Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has shared a playful yet symbolic image on X to promote his vision of uniting blockchain ecosystems through Cardano’s technology.
Indeed, Hoskinson is not relenting in his quest to unite the broader crypto industry. Earlier today, he posted a photo of himself styled as Pokémon protagonist Ash Ketchum.
In the image, Hoskinson stands on a New York street holding Poké Balls branded with the Cardano logo. A digital map behind him highlights nodes across the Cardano network. Although humorous, the post carries a clear message.
Hoskinson captioned it, “Got to integrate them all,” a twist on the Pokémon slogan “Gotta catch ’em all,” signaling his goal of uniting today’s fragmented blockchain ecosystems.

Efforts to Unite the Crypto Industry
Hoskinson has actively pushed to unite the crypto industry, arguing that collaboration is essential for broader market growth. His efforts intensified after Donald Trump’s re-election in November 2024. Shortly afterward, he ended his longstanding dispute with the XRP community and met with several top crypto leaders, including Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Stellar co-founder Jed McCaleb.
Additionally, Hoskinson and the broader Cardano ecosystem have launched a major airdrop initiative designed to welcome users from multiple blockchain networks into the Midnight ecosystem. Supported chains include Cardano, XRP Ledger, Solana, Bitcoin, Brave, Avalanche, Ethereum, and BNB Chain.
With two claim phases already completed, the Midnight Foundation plans to distribute NIGHT tokens and list them for trading on several exchanges next week.
Hoskinson Wants ADA to Lead Crypto Market
Meanwhile, Hoskinson reaffirmed his long-term vision for Cardano, stressing his commitment to the network’s growth and global impact. During his recent livestream, he stated that he wants the Cardano ecosystem to succeed and for ADA to become the world’s largest cryptocurrency. He even expressed his ambition for Cardano to become the digital currency that powers global systems.
These statements highlight his goal of positioning Cardano as a dominant force in the digital asset landscape. However, for ADA to surpass Bitcoin, which currently leads the market with a valuation of $1.73 trillion, it would require a significant surge.
At Cardano’s current market cap of $13.98 billion, ADA would need to increase by approximately 12,417% to reach roughly $1.75 trillion and overtake Bitcoin. At that valuation, ADA could trade near $48, based on its circulating supply of 35.89 billion tokens.
