Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano (ADA), has extended an official apology to the XRP community, retracting previous comments that fueled tension between the two blockchain networks. In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Hoskinson acknowledged past disagreements and expressed interest in collaborating with Ripple’s XRP Ledger. This gesture reflects a significant shift in tone and signals a possible new phase of cooperation between the Cardano and XRP communities.
The recent reconciliation follows a long-standing dispute rooted in the ETH Gate controversy, which alleged that Ethereum, with SEC support, unfairly targeted Ripple and XRP. Initially, Hoskinson, a co-founder of Ethereum, dismissed these allegations. However, based on the opinion that his stand looks down on the XRP community, calls for an apology previous to this were made. At first, Hoskinson declined to apologize for the backlash and rumors that he had received from XRP supporters. It is specifically viewed now as an attempt towards appeasement to address problems and negotiate cooperation.
