JUST IN: #Cardano $ADA Founder Charles Hoskinson says "we have a self-healing consensus protocol. When (Ethereum's) protocol gets attacked, it's a hard fork and a manual reset. With us, it's self-healing."
Payments have evolved.
And the next evolution is agentic.
AI agents are becoming economic participants, and they need infrastructure built for them.

JUST IN: #Cardano $ADA Founder Charles Hoskinson on Ethereum, says "again and again and again, they say "UTXO is too hard for developers, no one wants to do it," and now they're literally putting in their 3 to 5 year roadmap, that they have to pivot to UTXO."
JUST IN: #Cardano $ADA Founder Charles Hoskinson on Ethereum's pivot to UTXO, says "it's just crazy to me. "We're a ghost chain, we're stupid, nobody knows what they're doing, we can't do DeFi," and they literally copy our roadmap, just in a shitty way filled with hacks."
Hoskinson Says Ethereum Is Trying to Copy Cardano’s Extended UTXO
Charles Hoskinson says Ethereum $ETH is attempting to copy Cardano's Extended UTXO, or EUTXO, while refusing to acknowledge its origins.
This comes after Ethereum Foundation researcher Toni Wahrstätter shared a proposal for native UTXOs on Ethereum.
The Cardano founder called EUTXO the biggest innovation in smart contracts and claimed It's “a crime in the Ethereum inner circles to mention Cardano.”
Hoskinson said he has spent more than a decade developing the model and argued it has already been proven at scale.
Clearstream Adds XRP, XLM To Crypto Custody
Clearstream has expanded its institutional crypto custody platform to include $XRP, $SOL, $ADA, $AVAX, $XLM and $LTC.
The move broadens its offering beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum as institutional demand for MiCA compliant digital assets grows.
The Deutsche Börse subsidiary provides custody and settlement infrastructure across more than 60 markets.
It's not like I've been literally working on this topic for over 10 years of my life and launched a cryptocurrency that was number three on coinmarketcap with millions of users to deploy it. It's literally a crime in the Ethereum inner circles to mention Cardano. EUTXO is the biggest innovation of the smart contract world and Ethereum cannot mention it as they literally try to copy it.
THE BLOCK: Avalanche treasury company AVAX One announced a CEO transition after Jolie Kahn stepped down effective July 3.

NEW: Everstake, the largest non-custodial staking infrastructure provider, trusted by over 1.6M users across 130+ networks, says "#Cardano's growing holders reflect growing confidence. $ADA's potential remains enormous. This may be only the first chapter of what's coming next."
UPDATE
HOSKINSON CALLS REALFI A HISTORIC MILESTONE FOR CARDANO 😱😱😱
Cardano founder @IOHK_Charles says the launch of RealFi is "one of the most significant releases in the history of Cardano."
🚨CARDANO HOLDERS ARE COMING BACK
ADA has added 14,783 new non-empty wallets since its June 23 bottom, while price pushes back toward $0.20 after a 35% rebound from late-June lows.
The bounce comes after peak FUD hit the Cardano community last month, from ADA trading near 2020 levels to ecosystem criticisms.
If $ADA reclaims $0.20 with wallets still climbing, last month’s panic may look more like capitulation than collapse.
Retail interest in Cardano is accelerating.
$ADA has climbed for four consecutive days, gaining more than 30% over the past week and outperforming most top 20 cryptocurrencies.
On-chain growth is also picking up, with 14,783 new non empty wallets added between June 23 and July 4, according to Santiment.
Price is rising, adoption is growing, and momentum is building.
