Cardano can deploy more than $100 million for ecosystem development this year despite its drop in market-cap rankings, founder Charles Hoskinson said. He said the network’s on-chain treasury continues to generate funds needed for long-term growth. Spending could cover software development, infrastructure upgrades, research, developer tools and education programs. Hoskinson said more than 30 to 40 companies have received support, reducing reliance on Input Output Global.

Japan\'s financial group SBI Holdings joined a Solana blockchain-based stablecoin and real-world asset alliance, triggering a blame dispute within the Cardano community. Some ADA holders criticised the Cardano Foundation, Input Output Global and founder Charles Hoskinson over business development. Hoskinson rejected personal blame, saying the community must use on-chain governance and the Treasury to fund and approve major initiatives. The dispute has also highlighted governance differences between Solana and Cardano.
