The post Cardano Aims for Global Rebrand with New Treasury Proposal; Voting Open appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Cardano has the tech. It has the community. What it doesn’t have, according to EMURGO, is a clear, united presence on the global stage.
To fix this, EMURGO, one of Cardano’s founding entities, is pushing a major proposal called the Unified Global Events Marketing Strategy. The goal is to end Cardano’s “fragmented branding” and give the ecosystem a consistent, professional identity at top blockchain conferences worldwide.
The proposal cleared its first round of community voting with nearly 80% support. It’s now in the final phase: a Treasury Withdrawal vote that will decide if the plan gets funded.
First Stop: TOKEN2049 Singapore
EMURGO has already put real money on the line. The team confirmed they’ve “paid upfront for a large Cardano presence” at TOKEN2049 Singapore, one of the biggest Web3 events of the year.
This will give Cardano builders a high-profile stage to showcase their work. A sign-up form is expected to open soon for projects across the ecosystem.
Why This Matters for Cardano
In past years, Cardano’s presence at major events like Consensus and Paris Blockchain Week has been small or scattered. That’s allowed better-branded rivals like Solana and Avalanche to take the spotlight.
Without this proposal, that situation won’t change. According to EMURGO, “builders… will not be able to unite in-person under a single Cardano flag” if the funding doesn’t come through. That includes key projects like Minswap, Midnight, Claymates, Ctrl Wallet, and many others.
This will make sure the outside world understands what Cardano is building.
A “Yes” Vote Could Be Crucial
A successful vote would mean:
- Bigger visibility for Cardano projects
- A consistent brand message at global events
- A stronger position against competitors
- More opportunities for builders to grow
It also opens doors to a packed event calendar, including Consensus 2026, TOKEN2049 Dubai, WebX Asia, Blockchain Rio, and more.
Does ADA Beat Bitcoin?
At the same time, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is pushing back against comparisons to Bitcoin, arguing that ADA is the better long-term bet.
In a recent interview, Hoskinson pointed out ADA’s +4,000% return since 2017, compared to +2,400% for BTC. He also criticized calls to convert ADA’s treasury into Bitcoin, calling it a “loss of yield.”
For him, Cardano’s strength lies in being a programmable infrastructure, not just a reserve asset. With smart contracts, decentralized apps, and active governance, he believes ADA has far more room to grow.
The Deadline Is Ticking
EMURGO has made it clear: if the vote fails, Cardano loses a major chance to control its narrative. The proposal is live now, and the community has the final say.
“We need your help to pass this proposal… and remember that NOT voting results in a NO vote,” the team posted.
Let’s see what direction this takes!
