Charles Hoskinson remarks that Cardano's Bitcoin DeFi push requires strong centralized leadership to steer narratives.

Its flagship decentralized exchange (DEX), Minswap, handles about $2.4 million in daily volume. The chain's biggest dollar-backed stablecoin has volume of a mere $50,000 a day.

Minswap is currently the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) in the Cardano network with 30-day trading volumes of $79 million. Meanwhile, Liqwid is the largest decentralized application.

Minswap prepares to become the first Cardano DEX to support Bitcoin trading as Cardano’s Bitcoin DeFi infrastructure nears completion.

Cardano Bitcoin DeFi integration boosts Minswap's position as top DEX, targeting BTC liquidity and expanding smart contract use across the ecosystem.

Minswap has a head start in the quest to become a Bitcoin decentralized exchange as Cardano moves to begin its warm embrace of Bitcoin DeFi.

By 2025, it dominates Cardano DEX activity—Minswap consistently handles the majority of Cardano’s DEX transactions—providing deep liquidity for ADA and dozens of native tokens.

Projects such as Minswap and Liqwid Finance experienced growing interest as users gained confidence in the network’s long-term viability.
