Charles Hoskinson envisions Cardano's technology benefiting XRP and Bitcoin, potentially reaching a $13 trillion opportunity in the next 5-10 years.
To achieve this, Cardano's Total Value Locked (TVL) would need to increase by 73,182%, currently standing at $400 million compared to Ethereum's $64.17 billion and Solana's $9.61 billion.
Cardano's Midnight protocol, developed by Input Output Global (IOG), focuses on data protection and security using zero-knowledge (ZK) technology to bring real-world assets onto the blockchain, essential for unlocking the RWA opportunity.
Hoskinson criticized President Donald Trump's regulatory approach, emphasizing the need for clarity and inclusivity, while Cardano continues to expand its browser accessibility and work on integrating XRP support for the Lace wallet.
