Midnight Among the Most Traded in the Industry
The Cardano founder has highlighted the growing prominence of Midnight, noting that NIGHT has quickly become one of the most-traded assets in the crypto industry.
According to him, liquidity for NIGHT began in December 2025, marking a key milestone in the project’s market debut. Since then, the token has secured listings on major exchanges, including Binance Spot and Kraken, as well as several other trading platforms.

Although its valuation has dropped to around $600 million, its trading activity has continued to accelerate. Notably, NIGHT’s volume has skyrocketed by 102% over the past 24 hours to $39.66 million. The vast majority of this volume stems from Bitget, KuCoin, and Binance.
A Busy Year Ahead for Midnight
Beyond trading activity, Hoskinson emphasized that Midnight’s development pipeline is accelerating. He noted that the project’s guarded mainnet had launched last month, marking a transition into a more advanced deployment phase.
He further highlighted a pattern of steady progress, with meaningful updates and milestones emerging approximately every three months.
“It’s just been remarkable to see how every three months, major progress is made, major partnerships and collaborations come on board,” Hoskinson stated, adding that “it’s going to be a very busy year.”
Indeed, Midnight has been gaining momentum over the past few months. It has secured major links with Google, Telegram, and the UK-based bank Monument Bank Limited. Despite these milestones, Hoskinson is teasing more partnerships for the project, potentially making the year a busy one for Midnight.
