Charles Hoskinson addresses the narrative that Cardano lacks USDC and Tether support due to strained relations or refusal to pay integration fees.
Hoskinson explains that Cardano's engagement with Circle and Tether is ongoing but contingent on network maturity and leverage.
The absence of USDC and USDT on Cardano is attributed to market dynamics, value distribution, and the need for significant pre-minted issuance from founding entities.
Hoskinson emphasizes the importance of building internal capacity within Cardano's DeFi ecosystem and hints at potential for Bitcoin DeFi integration to attract stablecoin providers.
