[Crypto World] The engineering company behind Cardano recently made a big move—they dropped “Global” from their name and are now called Input Output Group. Don’t underestimate this name change; founder Charles Hoskinson says it signals a strategic transformation for the company.
They’re no longer just focusing on the blockchain space. Quantum computing, digital identity verification, fintech, healthcare—these seemingly unrelated fields have now become new battlegrounds for the company. Of course, Hoskinson also emphasized one thing in particular: don’t worry, Cardano’s core development won’t stop, the team will continue to invest in it, while also expanding their business reach into global markets.
This restructuring is quite subtle. Cardano has indeed faced a lot of competitive pressure over the past two years, and has often been criticized for its slow adoption rate. Hoskinson seems to see the issue clearly—he believes the root of the problem isn’t the technology, but rather the governance mechanism. While this may sound like he’s making excuses for his own project, it does highlight a long-standing challenge in the public blockchain sector.
