Charles Hoskinson 認為 XRP 在懷俄明州穩定幣傳奇中遭受了慘重損失

在過去的幾周里，懷俄明州穩定代幣（WST）計畫一直是卡爾達諾創始人查爾斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）的熱門話題。

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has recently doubled down on his claims that XRP suffered a major loss in the Wyoming Stablecoin (WST) saga.

Cardano 創始人 Charles Hoskinson 最近再次強調了 XRP 在懷俄明州穩定幣（WST）傳奇中遭受重大損失的說法。

As previously reported by The Crypto Basic, Hoskinson, whose blockchain failed to make the cut for the project, has argued that the selection process for the project to usher in a dollar-pegged stablecoin backed by the pro-crypto state was unfair and biased.

正如《Crypto Basic》之前報導的那樣，Hoskinson 的區塊鏈未能進入該項目，他認為該項目引入由親加密國家支持的與美元掛鉤的穩定幣的選擇過程是不公平且有偏見的。

Now, in response to statements from prominent crypto influencer Ben “Bitboy” Armstrong, Hoskinson has asserted that XRP lost out big due to the allegedly biased WST project blockchain selection process.

現在，針對著名加密貨幣影響者 Ben “Bitboy” Armstrong 的聲明，Hoskinson 斷言，由於據稱存在偏見的 WST 項目區塊鏈選擇過程，XRP 損失慘重。

“How much have you been hit in the head? XRP was a huge loser in this biased process,” the Cardano founder retorted in a response to Bitboy, who had contended that the XRP army did not have to care about the outcome of the WST project after news broke that Ripple, the primary backer of the XRP project, had secured the approval of the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) to launch its RLUSD stablecoin.

「你的頭被擊中了多少？在這個有偏見的過程中，XRP 是一個巨大的輸家。

Hoskinson shared his view, arguing that the WST project would have provided a major liquidity boost to the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and further showcased the capabilities of Ripple’s RLUSD rails.

Hoskinson 分享了他的觀點，認為 WST 計畫將為 XRP Ledger (XRPL) 提供重大流動性提升，並進一步展示 Ripple 的 RLUSD 軌道的功能。

The Cardano founder explained that Ripple had developed a system that served as an alternative to Circle’s, but Circle ultimately emerged as the winner.

這位 Cardano 創始人解釋說，Ripple 開發了一個系統來取代 Circle 的系統，但 Circle 最終成為了贏家。

He noted that if Ripple had been allowed to participate in the bidding process, Wyoming could have issued millions of dollars in tokens using the RLUSD infrastructure. This, he suggested, would have boosted liquidity on several major exchanges that were missed out on.

他指出，如果 Ripple 被允許參與競標過程，懷俄明州可能會使用 RLUSD 基礎設施發行數百萬美元的代幣。他表示，這將增加幾家被錯過的主要交易所的流動性。

A Big Conspiracy?

一個大陰謀？

In Hoskinson’s telling, the exclusion of crypto projects like Cardano, XRP, and Bitcoin from the WST initiative results from a conspiracy between leading Ethereum developer Consensys, stablecoin issuer Circle, and leading asset manager BlackRock.

Hoskinson 表示，將 Cardano、XRP 和比特幣等加密項目排除在 WST 計劃之外是領先的以太坊開發商 Consensys、穩定幣發行商 Circle 和領先的資產管理公司 BlackRock 之間的陰謀的結果。

This view comes as the Cardano founder claims that the selection of the project’s blockchains was done by a small group comprising Consensys and Circle ex-employees. As for BlackRock’s involvement, many have long seen the investment banking giant as a backer of Circle due to partnerships dating back to 2022.

卡爾達諾創始人聲稱，該專案區塊鏈的選擇是由 Consensys 和 Circle 前員工組成的小組完成的。至於貝萊德的參與，許多人長期以來一直將這家投資銀行巨頭視為 Circle 的支持者，因為合作關係可以追溯到 2022 年。

According to Cardano’s Hoskinson, the WST project, first conceived in 2023, was initially billed as a multichain project to rival solutions from Circle and Tether. However, he claims things changed with Anthony Apollo’s involvement in the project.

根據 Cardano 的 Hoskinson 的說法，WST 項目最初構想於 2023 年，最初被宣傳為多鏈項目，以與 Circle 和 Tether 的解決方案競爭。然而，他聲稱隨著安東尼·阿波羅參與該項目，情況發生了變化。

Anthony Apollo is the executive director of the commission spearheading the WST project. Interestingly, Apollo has a history with Consensys, having spent nearly a year and a half leading various departments at the firm.

安東尼·阿波羅 (Anthony Apollo) 是 WST 計畫領導委員會的執行董事。有趣的是，Apollo 與 Consensys 有著悠久的歷史，他花了近一年半的時間領導公司的各個部門。

According to Hoskinson, Apollo waved off the WST project’s multichain intent in favor of an Ethereum-focused direction. He claims that to achieve this, the director ushered in opaque blockchain evaluation processes instead of allowing each project to build prototypes to demonstrate how they could meet the project’s needs as initially agreed.

Hoskinson 表示，Apollo 放棄了 WST 計畫的多鏈意圖，轉而支持以以太坊為中心的方向。他聲稱，為了實現這一目標，總監引入了不透明的區塊鏈評估流程，而不是允許每個專案建立原型來展示它們如何滿足最初商定的專案需求。

Per now inaccessible documents shared by Mysten Labs co-founder Evan Cheng, the shortlisted blockchains included Solana, Avalanche, Sui, Stellar, and Ethereum and its Layer 2 chains like Optimism, Base, and Polygon.

根據 Mysten Labs 聯合創始人 Evan Cheng 分享的目前無法訪問的文件，入圍的區塊鏈包括 Solana、Avalanche、Sui、Stellar 和以太坊及其第 2 層鏈，如 Optimism、Base 和 Polygon。

A major battering ram in Hoskinson’s fight against the WST project’s blockchain selection process is the selection of Stellar over the XRPL. While both projects are built with remittances and payments in mind, the XRPL is widely seen as the more successful project, boasting a market cap of nearly $140 billion and averaging tens of billions in daily trading volumes.

Hoskinson 反對 WST 專案區塊鏈選擇過程的一個主要攻勢是選擇 Stellar 而不是 XRPL。雖然這兩個項目都是為了匯款和支付而構建的，但 XRPL 被廣泛認為是更成功的項目，其市值接近 1,400 億美元，平均每日交易量為數百億美元。

For context, Stellar only has a market capitalization of about $13 billion with about $1 billion in 24-hour trading volume.

就背景而言，Stellar 的市值僅為約 130 億美元，24 小時交易量約為 10 億美元。

“So let me get this straight. Apparently, Stellar can do stuff that Ripple can’t do according to the scoring criteria,” Hoskinson lamented in a broadcast in November 2024.

「所以讓我說清楚。顯然，根據評分標準，Stellar 可以做 Ripple 做不到的事情，」Hoskinson 在 2024 年 11 月的廣播中感嘆道。
