beincrypto.com reports that Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says the network will "win this fight," as ADA rebounds 26% and criticism of the ecosystem grows louder. He also revealed that cooperation with Ethereum developers could produce a working integration within months. The comments offer Hoskinson’s clearest answer yet to claims that Cardano is losing relevance.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ADA, measured when this story was written up on 26 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Spot trading data shows a buy ratio of 51.6% over the last hour and 50.5% over four hours, indicating a slight shift toward buying pressure compared to the 48.3% ratio recorded over the past 24 hours. This shift is reflected in positive volume deltas of +$58,240 for the hour and +$779,273 for the day, suggesting that recent trades have been net buying. The buy ratio measures the proportion of trades executed on the buy side, while the volume delta tracks the net difference between buy and sell volume. Despite the recent uptick, the cumulative volume delta remains negative at -$433,468, indicating that selling pressure has outweighed buying over the full 24-hour period.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.6% sits at the 5th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
Twenty-four hours later
What ADA did over the 24 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ADA, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the buy ratio averaged 49.7%, making today’s 48.3% reading 1.4 percentage points below the weekly norm. Spot volume for the day was $22,311,753, which is only 0.43 times the average daily volume, marking a significantly quieter trading day than usual. While the price rose 13.5% over eight days, net buying occurred on only two of the seven days. This contrasts with the current day’s 12 hours of net buying, suggesting a temporary surge in activity relative to the week’s broader trend.
