Cardano创始人、加密货币领域最受关注的人物之一 Charles Hoskinson 表示,他已准备好将Ripple的 RLUSD 稳定币引入他的生态系统。
这是在接受 Big Pey(一个专注于Cardano的 YouTube 频道)采访时透露的,他在采访中谈到了与Ripple高管 Brad Garlinghouse 和 David Schwartz 的会面。经过多年的相互争斗之后,两个阵营可能最终会合作。
经纽约金融服务部 (NYDFS) 批准后,RLUSD 将在XRP Ledger ( XRP L) 和Ethereum上推出,最终可能会部署在Cardano上。

Charles wants RLUSD to find a home on Midnight, a privacy-focused sidechain within the Cardano network. Midnight runs on a dual-token model with NIGHT for transactions and DUST for governance and staking. Charles envisions RLUSD becoming an alternative currency on the sidechain, alongside XRP.
“It makes sense to bring XRP into the Midnight story,” he said, adding that RLUSD could strengthen the privacy and functionality of Midnight’s ecosystem. Charles believes RLUSD and XRP would enhance its appeal to developers and users alike.
Midnight’s dual-token system already covers transactions and governance, but RLUSD could bring stability to its financial infrastructure.
Marlowe, Cardano’s open-source toolkit for creating smart contracts, might also play a role in this collaboration. Charles suggested that XRP and RLUSD could benefit more from Marlowe than Cardano’s native ADA token ever has.
According to him, its tools align perfectly with the functionality Ripple’s ecosystem requires. Charles pointed out that RLUSD could expand its use cases through Marlowe’s features, making it a more versatile asset. He called the integration “a no-brainer.”
Charles and Ripple’s community haven’t exactly been best friends. In fact, he’s gone as far as calling XRP supporters “trolls” in the past. The Ripple vs. SEC legal drama only made things worse, with Charles taking jabs at Ripple’s fans during the height of the case.
But last month, something changed. As we reported, Charles issued a public apology to the XRP community, admitting that the crypto industry’s infighting was counterproductive. “We all need to move forward,” he said. This opened the door to a more constructive relationship, leading to his recent discussions with Ripple’s leadership.
Let’s not forget who we’re dealing with here. Charles is no stranger to drama. His early days at Ethereum ended with a bitter split from Vitalik Buterin over governance. Charles wanted Ethereum to go for-profit, while Vitalik insisted on a non-profit model.
The fallout led Charles to create Cardano, which he marketed as a superior blockchain with decentralized governance. He’s spent years criticizing Ethereum, calling its governance a “dictatorship” under Vitalik’s control.
But now, Charles wants to see an end to what he’s called “petty tribalism” in crypto. “We have a window to grow this market into the trillions,” he said.
