Problems in Cardano camp as the CEO disagrees with foundation chairman
Cardano (ADA) has been one of the best blockchain projects so far. The organization runs on three different arms to make it a tremendous decentralized blockchain protocol. Three different bodies behind Cardano: IOHK – headed by Charles Hoskinson, oversees the software development of the blockchain network, Emurgo, manages the upcoming projects under developments by Cardano; and Cardano Foundation – led by Micheal Parson, takes charge of Cardano’s ecosystem.
However, despite being governed by three different bodies, there seems to be a significant conflict in the blockchain project’s camp. Hoskinson recently via an open letter accused the Chairman of Cardano Foundation of carelessness, prejudice, and misuse of Cardano funds.
Hoskinson stated that the Foundation Chairman had been the obstacle towards the progress of it. In a video, the head has urged the community to support the movement towards the sacking of the Foundation chairman.
Further, in Cardano’s open letter, Parson was accused of neglecting his chairmanship obligations. Firstly, Parson employed his colleagues and relatives with little or no knowledge and qualifications to show.
The open letter further stated that cases of fraud were also found on Parson during his time as the chairman of Cardano Foundation. He as well has been accused of staying away from his duties as a Chairman of the foundation, of which he doesn’t interact or chat with the community.
After the open letter was passed out by Cardano, the community has gone to support the movement by raising a petition, and it states:
“If you are a believer in the Cardano vision, an investor in the Cardano venture, or if you simply believe, regardless of the loose regulation of the crypto space, that we still deserve crypto leaders to be accountable and to be brought to justice, then you should sign the petition to help us to raise our voices and make Mr. Parsons take appropriate action.”
Cardano’s CEO, Hoskinson, replied via an interview (a video one) and reported that Parson’s negligence is affecting badly. Hoskinson has further stated that Emurgo and IOHK have been taking the bulk of the work to make sure the cryptocurrency still stands.

He also emphasized on the laxity of the foundation chairman stating that Cardano was called upon to Ethiopia for striking a good deal but couldn’t actualize. On the other hand, Cardano’s Foundation accused its other two bodies of trying to boycott the agreement. Hoskinson said,
“We just lost it at that point and we said, “Look, we are not going to work with you guys on any capacity until you publish a fair use policy” [….] This is what our relationship has been like for the past year, where they haven’t really collaborated or cooperated with us on a lot of things, they spend money in odd ways which have no purpose to the ecosystem”
The CEO of Cardano also talked on the ‘unconcerned nature’ of Parson as he said,
“For two years, he didn’t even put ‘Chairman of The Cardano Foundation’ on his LinkedIn page.”
Hoskinson noted that its new members in the foundation should be elected and the best option for Parson is to tender his resignation. Meanwhile, despite the launch of several projects on Cardano’s network such as Cardano crypto-debit card, Rust SDK, and Yoroi Wallet, the CEO stated that there are more projects to come that will boost ADA value in the future.
Now, whether the CEO and community will be able to make the chairman step out or not, remains a question. And yeah, nobody knows how much damage he might do before the rest of the Cardano army (the CEO and community) succeeds. Would the fear cause investors of stepping back from ADA, and ultimately affect its price? We all will get to know that shortly.

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.
SOL Outlook
Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.
The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.
This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…
Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.
Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally
Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.
The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.
Cited figures provided by DeFi aggregator DeFiLlama…
Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.
SOL’s Bullish Cues
Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.
In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.
Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
