Cardano and Polkadot are considering Bitcoin investments to enhance their DeFi initiatives. At the same time, the new project Unstaked is gaining attention with intriguing offerings.
Cardano: Bitcoin Investments to Support Treasury
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has proposed a treasury management plan allocating $100 million, about 5-10% of the $1.2 billion fund, into Bitcoin and Cardano-based stablecoins such as USDM and USDA. This strategy aims to generate returns from these assets to buy back ADA on the open market.
Hoskinson believes this method could yield $5 to $10 million worth of ADA buybacks each year, reinforcing ADA’s market presence while maintaining treasury health.
Polkadot: Proposal for a Bitcoin-Based Treasury
In the Polkadot network, a new initiative suggests exchanging 500,000 DOT for tokenized Bitcoin (tBTC) to strengthen its DeFi ecosystem. The idea, presented by community member hippiestank, involves a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) approach to carefully convert DOT into BTC over time.
The reserve would hold non-custodial tBTC, aimed at acting as a buffer against market fluctuations. While some view this move as a way to secure Polkadot’s treasury, others express concerns over selling DOT at low points and buying BTC at high prices.
Unstaked: A Growing Project with Success Potential
Unstaked is attracting attention by merging blockchain with AI, allowing users to activate AI agents that operate across platforms like Telegram and X (formerly Twitter). The project's presale has raised over $10.6 million, with a current price of $0.012091 and a projected launch price of $0.1819, potentially offering significant returns for early buyers.
Unstaked ensures transparency by keeping all AI activity visible on-chain, helping to build community trust.
Cardano's plans for a Bitcoin reserve, the active discussions within Polkadot, and Unstaked's rapid growth illustrate the diverse ways crypto platforms are preparing for the future. These changes highlight the importance of strategic investments in cryptocurrency.
