You Won’t Believe What Cardano’s Founder Is Planning with Bitcoin and XRP!

In a rather thrilling interview with eToro’s very own Sam North, Charles Hoskinson, the man with a plan, took a delightful jaunt into the world of cryptocurrencies and, naturally, came out with a dazzling proposal. Hoskinson—whom we’ve all come to know as the mastermind behind Cardano—didn’t mince words while critiquing the XRPL’s slightly humble approach to smart contracts. Oh, the horror! It’s as if someone tried to launch a spaceship with a paper airplane instead of a rocket.

While Ripple’s ecosystem is, shall we say, “well-capitalized,” Hoskinson couldn’t help but point out that the XRPL’s technical limitations were rather like trying to build a skyscraper with a handful of sand. The solution, according to the maestro himself? Well, why not add a computational layer to the ledger? Nothing too fancy, just a bit of extra horsepower to sprinkle in smart contracts and allow for some rather grown-up real-world asset (RWA) integration. Simple, really. Only the future of crypto is at stake.

But wait, there’s more! Hoskinson also dropped the bombshell that Cardano is preparing to integrate both XRP and Bitcoin into Midnight, Cardano’s privacy-centric blockchain. Why? Because who wouldn’t want to mix the cool cats of crypto together? Hoskinson believes that this move will lead to mutual benefits across the three ecosystems, which is the crypto equivalent of a dinner party where everyone gets along, and no one brings up politics.

And just when you thought things couldn’t get more exciting, Hoskinson boldly declared that these collaborative shenanigans could give Cardano’s Total Value Locked (TVL) a boost so magnificent it might just soar past the combined TVL of Ethereum and Solana—by a whopping four times! Yes, you heard that right. Four times! One can only imagine the digital fireworks going off in the Cardano camp.

By targeting those pesky technical gaps in Bitcoin and XRPL, while simultaneously making the blockchain world just a little bit more interoperable, Cardano is positioning itself as the avant-garde of the crypto revolution. It’s like watching a maestro orchestrate a symphony—if that symphony happened to involve digital coins and a lot of code.
