#Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson announced the start of a large-scale study of 11,000 third-party DAOs for an urgent restructuring of the project's Constitution by 2027. He was forced to take this step by blockchain stagnation and an ultimatum from developers demanding an end to funding for fundamental science in favor of practical DeFi products.

As of late May 2026, Cardano is being torn apart by an ideological conflict between its academic past and commercial future, clearly illustrated by Hoskinson's discussion with developer Andrew Westberg.Inside Cardano's governance crisisThe pragmatic wing of the community is demanding an end to "carpet bombing" budgets with long-term scientific research that brings no immediate market benefit. Instead, developers are calling for a move toward "sniper" funding for products ready for commercialization, including bridges, rollups and privacy solutions.

Hoskinson, on the other hand, is convinced that abandoning fundamental science would destroy Cardano's main unique selling proposition. In his view, the specifics of the EUTXO architecture rule out the use of ready-made, off-the-shelf solutions, while budget cuts would only lead to the loss of elite research talent, making the network vulnerable.

Bitcoin trades above $77,000 as oil's 5% slide pushes Asian equities higherBitcoin was slightly higher on Monday as a sharp decline in oil prices helped lift Asian stock markets.

At 6:35 UTC, the leading cryptocurrency by market value traded near $77,200, up 0.4% from midnight UTC, according to CoinDesk data. At that level, bitcoin was trading just above its widely tracked 50-day simple moving average of around $76,940. Traders and chart analysts monitor this key level closely, with sustained breakouts above it typically viewed as bullish.Other major cryptocurrencies were also modestly higher.

XRP and Solana (SOL) rose 0.6% or more, while Ether (ETH) gained 0.4%. However, all three continued to trade below their respective 50-day moving averages, lagging Bitcoin on this metric.

Futures tied to West Texas Intermediate crude oil dropped more than 5% to around $91 per barrel, extending a steep slide from last Wednesday’s high above $104. Asian equities rallied, with India’s Nifty climbed over 1%, Japan’s Nikkei rose nearly 3% in early trade, and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 added 0.4%.

These moves follow weekend reports that a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint that accounted for over 20% of global oil flows before the Iran war began in late February, was in its final stages.

Last week, Iran’s IRGC claimed to have allowed passage of over 20 tankers through the strait, though that volume remains well below pre-war levels.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Washington and Iranian negotiators have "a pretty solid thing on the table" and a deal to end the war between the two countries could be reached Monday. He said that the U.S. is ready top exhaust every diplomatic option but would pursue other means if a good deal could not be reached.

Analysts still maintained a cautious outlook on bitcoin, citing more than $2 billion

Factors behind ETH dominating the stablecoin space 
This may be due to a number of factors. For example, when a company like Circle, Fidelity, or BlackRock transfers $50 million, they don’t care if the gas fee is $5.00 or $0.05. Unchangeable security is what matters to them.

Additionally, it is mathematically the most costly blockchain in the world to attack, with over 39.2 million ETH staked to secure the network.Even though a chain like Base or Solana [SOL] may handle millions of quick retail transactions every day, the real value that is parked there is not that great. 

It’s quite normal to believe that the network is losing traction when the price remains at $2,445 without any movement. However, the network’s usefulness is not determined by the value of the ETH asset only.

What’s more? 
Lastly, Ethereum’s Layer 2 scaling roadmap (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base) is causing retail users to switch from the main Ethereum chain to L2s for their low-cost stablecoin trading.

As a result, even though the Ethereum ecosystem as a whole is effectively gaining more market share than ever before, less fee income is going directly toward burning mainnet ETH. This, in turn, is what will keep the price low in the near term.

Zooming out, if we look at the market capitalization of all stablecoins, we can see that they have increased to $323.112 billion, with USDT making up 58.69% of this total

FET targets $0.22 after 10% rally – So why are traders still cautious?
FET’s liquidation heatmap shows balanced clusters. However, a narrow loss gap keeps reversal risk credible despite the rally.Artificial Superintelligence Alliance [FET] is currently benefiting from a rally linked to the broader artificial intelligence token narrative. The asset posted a 10% gain at press time, as chart projections point to another double-digit move to the upside.

Despite this, there is a high probability that the rally may not fully materialize, as opposing forces point to weakening buyer strength in the FET market.

FET forms a bullish flag pattern 
At the time of writing, FET was trading within a classic bullish flag pattern, a formation that has historically preceded significant price swings to the upside. The pattern forms when an asset undergoes a massive expansion in price, then consolidates within a slightly downward-trending channel before making another major upswing FET has already passed through two phases of this pattern, completing the initial expansion and currently consolidating within the downward channel.The third and final phase would see FET break above the upper resistance of the downward channel, with two price targets ahead: $0.22 and $0.24.

Whether this expansion materializes, however, depends heavily on whether momentum and capital conditions align to support the breakout

Ethereum holds 55% of stablecoins, yet ETH trades below $2.4K – Justified?
As other blockchains vie for users' attention, Ethereum remains the foundation of the stablecoin economy.Ethereum [ETH] has been the focus of attention in the stablecoin space lately. According to data from Dune Analytics, Ethereum manages roughly $190 billion of the approximately $322 billion stablecoin market.

This indicates that about 55% of all stablecoins are held by Ethereum. Additionally, only $60 billion is handled by all other blockchains combined, compared to roughly $90 billion handled by TRON [TRX]. In fact, the entire supply nearly doubled in just 24 months, and Ethereum’s market share held steady. Remarking on the same, Leon Waidmann—Head of Research at Lisk—noted,Stablecoins picked their settlement layer a long time ago.

ETH price action raises eyebrows
This coincided with Ethereum [ETH] trading around $2,116.40 after a drop of 4.4% in the past 24 hours.

Needless to say, this is startling, though, because since February 2026, ETH has been trading below $2445. Even with these sideways and stagnant moves, ETH continues to rule the stablecoin market.
