Tensions between Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson and the community have escalated to a new level. Hoskinson, who recently claimed that an organized hate campaign was being waged against him within the Cardano ecosystem, has once again drawn attention with a social media post saying, “I’m taking a break for a while, see you later.”
Following Hoskinson’s post, ADA faced intense selling pressure. The ADA price dropped by 10%, falling below $0.20 for the first time in over five years. The token’s year-to-date loss has reached approximately 70%.
Prior to his decision to take a break, Hoskinson stated that the ADA ecosystem was facing “a wave of failures.” In this context, he pointed to the cessation of operations by TapTools, one of the leading platforms in the Cardano ecosystem, and the cancellation of the 2026 Cardano Summit event following a community vote.
The Cardano founder also expressed his frustration that there wasn’t enough support for using treasury funds to support the growth of the ecosystem.
