🎬 Charles Hoskinson on Cardano's Future, Ethereum's Mistakes, and Crypto's Missing Safety Net
After a bridge hack rattled the Cardano ecosystem, Charles Hoskinson, CEO and Founder of Input Output, joins Jennifer Sanasie on Markets Outlook to lay out why crypto desperately needs wallet insurance, ZK-powered identity, and white hat rescue frameworks. Plus, what Cardano's latest hard fork really means for decentralized governance, why he thinks Ethereum keeps getting it wrong, and what it will actually take for prices to recover. Plus, we look at the DTCC taking tokenized securities live in...

➤ Charles Hoskinson advocates for crucial RWA infrastructure like wallet insurance, ZK-powered identity, and white hat rescue frameworks to address crypto's security vulnerabilities, citing recent hacks as evidence.
➤ Cardano has successfully completed a hard fork (v11) enabling decentralized governance and integrating ZK infrastructure, paving the way for significant scalability improvements with the upcoming 'Laos' upgrade.
➤ The DTCC has launched live production for tokenized securities, marking a major milestone in traditional finance's adoption of blockchain technology, with broader rollouts planned for later this year.
