#Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has criticized Wyoming Token Commission executive director Anthony Apollo for ignoring Cardano and XRP in the stablecoin project.
Hoskinson has been vocal about recent developments in the Wyoming stablecoin project. For context, the agency announced nine chains where Wyoming would issue the imminent state-backed stablecoin, including networks like Ethereum, Stellar, and Sui.
However, the major shock came when the project did not include Cardano, Bitcoin, and XRP as networks that could accomodate the stablecoin. The decision did not bode well with Hoskinson, who has repeatedly cited a bias.
Cardano Founder Taunts Apollo
In a tweet today, Hoskinson taunted the Wyoming Token Commission’s head, Anthony Apollo, for the snub. He reposted a tweet from a Cardano enthusiast, stating that the executive director overlooked Cardano and XRP but chose Ethereum because he knows a lot about the network.
The Cardano founder stated that his knowledge came from his time with Consensys, one of the core developers of the Ethereum network. He implied that Apollo was biased in his decision to include Ethereum and snub Cardano.
Notably, the response came to a tweet from Stake With Pride, one of the Cardano ecosystem’s SPOs and Dreps. The user shared a clip from the December 13 Wyoming Joint Appropriation Committee meeting, where Apollo insinuated that Cardano is centralized.
