Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson<\/a> has warned XRP investors about Ripple, stating that the company is dumping XRP to fund its business operations. He also noted that Ripple\u2019s business doesn\u2019t in any way benefit these XRP holders but only the company\u2019s shareholders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cardano Founder Warns XRP Investors About Ripple<\/h2>\n

In an interview<\/a>, the Cardano founder stated that there is nothing in the Ripple network that creates buy demand for the XRP token. He further remarked that the company sells its XRP holdings<\/a> to fund more acquisitions. This came as Hoskinson had alleged that the company allocated up to 80% of the XRP supply to itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Cardano founder also alleged that Ripple\u2019s goal is to inflate the XRP price and then sell their holdings to buy more assets. He noted that Ripple uses the XRP Ledger (XRPL)<\/a> to run its operations, but there isn\u2019t much demand for XRP, especially since there is no native staking or other DeFi mechanisms on the network.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As such, he believes that Ripple is the only one gaining from holding XRP, describing it as a huge value transfer to just one company while XRP investors do not benefit. The Cardano founder further explained that Ripple is strategically using its XRP holdings to build Web 2.5 companies and that none of the value from these companies has to accrue to XRP.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that Ripple acquired Hidden Road and GTreasury, which have now become Ripple Prime and Ripple Treasury<\/a>. At the start of the year, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse had assured XRP investors that XRP remains central to their vision of being the internet of value. He has also, on several occasions this year, described XRP as the \u2018North Star\u2019 of their operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No Commitment On Ripple\u2019s End To The XRP Ecosystem<\/h2>\n

The Cardano founder<\/a> indicated that there was no commitment on Ripple\u2019s part to XRP investors, despite its large holdings and its use of the token to fund acquisitions. He noted that the company doesn\u2019t conduct any XRP buybacks, even when it generates revenue or profits. Instead, they only continue to sell more XRP.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hoskinson also mentioned that XRP investors do not have any rights in Ripple or any access to stock options simply by being XRP holders<\/a>. Interestingly, he likened Ripple to Tether, noting how these companies accrue all the value without their users or XRP investors, in this case, getting anything. However, it is worth noting that Ripple has continued to integrate XRP into its platforms, most recently with the launch of native XRP capabilities on Ripple Treasury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.40, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data<\/a> from CoinMarketCap.<\/p>\n
