The relationship between Hoskinson and the XRP community has not always been good.
In November 2024, Hoskinson apologized to the XRP community for calling it “toxic and mean.”
Charles Hoskinson, the CEO of Cardano, demonstrated sympathies for the XRP community, the cryptocurrency created by Ripple, and announced that the network of which it is creator is looking to integrate RLUSD, the “native” stablin of the XRPL network. This integration of Rlusd into the Cardano Network would be “free,” according to Hoskinson.
We told Ripple that we are here to help. We believe that XRP Defi is very important and we would like to find a way of having Rlusd in Cardano. We will integrate RLUSD for free because we like the XRP community. We are still in conversations.

The RLUSD integration would bring greater interoperability between Cardano and XRPL. Share a stable currency common to both ecosystems It will allow liquidity movements from one network to another in a simpler way.
Creating bridges between Cardano and XRPL?
This RLUSD support could come from the hand of a solution «Cross-Chain»Or intercade, as a bridge, between Cardano and XRPL that allows to transfer more tokens from one network to the other. Recently, Wanchain Bridge added A bridge between Cardano and XRPL. At the time of writing, however, this solution Cross-Chain It only allows Cardano’s XRP cryptocurrency to the XRP network.
XRPL, meanwhile, only allows you to pass some minor and unknown tokens towards networks such as Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, in addition to Ada to Cardano. This indicates that the interoperability between both cryptocurrencies remains at an early stage and requires more development.
In 2022, Hoskinson expressed negative opinions About XRP and its community, qualifying it as “toxic and mean” and said that XRP had no technical or association value. These statements arose in the context of disputes with the XRP community, particularly for his position on the demand for SEC against Ripple.
It makes no sense to invite toxicity to your life. It is abusive and useless. Even saying it now, there are memes mocking babies. Life is too short. Go ahead and leave it. XRP does not offer any association or technical value. The community is toxic and petty. I can live without her.

Also, for the attacks he received from the XRP community, he said he planned to stop talking about Ripple and XRP, he would choose to respond “without comments” in any conversation related to the subject.
In November 2024, Hoskinson apologized publicly with the XRP community for their previous comments and expressed interest in collaborating with Ripple. «There are many areas of potential collaboration … I would love to find ways to build bridges and work with [la comunidad XRP]”, Hoskinson commented In a video.
At the time of writing, there is no exact date for the deployment of Rlusd in Cardano.
