The crypto market spent most of March on a steady downtrend. Cryptocurrency prices across the board struggled on a downfall as investor caution and a lack of momentum suppressed the bullish narrative that dominated January and early February. With April just beginning, attention has turned to what lies ahead.
Technical indicators are pointing to both uptrends and downtrends, but a major conversation is taking shape off the charts that could reset the trajectory of the entire crypto space. According to Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, there are two key regulatory developments that could mark a turning point for crypto adoption and open the door for billions of new users almost overnight.
Hoskinson Predicts Tech Giants Will Adopt Cryptocurrency
In a recent episode of the “The Wolf Of All Streets” podcast hosted by Scott Melker, Charles Hoskinson outlined a scenario where two bills currently being debated in the U.S. Senate, one on stablecoins and the other on market structure, could change the crypto industries. He argued that once these frameworks are passed, major tech companies like Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft will have the legal clarity and infrastructure to integrate crypto wallets directly into their platforms. “Once those two bills pass, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, are going to say hey, we’re crypto people now,” Hoskinson said.
These companies already possess the infrastructure to onboard new crypto users: massive user bases, global infrastructure, payment processing tools, and familiarity with digital wallets. Once regulations provide a clear path forward, these tech companies will easily allow their users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies without leaving their ecosystems. This move wouldn’t be a gradual progress but a sudden leap into mass adoption that would unlock access to a userbase of over 3 billion users around the world.
The 3 Billion User Effect: What Will This Mean For The Crypto Industry?
The stablecoin legislation, formally titled the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy (STABLE) Act of 2025, is a proposal aimed at establishing clear rules for how stablecoins are issued and backed. It also seeks to amend existing federal securities laws to clarify that payment stablecoins should not be treated as securities. Although the exact timeline for when the bill will be passed is uncertain, Charles Hoskinson believes it will be passed within the next 60 to 90 days.
Once passed, the STABLE Act, alongside the market structure bill, will form the regulatory groundwork for widespread crypto adoption. On a basic level, it would allow major tech companies to integrate stablecoin payments into their platforms, letting users easily pay for services or products using stablecoins. On the higher end, these tech companies could eventually serve as intermediaries between users and crypto exchanges or even take on roles similar to exchanges themselves.
A user base of 3 billion users will bring with it not only increased trading volume but also growth in use cases, liquidity, and investment interest. It would shift crypto from a smaller sector into mainstream financial infrastructure.
