So, there’s this chap, Charles Hoskinson, the brain behind Cardano, who decided to spill the interstellar beans during an X Spaces session on September 17. Apparently, he’s been having a series of cosmic chats with the XRP and Ripple USD crowd, plotting a grand scheme to intertwine their fates like a galactic knot. 🌌✨ He’s calling it a “package for XRP,” which, in layman’s terms, means wallet support, a DeFi execution layer, and a standards-based highway for Ripple’s stablecoin to zoom across multiple ecosystems. Because, you know, why stick to one planet when you can colonize the whole galaxy?
“We’ve had a few calls with the Ripple USD team,” Hoskinson casually dropped, as if discussing the weather. “We’ve chatted with Flair, John Deaton, Brad [Garlinghouse], and basically anyone who’s ever held an XRP token. And we’re not just stopping at small talk-we’re building a package for XRP.” 🚀 He insists this isn’t a mere handshake but part of a grand, cross-ecosystem strategy. Because, let’s face it, bilateral tie-ups are so last millennium.
Cardano’s XRP Love Story: Wallets, DeFi, and Midnight Shenanigans
On the product front, Hoskinson’s plan starts with giving users access and then spirals into application deployment and liquidity. “Lace wallet will support XRP as part of its emergency support,” he noted, because nothing says ‘I love you’ like being there in a crisis. 💼💔 He also mentioned a DeFi layer for XRP using Midnight Cardano, which apparently makes it a breeze to deploy XRP applications without tinkering with the XRP Ledger’s base-layer architecture. It’s like adding a turbocharger to a unicycle-impractical but impressive.
Hoskinson also hinted at flirting with XRP-adjacent projects like Flair, aiming to drag them into the Cardano banking system. “If they play their cards right and meet our technical and commercial demands, they’re in,” he said, channeling his inner bouncer at an exclusive club. 🕶️
Meanwhile, Ripple USD’s go-to-market strategy is as delicate as a house of cards in a wind tunnel. “We started talking to them last year, right after they announced their plans,” Hoskinson recalled. “They were like, ‘Give us a minute, we’re still catching our breath.’ And now, we’re back at the table, ready to dive into their long-term commercialization plans.” 📈
He also mentioned the Genius saga, which apparently had a “huge impact on the overall landscape of stablecoins.” Because, you know, offering yield on a stablecoin is as controversial as suggesting pineapple belongs on pizza. 🍍🤷♂️
From an integration perspective, Hoskinson is pushing for Ripple USD to adopt a standardized, self-serve listing model. “Think Coinbase’s Rosetta, but for Ripple USD,” he explained. “Create a framework, let ecosystems certify against it, and boom-preferential deployment. It’s like a cosmic matchmaking service, but with fewer awkward first dates.” 💫
The goal? To keep Ripple USD’s expansion neutral, scalable, and as drama-free as possible. “You don’t want to be in the business of picking winners and losers,” Hoskinson wisely noted. “You want to go where the demand is, and remove as many moving pieces as possible from the integration complexity.” 🧩
He also admitted that neither team is an expert in the other’s architecture. “We’re bespoke and exotic, they’re… well, XRP. So, open standards are the way to go,” he said, emphasizing the need for a universal translator in this intergalactic partnership. 🌍🤝
Charles Hoskinson yesterday on behind the scenes plans for $XRP and Ripples $RLUSD.
> XRP yield opportunities on Cardano with various integrations e.g Flare.
> Talks with RLUSD Team to get it on Cardano.
Interestingly he mentions a self-service framework he wants for RLUSD,…

In true Hoskinson fashion, he hinted that Cardano would take the first leap, technically speaking, and then haggle over the commercial details later. “We make the first move, then we talk money,” he said, sounding like a galactic negotiator. 💼🚀
At press time, ADA was trading at $0.90, because even in the cosmos, gravity still applies. 📉
