Charles Hoskinson Renews "List ADA" Call to Gemini, Citing $70M in Lost Cardano (ADA)
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has renewed his demand that cryptocurrency exchange Gemini list Cardano (ADA), answering a birthday post from Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss with a two-word reply: "List ADA."
Winklevoss had taken to X to mark the crypto exchange's 11th anniversary, and Hoskinson's brief public reply to the anniversary post quickly drew attention across the crypto community. Alongside the renewed call, Hoskinson cited an estimated $70 million in lost Cardano (ADA) revenue, tying the figure to the token's continued absence from Gemini's lineup of listed assets.
The dollar figure highlights what rides on a single listing decision: an exchange can only offer trading in the assets on its list, so a token left off a platform is one that platform's customers cannot buy, sell, or hold through it. Public listing appeals from project founders are a recurring feature of the crypto industry for precisely this reason, and the choice of whether to add ADA sits with Gemini's own listing process.
Background on Cardano
Hoskinson is a co-founder of Ethereum who later established Cardano, a proof-of-stake blockchain network whose mainnet went live in 2017. The network's native token, ADA, is used to pay transaction fees and to participate in staking on the platform.
About Gemini
Gemini, the exchange at the center of the renewed request, was founded by twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and launched in 2015 as a New York-based cryptocurrency exchange. Eleven years later, the open question raised by the anniversary exchange is whether the platform's listing lineup will expand to include ADA — a decision that, for now, remains in Gemini's hands.
