Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has identified Bitcoin DeFi as a significant opportunity to enhance Cardano's total value locked (TVL) to between $10 billion and $15 billion. Speaking at the Token2049 conference in Singapore, Hoskinson highlighted the potential of integrating Bitcoin's $2 trillion ecosystem with Cardano's eUTXO model to facilitate smart contract deployment. He also expressed intentions to leverage the $100 billion XRP market to further drive DeFi growth, aiming to surpass Solana's current $12.85 billion TVL.
