Did The Cardano Founder Help To Derail XRP’s Growth? Ripple Community Draws Out Hoskinson

A Ripple community member accused Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson of being involved in the "ETHgate" saga, alleging it helped derail XRP's growth. The ETHgate refers to claims that the U.S. SEC favored Ethereum by not classifying it as a security, while suing Ripple over XRP's status. The member suggested this hampered XRP's price performance. Hoskinson defended himself, noting he left Ethereum in 2014 due to disagreements and has since been critical of the network. He questioned how he could later conspire with Ethereum against XRP. The accuser later admitted the claim was based on hearsay and expressed hope for the truth to emerge. The discussion originated from a debate about the CLARITY Act, a crypto market structure bill that recently advanced in the Senate. Hoskinson warned the bill is imperfect and could allow the SEC to classify new projects as securities. The accuser stated support for the bill, hoping it would enable both ADA and XRP to rally. Ripple's CEO commented that XRP's status is already clarified by a prior court ruling, regardless of the bill's passage.
