Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has confirmed that discussions are taking place between Cardano and Ripple regarding the integration of the Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin. This news comes after Cardano faced criticism for not integrating popular stablecoins like USDC. While Cardano had the opportunity to partner with Circle, the issuer of USDC, in 2021, the deal fell through. In contrast, the RLUSD stablecoin, launched last month, has already gained traction and been listed on exchanges like Bitstamp and Bullish. However, it remains unclear if and how RLUSD can be integrated into the Cardano blockchain. Hoskinson has expressed admiration for the RLUSD team but emphasized that IOG funding for ecosystem initiatives should not be the responsibility of private profits.
