Cardano plans to draw $200 million into DeFi via EVM integration

  • Target of $200 million in net DeFi TVL on Cardano over 12 months
  • 120 million ADA allocated from the Cardano treasury for the program
  • Priority on EVM wallets and bridges with Ethereum, Base and Arbitrum
  • Separate focus on tokenized government bonds and on-chain lending
Why it matters: Success depends on capital flowing in from Ethereum and Base rather than existing ADA holders; failure would leave Cardano liquidity fragmented.
