Cardano founder reveals the latest progress on the Midnight Glacier Airdrop, NIGHT Token will be distributed in the second half of 2025.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently revealed that the highly anticipated Midnight Glacier Airdrop will take place in the second half of 2025, with the exact date to be officially announced at the August Rare Evo event. Hoskinson emphasized that half of the NIGHT Token will be distributed to ADA holders and stated that the project could have a market potential of tens of billions of dollars. Additionally, he boldly predicted that ADA is expected to outperform Bitcoin due to this Airdrop and the integration of Bitcoin in Decentralized Finance.
The Midnight Glacier Airdrop time will be announced in August In a recent interview, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson revealed that the official launch date for the Midnight Glacier Airdrop will be announced during the Rare Evo event held from August 6 to 10. The Airdrop, originally scheduled for July, has been postponed, which has disappointed some ADA holders; however, Hoskinson reaffirmed that the Airdrop will still take place in the second half of 2025.
NIGHT Token may become a billion-dollar project Hoskinson stated in an interview that the NIGHT project could have a valuation of 10 billion USD upon its launch. He emphasized that 50% of the total supply of NIGHT will be allocated to ADA holders, providing additional incentives for long-term ADA holding. This airdrop not only benefits ADA holders but may also attract external chains to participate in the Cardano ecosystem, thereby achieving continuous airdrop incentives every year.
Cardano will integrate Bitcoin DeFi to enhance network yield capabilities When looking forward to the future development of Cardano, Hoskinson mentioned that the network is planning to integrate with the Bitcoin ecosystem to achieve what is known as "Bitcoin DeFi." This will make Cardano the yield layer for Bitcoin, further enhancing its network value and user stickiness. This design makes ADA not only a holder asset but also a key tool for multi-chain interoperability and yield integration.
ADA may achieve 100x or even 1000x growth Regarding the potential of ADA, Hoskinson expressed an extremely optimistic view. He pointed out that even if the most optimistic prediction for Bitcoin is a growth of 10 times to $1 million, ADA has the potential to achieve a growth of 100 times or even 1000 times through the Midnight project and the integration of Decentralized Finance. Previously, he predicted that ADA would surpass Ethereum in price in the future, with a target price of $2.
Community Focus on August ADA Holder Audit Report Release In addition to the announcement of the Airdrop timing, the Cardano community is also looking forward to the upcoming ADA holder audit report to be released in August. This report is expected to further clarify the eligibility addresses for the Airdrop, paving the way for the subsequent NIGHT distribution.
Current ADA price retracement, waiting for positive drivers As of the time of publication, the current price of ADA is $0.79, having fallen by 9% over the past week, with a market capitalization maintained at $28 billion. Despite the short-term correction, market sentiment remains optimistic about ADA's long-term performance as the official launch date of the Midnight Glacier Drop approaches and network applications continue to expand.
Conclusion: The Midnight Glacier Airdrop injects new imaginative space into the Cardano ecosystem, not only expected to benefit ADA holders but also potentially becoming an important testing ground for inter-chain collaboration and DeFi integration. Crypto users can closely monitor the Rare Evo announcement and holding audit results in August to prepare for participating in the airdrop.
