Cardano (ADA) Founder Charles Hoskinson Opens Up About His Ties to Ripple Labs Execs

In a twist that's catching the crypto world off guard, Charles Hoskinson has opened up about his relationship with Ripple execs

In a surprising twist, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has revealed his personal ties with Ripple executives, shedding light on a relationship that has shifted significantly in recent times.

While friction and community clashes had previously defined the interaction between Cardano and XRP circles, Hoskinson’s remarks in a recent interview with Scott Melker of the Wolf of All Streets suggest a more diplomatic tone has emerged.

This newfound understanding could signal deeper collaboration or simply strategic positioning as both camps navigate the turbulent landscape of crypto regulation.

This development is sure to spark interest in ADA’s future price trajectory.

Cardano and XRP Now Healthy Rivals

In the interview, Hoskinson mentioned having a direct relationship with executives at Ripple Labs.

This positive comment comes as ADA price is experiencing a bullish rebound after epic selloffs.

Cardano was changing hands at $0.6747, up 3.95% in the past 24 hours per CoinMarketCap data.

After paring off short-term losses, analysts are now curious about the future of ADA.

The ADA/USDT price chart on TradingView offers clues to where Cardano may head next, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sitting at a neutral 49.

This midline RSI suggests a potential breakout is on the table – if ADA can sustain its recent bullish momentum.

The chart shows ADA recently rebounding from key support at $0.6367 (circle A). Should it break through resistance levels at points B and C, the token could retest its multi-week high of $1.165, marked as point D.

Given renewed optimism in the Cardano community – largely driven by Charles Hoskinson’s rebranding push and efforts to mend ties with XRP supporters – this target appears within reach.

Previously, tensions escalated when XRP proponents accused the SEC of favoring Ethereum in its regulatory approach, a claim Hoskinson publicly rejected.

However, in an unexpected turn, the Cardano founder later apologized, softening tensions between the two communities.

Now, with both Ripple and Cardano exploring future collaboration, one of Hoskinson’s possible endgames could be the deployment of RLUSD – Ripple’s stablecoin – on the Cardano blockchain.

Meme Index as a Community-Favored Alternative

Meme Index is a decentralized platform giving investors diversified exposure to top meme coins through four index baskets: Titan, Moonshot, Midcap, and Meme Frenzy – each tailored to different risk levels.

These Indexes, Titan, Moonshot, Midcap, and Meme Frenzy, allow investors to place bets based on their risk tolerances.

The platform runs on $MEMEX, a native governance token that has seen strong presale demand, with over $4.3 million raised so far.

Priced at just $0.0166883, $MEMEX offers early buyers an attractive entry point before it lists on major exchanges.

As meme coin adoption grows, analysts suggest $MEMEX could rival larger assets like ADA and XRP in the near future.

Users can buy $MEMEX through the official Meme Index site by connecting their wallet (such as Best Wallet).

Payment can be made via ETH, USDT, or a bank card.
