Charles Hoskinson 认为 XRP 在怀俄明州稳定币传奇中遭受了惨重损失

在过去的几周里，怀俄明州稳定代币（WST）项目一直是卡尔达诺创始人查尔斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）的热门话题。

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

Cardano 创始人 Charles Hoskinson 最近再次强调了 XRP 在怀俄明州稳定币（WST）传奇中遭受重大损失的说法。

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》之前报道的那样，Hoskinson 的区块链未能进入该项目，他认为该项目引入由亲加密国家支持的与美元挂钩的稳定币的选择过程是不公平且有偏见的。

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.

现在，针对著名加密货币影响者 Ben “Bitboy” Armstrong 的声明，Hoskinson 断言，由于据称存在偏见的 WST 项目区块链选择过程，XRP 损失惨重。

“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.

“你的头被击中了多少？在这个有偏见的过程中，XRP 是一个巨大的输家。”Cardano 创始人在回复 Bitboy 时反驳道。 XRP 项目已获得纽约州金融服务部 (NYDFS) 的批准推出 RLUSD 稳定币。

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 分享了他的观点，认为 WST 项目将为 XRP Ledger (XRPL) 提供重大流动性提升，并进一步展示 Ripple 的 RLUSD 轨道的功能。

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.

这位 Cardano 创始人解释说，Ripple 开发了一个系统来替代 Circle 的系统，但 Circle 最终成为了赢家。

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 被允许参与竞标过程，怀俄明州可能会使用 RLUSD 基础设施发行数百万美元的代币。他表示，这将增加几家被错过的主要交易所的流动性。

A Big Conspiracy?

一个大阴谋？

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，将 Cardano、XRP 和比特币等加密项目排除在 WST 计划之外是领先的以太坊开发商 Consensys、稳定币发行商 Circle 和领先的资产管理公司 BlackRock 之间的阴谋的结果。

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.

卡尔达诺创始人声称，该项目区块链的选择是由 Consensys 和 Circle 前员工组成的一个小组完成的。至于贝莱德的参与，许多人长期以来一直将这家投资银行巨头视为 Circle 的支持者，因为合作关系可以追溯到 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.

根据 Cardano 的 Hoskinson 的说法，WST 项目最初构想于 2023 年，最初被宣传为一个多链项目，以与 Circle 和 Tether 的解决方案竞争。然而，他声称随着安东尼·阿波罗参与该项目，情况发生了变化。

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.

安东尼·阿波罗 (Anthony Apollo) 是 WST 项目牵头委员会的执行董事。有趣的是，Apollo 与 Consensys 有着悠久的历史，他花了近一年半的时间领导该公司的各个部门。

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 放弃了 WST 项目的多链意图，转而支持以以太坊为中心的方向。他声称，为了实现这一目标，总监引入了不透明的区块链评估流程，而不是允许每个项目构建原型来展示它们如何满足最初商定的项目需求。

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.

根据 Mysten Labs 联合创始人 Evan Cheng 分享的目前无法访问的文件，入围的区块链包括 Solana、Avalanche、Sui、Stellar 和以太坊及其第 2 层链，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 反对 WST 项目区块链选择过程的一个主要攻势是选择 Stellar 而不是 XRPL。虽然这两个项目都是为了汇款和支付而构建的，但 XRPL 被广泛认为是更成功的项目，其市值接近 1400 亿美元，平均每日交易量为数百亿美元。

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 的市值仅为约 130 亿美元，24 小时交易量约为 10 亿美元。

“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.

“所以让我说清楚。显然，根据评分标准，Stellar 可以做 Ripple 做不到的事情，”Hoskinson 在 2024 年 11 月的广播中感叹道。
