stablecoins or partnering with existing stablecoin providers. This move could make payments more efficient and cost-effective by enabling fee-free transactions within their ecosystems.
“They will do this because they can now legally hold and use stablecoins,” he explained, adding: “They don’t like paying credit card transaction fees.”
If these companies integrate crypto wallets, they could effectively become financial services providers, reshaping the industry with their vast capital and user reach, according to Hoskinson. Hoskinson believes this shift will lead to the creation of new financial products, including yield-generating opportunities built directly into their platforms.
The potential impact of these regulatory developments extends far beyond individual crypto investors, Hoskinson noted. With tech giants controlling access to billions of users, a seamless transition to integrated crypto services could drive unprecedented adoption of digital assets:
“When these two bills pass, the floodgates will open and 3 billion people will walk through that door.”
