Speaking in a public X Spaces session on September 17, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson outlined a set of behind-the-scenes discussions and integration pathways aimed at bringing XRP and Ripple USD closer to Cardano\u2019s stack, describing a \u201cpackage for XRP\u201d that spans wallet support, a DeFi execution layer, and a standards-based route for Ripple\u2019s stablecoin to deploy across multiple ecosystems.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had a few calls with the Ripple USD team. We\u2019ve talked to Flair, we\u2019ve talked to John Deaton<\/a>, you know, we\u2019ve talked to Brad [Garlinghouse], and we\u2019ve definitely had discussions with a variety of people from the XRP ecosystem. And we want to build a package for XRP,\u201d Hoskinson said<\/a>, framing the outreach as part of a broader cross-ecosystem strategy rather than a single bilateral tie-up.<\/p>\n

Cardano Founder Unveils Plans For XRP And RLUSD<\/h2>\n

On the product side, Hoskinson said the plan begins with user-level access and extends into application deployment and liquidity. \u201cLace [wallet]<\/a> will support XRP as one of the improved emergency support,\u201d he noted, adding that \u201cwe have a DeFi layer for XRP that uses Midnight Cardano. So it\u2019s very easy to use XRP smart contracts and deploy XRP applications without requiring foundation changes to XRP\u2019s design.\u201d He positioned that approach as a way to let XRP developers ship without altering the XRP Ledger\u2019s base-layer architecture.<\/p>\n

The Cardano founder also described exploratory workstreams with projects adjacent to the XRP ecosystem. \u201cAs certain XRP projects like Flair, we\u2019d like to find a path to get them into the Cardano banking system,\u201d he said, indicating that teams building on or around XRP could be onboarded to Cardano infrastructure if technical and commercial conditions are met.<\/p>\n

A separate through-line in the discussion was Ripple USD\u2019s go-to-market design and its sensitivity to the policy environment around stablecoin yields. \u201cWith the Ripple USD, we talked to them starting last year right when they announced,\u201d Hoskinson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said, look, we just got out. We just got our prices. It\u2019s been a long road. There\u2019s a lot going on. Come back in a little bit and talk more deeply. And now we\u2019re on the other side of it. And I think there\u2019s definitely a path to have that conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that the team wanted clarity on \u201cwhere Genius<\/a> was going to go, because that would have a huge impact on the overall landscape of stablecoins in general. The reason being is that, you know, can you offer a yielder with your stablecoin? And the answer is currently no from the Genius side. So that had to get passed. And now that that\u2019s passed, we\u2019re starting to think about their longer term commercialization plans.\u201d<\/p>\n

From an integration-architecture perspective, Hoskinson advocated that Ripple USD avoid bespoke, one-off listings and instead adopt a standardized, market-driven onboarding model. \u201cWhat we\u2019ve advocated for with Ripple USD is for XRP, for Ripple to push for a self-serve listing model, like Coinbase has with Rosetta,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo they basically create a framework. And then if an ecosystem is interested in supporting Ripple USD, basically what they do is they certify against that standard and they do all the implementation work. And as long as that work is done correctly, then they get preferential consideration for where Ripple USD gets deployed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rationale, according to Hoskinson, is to keep Ripple USD\u2019s expansion<\/a> neutral and scalable across chains while lowering coordination overhead. \u201cAfter Ethereum and whatever, you have to kind of think, okay, well, what\u2019s next? And there\u2019s 14,000 options and they don\u2019t really want to be in the business of picking winners and losers a lot. You want to go where the demand is, the desire is, and you also want to have a lot of moving pieces for\u2014you want to remove a lot of the moving pieces from the integration complexity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that neither side is natively expert in the other\u2019s architecture, underscoring the need for open standards: \u201cThe XRP team is by far not an expert on our architecture. Why would they be? We\u2019re very bespoke and exotic. And similarly, we\u2019re not experts in XRP architecture. So we need to open standards and basically help people sort that out.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the process, Hoskinson hinted that Cardano would make the first technical moves where appropriate and only then discuss commercial terms. \u201cIf an ecosystem is interested, we have to make the first move. We make that first move and then after doing it, enter commercial negotiations to figure out the next step after that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
