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.

Crypto Systems Could Be Outpaced By Quantum Tech By 2033, Says Hoskinson

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson warns that quantum computers could break current blockchain cryptography by 2033, with a probability exceeding 50%. He highlighted Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 361 as a potential path for Bitcoin to migrate to quantum-resistant addresses. Most blockchains, including Bitcoin, rely on encryption vulnerable to quantum attacks. Cardano is proactively researching lattice-based cryptography and plans to adopt federal quantum-resistant standards (FIPS 203-206), leveraging its scheduled annual hard forks for seamless upgrades. Hoskinson noted that while Cardano's transition could be straightforward, Bitcoin's path is less clear due to its slower, more contested upgrade process. The broader crypto industry faces an urgent deadline to overhaul its security systems.

Cardano Founder Says Bitcoin Has Entered ‘Shitcoin Land’

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson criticized Bitcoin's governance and response to quantum computing threats in a livestream titled "BIP 361: Welcome to ShitcoinLand, Bitcoin." He argued that Bitcoin's resistance to change has left it vulnerable, with over 34% of all Bitcoin (approximately 8 million BTC) exposed to potential theft by quantum computers due to revealed public keys. Hoskinson claimed BIP 361's proposed solution—a hard fork to freeze non-migrated coins—would render around 1.7 million BTC, including Satoshi's estimated 1.1 million, unspendable due to outdated wallet formats. He contrasted Bitcoin's rigid culture with governance models in Cardano, Polkadot, and Ethereum, which he says offer better mechanisms for protocol upgrades. Hoskinson acknowledged the quantum threat as real but argued Bitcoin's ideological inflexibility complicates a effective response.

Charles Hoskinson Blasts Ripple For Backing Bill That Could Crush Competition

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has sharply criticized Ripple and its CEO Brad Garlinghouse for supporting proposed U.S. legislation that would classify most new tokens as securities by default. Hoskinson argues this approach would harm competition, protect established players like Ripple through exemptions, and remove legal protections for DeFi and open-source developers. He warns the bill replicates the SEC’s aggressive regulatory stance and could expose software creators to unreasonable liability. Hoskinson also addressed the XRP community, clarifying that his criticism targets Ripple’s lobbying—not the token itself—and contrasted Ripple’s “mammoth premine” with Cardano’s more distributed token distribution.

Charles Hoskinson Calls for Revote in Liqwid DAO Governance Dispute

Charles Hoskinson has called for a revote in a governance dispute within the Liqwid DAO, a decentralized finance protocol on the Cardano network, concerning the allocation of NIGHT tokens. He raised concerns about the fairness and transparency of the initial voting process, emphasizing that decentralized governance must be accountable and free from conflicts of interest. Hoskinson suggested that excluding insiders from the revote could help restore community trust. The situation highlights broader challenges in DAO governance, including the need for transparent processes and community involvement in decision-making. The outcome of the proposed revote is being closely watched by the blockchain community.

Can ADA Price Still Surge? Cardano Founder Says The Best Is Yet To Come

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson remains optimistic about the crypto market's future, stating that "our best days are ahead" despite recent price declines. While acknowledging regulatory concerns—such as his strong opposition to the CLARITY Act, which he believes could harm innovation—Hoskinson emphasizes long-term growth potential. Meanwhile, ADA's price dropped to $0.26 amid global risk aversion, though it has since recovered slightly above $0.27. On-chain data shows growth in Cardano's DeFi ecosystem, with its stablecoin-to-TVL ratio tripling in under a year, though recent ADA price drops have impacted dollar-denominated TVL figures.

Cardano Founder Sounds Alarm Over New US Crypto Bill

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson strongly opposes the new U.S. crypto market structure bill, H.R. 3633, arguing it would harm innovation by classifying new digital assets as securities by default. He warns that the bill would force projects to undergo a difficult process to prove decentralization and potentially never escape securities classification. Hoskinson claims the SEC could exploit vague language to delay or block projects indefinitely, stifling new development in the U.S. and protecting older networks. He calls for a principles-based rewrite that modernizes securities laws and limits regulatory overreach, instead of a bill he believes enshrines the SEC's aggressive enforcement approach.

Cardano Isn’t ‘Fading,’ Hoskinson Says: ‘I’ve Lost Over $3B’ And Still Building

Charles Hoskinson, during a livestream from Tokyo, refuted claims that Cardano is "fading" or "dead," emphasizing that the project is transitioning into a phase of commercialization after years of infrastructure development. Despite the bear market, he highlighted that key building blocks like decentralization and governance are complete, and efforts are now focused on developing real-world use cases such as Hydra for scaling and the privacy-focused sidechain Midnight. Hoskinson argued that global economic shifts and institutional mistrust make blockchain-based systems essential for a neutral global settlement layer. Addressing critics who attribute his optimism to wealth, he revealed he has lost over $3 billion but remains committed to Cardano, stating he is "here for life" regardless of financial outcomes. At the time of reporting, ADA was trading at $0.2521.

Cardano Founder Says He’ll Sell A Blackhawk And Lambos, Mothball His Jet

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson announced plans to sell his Blackhawk helicopter, multiple Lamborghinis, and mothball his private jet, framing the decision as a personal reset and a critique of crypto's cultural shift. Reflecting on the industry's 2021 boom, he argued that mainstream acceptance drained crypto's original "punk rock" energy and led to complacency. Hoskinson admitted his own opulent lifestyle represented the problem and stated he would downsize to return to his roots, focusing on hands-on building and coding. He emphasized a return to core principles, citing recent technical work and the use of AI tools to fuel creativity. At the time of reporting, Cardano (ADA) was trading at $0.2853.
