Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson Says Institutions Caused the Latest Crypto Meltdown

Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson Says Institutions Caused the Latest Crypto Meltdown

The post Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson Says Institutions Caused the Latest Crypto Meltdown appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Editors News Cardano’s Hoskinson accuses institutions of pump-and-dump schemes causing crypto crash Cardano fell to $0.3911 from $0.6092, Bitcoin dropped from $126K to $80.6K levels Founder says firms extracted tens of billions through aggressive speculation cycles Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson attributed the recent cryptocurrency market crash to large institutional players during a November 24 livestream. He accused these entities of orchestrating pump-and-dump operations that pulled billions from the market. Major cryptocurrencies posted steep declines throughout November. Cardano opened the month at $0.6092 but dropped to a multi-month low of $0.3911 last week. Bitcoin reached $126,000 one month ago before falling to $80,600 during the same period. “The reason why the price is low, it’s because institutions got what they wanted. They pumped & dumped the dats…” “Pumped it up, shorted it down, made both sides of the trade…” -Charles Hoskinson Concerning Cardano ADA & Crypto in general… pic.twitter.com/dRHGYm9xTJ — 𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙈𝙖𝙣 𝙓 ™ (@MetaMan) November 24, 2025 Hoskinson Claims Institutions Profited From Both Sides Hoskinson stated that large institutions drove prices higher before shorting the market during the decline. He specifically mentioned firms like Citadel as examples of players who “got what they wanted” by profiting from both ends of the trade. The Cardano founder argued that market makers faced pressure while retail investors absorbed losses. He stated that a combination of institutional dominance and widespread leverage left the market exposed when the downturn began. Hoskinson described this behavior as standard practice in the crypto market, where institutions extract profits while retail participants suffer heavy losses. He emphasized that many investors failed to learn lessons from the 2021 bull run. The 2021 cycle featured what Hoskinson called “irrational exuberance,” with speculative NFTs selling for millions and valuations across the sector becoming disconnected from fundamentals. This period ended with high-profile collapses including…

Rising hockey star’s new life in Ethereum after devastating car crash: Trevor Koverko

Rising hockey star’s new life in Ethereum after devastating car crash: Trevor Koverko

The post Rising hockey star’s new life in Ethereum after devastating car crash: Trevor Koverko appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Not everyone can say they were there when history was being made. But former ice hockey star Trevor Koverko, on the mend from a serious car accident, witnessed it firsthand in his hometown. “I was at a meet-up in Toronto and this guy named Vitalik was handing out documents, which turned out to be the Ethereum whitepaper. We had a cluster of really important high-profile people that came out of that time in Toronto. Vitalik, Joe Lubin and Charles Hoskinson, for example.” In Canada, ice hockey is its own kind of subculture. Koverko had fallen in love with the sport at a young age, and by the time he was a teen, he was competing at the semi-pro level and moved away from home, playing to crowds of 10,000. Trevor Koverko (Supplied) Landing your dream job before graduating from high school felt too good to be true. At 18, Koverko was an NHL draft pick for the New York Rangers. He had his whole life ahead of him. Until he didn’t. When he was 24, Koverko was in a serious car accident. He suffered a catastrophic brain injury and was paralyzed on his left side for weeks. It abruptly ended his career as an athlete and nearly ended his life. Six years later, in 2017, Koverko founded a security token project – well before tokenization was a thing – that raised $75 million and reached a $1 billion market cap. His journey into crypto was a combination of good luck and good management. Koverko was in the hospital for months. He had to learn to walk and speak again, while processing the death of his dream. Hockey was over, and he knew he had to reinvent himself. Then, Silicon Valley and the startup scene caught his attention. He enrolled in…

UFC superstar McGregor has accused another retired UFC fighter, Nurmagomedov, of a $4.4 million NFT fraud.

UFC superstar McGregor has accused another retired UFC fighter, Nurmagomedov, of a $4.4 million NFT fraud.

PANews reported on November 27th that, according to Cryptobriefing, UFC superstar Conor McGregor publicly criticized his arch-rival Khabib Nurmagomedov after the retired champion released a series of NFTs inspired by the traditional Dagestan leather hat, the "papakha," which gained fame due to his performance in the UFC. Social media reports indicate that the NFT series generated approximately $4.4 million in revenue after its release, and Nurmagomedov immediately deleted the promotional tweets after the sales concluded. McGregor immediately accused Nurmagomedov of committing a "fraud," claiming he exploited his late father's name and Dagestan culture to profit from fans before erasing all promotional evidence. He stated that this was a "disgrace and stain" on Nurmagomedov's father's legacy. Nurmagomedov countered, calling McGregor a "fraud" and insisting that NFTs are legitimate "digital gifts" intended to promote tradition. He stated that McGregor was still trying to humiliate him years after losing their 2018 showdown. Furthermore, McGregor had previously dabbled in the cryptocurrency space, partnering with Real World Gaming DAO to launch the "REAL" meme coin, but the pre-sale failed to meet its targets, and the team ultimately refunded bidders.

McGregor slams Khabib’s $4.4M NFT drop as a “Scam”

McGregor slams Khabib’s $4.4M NFT drop as a “Scam”

The post McGregor slams Khabib’s $4.4M NFT drop as a “Scam” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Conor McGregor’s return to social media lasted for a few hours before he found a familiar target. The former UFC double-champ resurfaced on Wednesday and immediately went after longtime nemesis Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, this time he accused the retired star of running an NFT grift built on Dagestani culture and the legacy of his late father. Last Weekend, Nurmagomedov promoted a new digital project tied to the papakha. It was the traditional headpiece he wore during his undefeated UFC run. The drop reportedly included 29,000 NFTs and generated more than $4.4 million in just a 25-hour window. Then every post tied to the rollout quietly disappeared from his social media platforms without explanation, That disappearance was enough rocket fuel for McGregor. “There is just no way good guy Khabib used his late father’s name, as well as Dagestan’s culture, to scam his fans,” McGregor wrote on X. “Fire selling digital NFTs online and then deleting all the content after they were sold, he added. “what a shame and a stain on his father’s name,” he wrote further. Khabib denies NFT scam He didn’t stop there and stated that “Father’s plan has now become Father’s scam. Very sad.” McGregor’s timing wasn’t accidental, as he recently insisted on preparing for a 2025 comeback. However, recently re-entered the drug-testing pool. The former champ has been teasing a return ever since the UFC confirmed plans for a blockbuster White House event in 2026.  Khabib did respond to the allegations and denied the accusations. He went on to call McGregor “an absolute liar” while defending both the project and his family’s reputation. Sources close to the launch say the NFT collection was framed as a tribute to his late father, Abdulmanap. It was supposed to be a digital keepsake rather than a speculative cash-grab. Source:…

UFC star Conor McGregor criticized former rival Khabib Nurmagomedov for his non-fungible token (NFT) drop on Telegram, which featured digital “papakhas” — a traditional hat worn in Nurmagomedov’s native country of Dagestan. “There is just no way good guy Khabib used his late father’s name, as well as Dagestan’s culture, to scam his fans and fire sell a bunch of digital NFTs online,” McGregor wrote in a now-deleted X post. Onchain sleuth ZachXBT responded to McGregor, pointing out that McGregor attempted to launch his own celebrity memecoin in April called REAL.

Morning Minute: Polymarket Gets the Green Light; Kalshi Hits a Wall

Morning Minute: Polymarket Gets the Green Light; Kalshi Hits a Wall

The post Morning Minute: Polymarket Gets the Green Light; Kalshi Hits a Wall appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Morning Minute is a daily newsletter written by Tyler Warner. The analysis and opinions expressed are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of Decrypt. Subscribe to the Morning Minute on Substack. GM! Today’s top news: Crypto majors slightly red; BTC at $86,700 Polymarket cleared to operate in the US by CFTC Kalshi blocked for sports markets in Nevada after injunction removed Texas buys $5M of BTC via IBIT for state level BTC Reserve MON token jumps another 24% to $4.8B FDV, leads all top movers ⚖️ Polymarket Gets the Green Light; Kalshi Hits a Wall Two big regulatory decisions impacting prediction markets just dropped. And they point in completely opposite directions. 📌 What Happened Yesterday, Polymarket received formal approval from the CFTC to operate legally in the United States. It allows Polymarket to bring on U.S. users through regulated intermediaries and broker partners, and offer markets that pass federal risk, suitability, and contract-type tests. This is a full reversal from 2022, when the CFTC fined and effectively exiled Polymarket from serving U.S. customers.# Kalshi, meanwhile, just ran directly into the opposite outcome. Back in April, Kalshi won a preliminary injunction stopping Nevada gaming regulators from enforcing a cease-and-desist order against it. Yesterday, the same federal judge (Andrew Gordon) reversed himself and dissolved that injunction, siding with the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Nevada argued Kalshi’s “event contracts” on sports are just sports bets and require a Nevada gaming license. And election contracts fall under the same category. With the injunction resolved, Nevada can treat Kalshi like any other sportsbook and order them to stop offering sports contracts or face enforcement. This means Kalshi either has to geo-fence Nevada or apply for a Nevada gaming license. So now Polymarket is federally approved, and Kalshi is blocked at the state level.  🗣️ What Are…
