IOG CEO and Cardano founder, Charles Hoskinson, refuted allegations that IOG was at fault for the Cardano Foundation’s (CF) past decision regarding a USDC integration and instead pointed at the CF’s past mistakes.
Hoskinson underscored the community’s desire for stablecoin support and said that if no stablecoin solution materializes, Cardano’s future is at risk.
Jane, a user on X, suggested a stablecoin collaboration between Ripple and Cardano.
Hoskinson confirmed that progress is already underway: “Jane, we’ve already had a call with the RLUSD people. We are actively talking.”
Hoskinson also revealed that discussions with Ripple were in the “early days,” hinting at a plan to include Ripple’s infrastructure in Cardano’s upcoming privacy-focused sidechain, Midnight.
Hoskinson and Ripple CTO David Schwartz have engaged in technical discussions to determine how each platform could benefit.
Formal partnerships typically require patience, Hoskinson noted.
The ongoing conversation drew attention to unresolved tensions between Hoskinson, the CF, and various members of the community.
The discussion also highlighted Cardano’s potential collaborations with Ripple.
